Welsh-born Martin John is a Procurement expert, trainer and speaker, now living in the south of England.
Across a 26-year career, he held senior management roles within Procurement and Supply Chain at leading global companies, such as Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Rexam Packaging and British American Tobacco.
His live online and in-person training courses see him impart his unique blend of technical expertise, focus on practical application, unparalleled engagement and strong sense of fun on his delegates.
Aside from Procurement topics, Martin's specialties are negotiation and persuasion, and he considers these essential skills for life, not just work.
Yet many people lack the confidence and knowledge to negotiate effectively and don't know how to hear "yes" more often through following scientifically proven influence techniques.
This is true for even some of the largest corporations with whom he works.
He teaches Procurement and Sales teams the tools and techniques to negotiate consciously and competently, getting better deals and leaving less value on the negotiating table.
As a Cialdini Certified Coach, Martin also teaches Dr Robert Cialdini's 7 Principles of Persuasion and crucially, how to practically apply them, helping others grow their influence to achieve greater business success.
Martin has five Procurement courses on the biggest business-learning platform in the world, LinkedIn Learning, plus courses on Udemy.com that have been taken by thousands of people all over the world. He's also delivered live training to companies across Europe, US, Australasia and the Middle East.
He is a public speaker and has appeared on several podcasts, including co-hosting the "Demystifying Procurement" podcast, where he and his fellow co-hosts cut through the jargon to help junior Procurement practitioners thrive.
Martin is an avid reader of all things negotiation and the application of behavioural science, and is a frequent LinkedIn contributor on these topics, sharing what he's learned, sprinkled liberally with his sense of humor.
He is married with 2 children, who, at the time of writing, stubbornly remain on the payroll. He loves keeping fit, horseracing, sailing, and he also plays the bass guitar (to a very mediocre standard).
At first glance, Hope's End seems like your typical suburban utopia. However, beneath the surface, a deadly secret lies; it is home to some of the foulest things to ever stalk our Earth. For years they have gathered in the shadows, preying on the unsuspecting populace of the town. Few know of their existence, even fewer are capable of stopping them.
The Switchers Guild is a century-old organization dedicated to bringing the fight to the creatures that lurk in the shadows. But they have long since passed their glory days and now operate with a skeleton staff and dwindling resources. Undermanned, underfunded, and fighting a war they cannot win, The Guild decides to abandon the citizens of Hope's End to their fate and magically seal off the town so that the evils within cannot escape.
Almost a decade later, The Switchers learn that something is brewing in Hope's End that could spell disaster not only for the town but potentially for the entire world as well. Out of desperation, a small ragtag team venture to the forgotten town knowing full well that once they enter, they will never be able to leave. Aware that the odds are against them they recruit, Noah Wild; an ex-cop, turned thief to their cause.
After surviving a chance encounter with a demon, Noah is thrust into a world of magic, monsters, mutants, and mayhem. Out of his depth, he quickly learns that the fate of the world may very well rest upon his inept shoulders. But there may still be hope, for the Switchers believe he has a talent, not even he is aware of.
