This is my first professionally published book (thanks to 10-10-10 publications NYC)

Entitled Battlefield2Boardroom – 10 Proven Military Strategies to Combat Mediocrity

Ever since I began working as a professional keynote speaker, people began to ask me “Have you written a book” and for a few years, I didn’t take the hint!

Then in late 2014, I had a real scare – I almost became blind!  I was rushed to the hospital and received emergency surgery to replace a detached retina, and as part of the recovery, I needed to completely rest both my eyes…..for 6 weeks!

Blindfolded, with no access to TV, or the internet, I set about writing my book!  (Well, I actually used a dictaphone to speak all that I wanted to share, and later had it transposed from audio to print!)

As soon as I started, everything began to flow.  and before I knew it, 10 chapters were laid out.  I’ve tried to ensure that whilst the book remains an ‘easy read’ it guides the reader through some of the considerations on how to Find, Build, Motivate Highly Effective Teams, and get them to over perform like never before!

Using 12 years successful Military Experience as my backdrop. I’ve successfully either bought, acquired or set up 4 of my own businesses, as well as coach/mentor countless other business leaders, and now sit on the Exec Board for a rapid growth Tech Business as Chief People’s Officer!

I’ve shared lots regarding how I’ve successfully used my military training to succeed in business. By applying these 10 proven military tactics, you too can overcome any aspect of mediocrity and build a team of hard working, target orientated team to achieve the most incredible results.

The book also has its own website!  Where you can access a whole host of other related resources.

I sincerely hope you enjoy the read, which can be sourced either as a Kindle E-Book, or Amazon as a printed copy.

A little snippet of some of my achievements:

Terence Alan said…

I’ve just finished hearing Jay Allen deliver his Get Big or Go Home speech at the London ExCel Arena.

Deposit more than you Debit into the emotional bank balance

REALLY spoke to me and my business right now. I’m going to develop a game called U.N. Bingo as a result of Jay’s last slide, it really did make me think. We think we’re doing good in our business but are we really doing good? I love the suggestion of unlimited holidays – but can we really do that?…

Jay Allen has me in tears, and he had hardly begun

I only wish I’d met and listened to Jay 20 years ago.  Within minutes of walking onto stage I knew he had been sent to speak to me!  Every word he said resonated SO much with me right now, I was in tears as I realised all the errors I’ve been making within my business! He even stopped and offered me his handkerchief. By the end of the presentation he received an ovation, as EVERYONE in the auditorium recognised how much he had borne his soul as he shared his own harrowing journey to show us how silver linings are in the centre of every grey cloud. – Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Managing Director

John Turnbull said…

Just completed the GET BIG or Go Home Masterclass with Jay. “I loved it” – The final UN slide really resonated with me. We are a Social Communications company but I think we need to think bigger on how we impact some of the significant challenges facing the world. – Jay was engaging, very well prepared and willing to provide the help and support, tailoring his content to each person on the course, exceptional.

Managing Director

D.Torrington said…

Jay recently spoke at an event I hosted as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week. His speech immediately captured the audience, as he carefully guided them on a journey of self discovery. It was truly an amazing presentation, filled with emotion, enthusiasm and MANY easy to use ‘take aways’ for us to implement. He gave an ‘above and beyond presentation from start to finish and the effect he had on everyone present was almost hypnotic, enabling people to realise their own goals, current hurdles and most importantly how to smash through them to achieve.

Doing Business for Yourself

MOD said…

Allen is as motivating on stage and he was motivated to succeed within my Regiment. He has intrinsically linked the success we shared in Bosnia & Kosovo, with the success he is now demonstrating within his own business. Having recently presented his ‘Battlefield2Boardroom’ speech to both Junior Officers & Senior Non-Commissioned Officers as part of a resettlement conference, his understanding and humorous interpretation of transferable and non-transferable skills was the highlight of the entire event – Well done
