ABOUT PETER FOGGIN
Peter Foggin
If you're leading a team or running an organisation, you probably know that culture and leadership challenges don't fix themselves.
I work with leadership teams in medium to large organisations as a consultant, mentor, and non-executive director. I've served as a non-executive director for a large UK manufacturing company and regularly mentor senior leadership teams across various industries.
Leadership Principles
My approach is grounded in principles I learned working alongside Stephen Covey when I established the Covey Leadership Centre UK.
Covey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" remains one of the most influential leadership books ever written, teaching millions of people worldwide how to build character-based leadership and achieve personal effectiveness. These foundational ideas about principle-centred leadership continue to be central to how I work with you today.
Outward Mindset Approach
I was mentored by Jim Ferrell, co-founder of the Arbinger Institute and author of Leadership and Self-Deception.
Working with Jim, I learned and then taught organisations across the UK and Europe about an outward mindset - the fundamental choice between seeing people as human beings or as objects.
When you and your team learn to consistently see others as people with their own needs, objectives, and challenges, it transforms how you solve problems together. This shift from self-focused to others-focused thinking is often the breakthrough that unlocks real cultural change in organisations.
Working with You
We start by sitting down together face-to-face. I want to understand what you're dealing with and get a sense of who you are. Once we know each other and you're comfortable with how I work, we'll have regular catch-ups - usually online - to keep things moving.
I've found that whether you're leading a production line or managing a sales team, the same human principles apply. Your people work better when they're trusted, when they understand their purpose, and when they're treated as individuals rather than resources.
The work is straightforward: as your experienced guide, I help you see situations more clearly and give you practical tools to address them effectively. Most problems resolve themselves when you understand the fundamentals and apply them consistently.
Writing
About a year ago, I started writing alongside my consulting work. I've published three books and am working on the Rekindle series - starting with "Rekindle Your Life" and "Rekindle Your Voice" (which tackles imposter syndrome). These books explore how the same principles that work in organizations can help you navigate personal challenges like career transitions and workplace setbacks.
PUBLICATIONS
Peter Foggin's Books: A Guide to Living with Resilience and Authentic Purpose
Drawing on decades of corporate leadership, personal setbacks, and hard-won wisdom, Peter Foggin's books offer practical guidance for anyone facing life's inevitable challenges. From financial collapse to career transitions, from relationship struggles to finding meaning in later life, his work provides clear-eyed, compassionate tools for building resilience and discovering your authentic path forward.
Whether you're navigating overwhelm (Present Tense), rebuilding after setbacks (Find Your Second Wind), exploring life's deeper questions through art and story (Reframed), or seeking to align your daily choices with your genuine values (Rekindle Your Life), Peter's writing speaks to the universal human experience of struggle, growth, and the ongoing work of creating a life worth living.
His upcoming Rekindle series will provide focused guidance for specific challenges—from imposter syndrome to burnout, from grief to midlife confusion—each offering practical steps for moving forward with greater clarity, courage, and self-respect.
The common thread: you already have what you need to solve your own problems and create meaningful change. These books simply help you access that inner strength and apply it skillfully to whatever challenges you're facing.
