Putting people at the heart of business.
‘I have spent over 28 years in senior international leadership roles, helping to grow business in organisations like Kraft, Boots and Tata – holding positions on multiple executive boards as both Director and Chairman. In this time I have restructured businesses, bought and sold businesses, nurtured new business start-ups and delivered significant change management programmes.
More than anything else, this journey has convinced me that people make the difference to business success. The biggest career learning for me has been the profound importance of emotional intelligence and effective team working in helping people and organisations create happy futures.
As a consequence I felt compelled to establish a performance coaching business – The Holland Network – to help people work better together so that business becomes more rewarding and successful.’
NIGEL HOLLAND – FOUNDER, THE HOLLAND NETWORK (THN)

“THN works to transform individual and team performance using leading edge Performance Coaching approaches. Our success is driven by extensive senior leadership business experience, recognised coaching expertise and close alignment with the business HR strategy”

TESTIMONIALS
“Nigel’s ‘coaching with a point of view’ has had a profound impact on me and my business. Until I began being coached by Nigel I thought my vision was crystal clear for all to see. With Nigel’s help I have developed a vision with greater clarity, breadth and depth that is even more compelling to my clients.”
“Nigel is a brilliant mentor. Intelligent, caring and with a great sense of humour, Nigel has helped me through some big career challenges. A great listener, a respectful leader and incredible businessman, he has helped me reflect more on myself and be better at what I do.”
“I have seen Nigel take great pride in team coaching. Aside from optimising the internal team dynamics themselves Nigel always takes a wider view of ‘team’ to ensure all stakeholders are considered. In this way he encourages collective leadership.”
