Will Carnegie

Over the last nine years Will has delivered numerous leadership, management and team development workshops both nationally and internationally. He is a charismatic facilitator and trainer who enthuses delegates with his passion for the privilege of leadership and the power of teamwork.

Will was born and educated in Jersey and following a spell as an Officer in the Royal Navy, at just 27 years old, he led a team of amateur sailors around the world over 10 months whilst competing in the only yacht race to circumnavigate against the prevailing winds and currents (BT Global Challenge). Will’s leadership skills were tested to the full when his yacht was hit by a freak wave of the coast of Australia, nearly killing two of the crew. What happened next is a tale of sheer determination and team effort and was reported in the press as “One of the truly outstanding achievements of this leg”*.

On completing the BT Global Challenge in 2001 Will capitalised on his practical experiences and as one of the founding Directors of Mission Performance he began designing and delivering leadership and team development programmes. Will and his family are now resident in jersey and he works independently across the UK for a number of respected training and development organisations. He is valued for bringing colour to the theory by drawing on the many experiences he has gained leading and working with teams in both business and sport. He is also a member of the tutoring team at Highlands Business College Jersey where he has been delivering modules of the Chartered Management Institute’s Diploma in Management.

Will’s style of facilitation is best described as flexible and practical. As a skilled trainer, he is able to help individuals and teams increase their personal effectiveness through the use of practical experiences and established theories. These include Situational Leadership II TM and TMS profiling tools (Team Management Systems), the Belbin profiling tool and the SDi (Strength Deployment Inventory) tool.
