Chris Mears

Chris Mears is a veteran of the Royal Air Force, having served for 37 years. During that time, he gained a Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Leadership and Management, Level 5 in Coaching and Mentoring, as well as three decades of experience managing and leading people in robust environments. He conducted a Master’s in Business Administration, which enabled him to think differently about his role in the RAF and his current work as a consultant. Chris dips in and out of work in the Middle East, where is has worked primarily for government-based organisations in the oil, gas, petroleum and aluminium sectors, and has taught on CMI Level 5 & 7 Leadership courses. He has also been involved in development programs, assessing future leaders. 

Having left the RAF 5 years ago, Chris wanted to better understand himself post-military life, opting to live alongside nature on a narrow boat. He has a YouTube channel documenting his journey on the canals. Throughout his life’s journey, he has always found pleasure in developing others to reach their potential.
