Who is it for?

MOMENTUM is aimed at senior executives in large organisations, directors of medium sized companies and professional advisors. It's for people who have leadership responsibilities and are ambitious for their career and business. They constantly seek new ideas to give them a leading edge.

Our listeners are busy people. They have a 'guilt pile' in their offices of things they mean to get round to reading at some time and don't have time for DVDs, CD-Roms and links to web material. However - they commute to work every day and travel to meetings. This time in car, on the train or on the plane is time we can help them to be more productive by making it their learning time. They listen to MOMENTUM on the move.
