The Alternative Board recognised by The Leaders Council of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

The Alternative Board was invited to lend insight into the role the company plays on The Leaders Council podcast

The Alternative Board (TAB) is celebrating after being recognised by The Leaders Council of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Chaired by former Home Secretary and Education Secretary, Lord Blunkett, The Leaders Council brings together the most influential figures from across the country

Ed Reid, managing director of the TAB – the world’s largest small-to-medium (SME) peer-to-peer supporting and business coaching franchise – was recently interviewed for The Leaders Council podcast by host Scott Challinor.

Lord Blunkett says about the podcast: “If you want to learn about an industry, listen to the leaders who live and breathe it. These conversations are critical for understanding how this country works.”

During the 20-minute interview, Ed provides insight into the TAB franchise, beginning with an overview of the company’s purpose: He says: “We exist to support leaders of SMEs. We recognise that running your own business can be a really lonely place. It’s often difficult to reach out for support because you feel you ought to know all the answers because it is your own business.  The reality is you can’t expect to know all the answers; no one can.”

Scott also goes on to ask Ed a series of questions about leadership and the role it has played in his career to date.

He adds: “Hosting a show like this, where you speak to genuine leaders who have been there and done it, either on a national stage or within a crucial industry sector, is an absolute honour.”
