Hello. I'm Marcus O'Dair, a professor and executive coach with a background in the creative industries. I help leaders with professional development and career change. 

I'm an executive coach and consultant with a background in the music industry and journalism.​​ I'm also a professor of innovation at University of the Arts London. 

​​​

I support leaders with career change and professional development, from first management role to MD / CEO.​​​​​ ​​And I support small businesses with business plans and strategy. 

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I have consulted for Linux Foundation and the Blockchain Research Institute and delivered leadership training for organisations including the British Council. 

​​​​

While many of my clients come from the creative industries or tech, ​​​​​I have coached people in sectors across the board from higher education to property management.

​​​​​​​​

I'm based in Brighton, on the south coast of England, but also work in London and online. 

​

100% of coaching clients say they would recommend me to a friend or colleague.

​

I have a PhD and an MBA as well as being a qualified executive and team coach. I also have more than 20 years of leadership and management experience as a magazine editor, music manager and associate dean.​ 

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I have written several books, as well as contributing to publications including The Guardian and The Independent. ​​​​I have also appeared on Radio 1, Radio 3, BBC 6 Music, the World Service and CNN, and given talks around the world from Thompson Reuters in New York to the King Fahed Cultural Centre in Riyadh.
