Following his years in the Royal Marines
he began his business career as a financial advisor. His entrepreneurial
skills soon revealed themselves as he developed his own company. Over
the last seventeen years he has been instrumental in establishing
several more companies and taking them from inception to extraordinary
high levels of turnover.
 Standing
ovations demonstrate how effectively Gerard inspires his audiences with
the penetrating insight and practical wisdom acquired through years of
active business development, corporate management, training and
interpersonal communications.
A renowned and widely enjoyed public speaker Gerard does not talk
only of ‘text book' theories. Whilst well educated in business
philosophies, he maintains that it is his practical, real-life
experiences that gives him that all-important edge over the
‘never-done-it-myself’ trainer. His personal view is that only true
experience combined with educational material can provide the all round
approach that enables one to be able to truly relate to, and help,
people and businesses solve their problems and improve their outlook. It
remains the case that Gerard still runs two international organisations,
managing over 4,000 people.
His unique training style and insight into business building
philosophies coupled with his boundless energy, makes him one of the
best of only a small number of professional consultants and peak
performance coaches who have actually done it themselves. Not only does
he travel the world developing and consulting with businesses and
individuals but also currently owns and runs two large businesses
himself. One of these he started in November 1995 and within 12 months
developed into an organisation of over 3,000 people working within 11
countries world-wide. He specialises in helping people to achieve peak
performance in everything they do. Although he covers a broad spectrum
of topics he specialises in helping and coaching individuals and
businesses using techniques incorporating accelerated learning skills.
Goal achievement, stress management, time management
and helping corporations to increase profits massively through
increased sales and personal performance are just a few of the areas
in which he works. His unique training and teaching has been proven
again and again to make a lasting difference. When working with
corporations and individuals Gerard’s mission is very simple - he will
be your guide on your quest to be all that you can be.
Gerard O'Donovan's skills have also been recognised by the Princes
Youth Business Trust, set up by Prince Charles. The PYBT
approached Gerard offering him a post as mentor. In this
challenging role, Gerard helps young people to produce a business plan,
seek funding and monitors progress, advising and steering each person in
the right direction. Gerard particularly enjoys this role and takes
pleasure in nurturing a new idea and watching it grow into a successful
business.
As the owner and C.E.O. of Noble Manhattan, a successful company that
wants to share its success with you, his motto is Fortune Favours the
Prepared Mind.
Gerard also helps people through individual life coaching, which is very
often done over the telephone following a personal interview. This
life-coaching programme is one that is achieving success in many
countries around the world.
PERSONAL BUSINESSES –
Past and Present
The largest, privately owned life assurance business. Operating
throughout the UK, this company had hundreds of consultants who, because
of their first class training were able to offer a service second to
none. The result of this was a company that had a turnover in excess of
£1 million and was the highest business producer for its associate
Insurance Company.
A legal services company, which brought a whole new concept to client
services. Offering an extensive home service, which at that time was
revolutionary it was received with gratitude and respect.
A large sales and distribution organisation throughout Europe and the
Far East, consisting of over 4,000 people.
His main business remains Noble Manhattan Personal and Corporate
Development. Complimenting perfectly his other business involvement
Noble Manhattan is used for the training and development of not only his
own companies but many, many others. Dealing with individuals and
businesses alike there is an extensive range of standard courses
continually operating, whilst many more are tailor-made for the
individual client.
