John Purkiss

When I learned to meditate in 1996, my intuition switched on like a searchlight. This enabled me to become an executive search consultant with Heidrick & Struggles. In 2002 my colleagues and I founded Purkiss&Company. I'm the co-author of 'Brand You', which is published by Pearson and available in five languages. The new book is about letting go. It starts with mindfulness and ends with surrender / enlightenment.

Education: economics degree (Cambridge University), MBA (INSEAD).

Languages: French, German and Spanish.
