Ian Lewis

Ian has lectured on HRD, Leadership and Management at universities in Tokyo, Geneva, Budapest, Bucharest and Paris, to global and national corporations, national and local governments, the UN and UNESCO. Ian coaches business leadership and organisational development, working with senior teams in many countries through lifecollege.org. Ian founded ‘Lifecollege.org’ in 1987 as an institution focussed on Affective Learning – Learning by Doing. He currently runs the Campaign for Adventure, www.campaignforadventure.org advising UK government on risk, adventure and enterprise and campaigning for a more adventurous attitude to life and access to its infinite possibilities for all through personal enterprise and entrepreneurship. In March, 2010, he completed an assignment with University of Transylvania, Brasov, helping build the skills of entrepreneurship and enterprise in Romania through Affective Learning. In 1989, Ian, at 39, left a staff of 7000 to lead themselves, which he had taught them to do. He is currently a director of three multimillion turnover companies, one UK centred, two global and several smaller, evolving, social enterprises. Ian climbs nice mountains, lives an outdoor life and has kayaked the 1000 miles from Scotland, around Ireland and back to Scotland. On reflection it was fun.
