A graduate of the London School of Economics and Oxford University, Adrian has lectured widely at the UK’s top universities and has held scholarships and visiting professorships at many of the world’s elite learning institutions, including the University of Hong Kong, Henley Management College and the Norwegian School of Management.

As a consultant to many major international companies, Adrian specializes in team development; management change; performance management systems; psychometric testing and leadership derailment.

With vast amounts of publications under his belt, including newspaper columns for the Financial Times, Sunday Times and Daily Telegraph, Adrian expounds his knowledge in over 1000 scientific papers and 70 books including 'The Psychology of Behaviour at Work' (1997), 'The Psychology of Money' (1998), 'The Psychology of Culture Shock' (2001), ' The Elephant in the Boardroom: The Psychology of Leadership Derailment' (2010), 'Body Language in Business'  (2010), and 'The Engaging Manager' (2012).  Many have been translated into foreign languages including Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Portuguese, and Spanish.
