LFYC | S3 E19 – Obi Abuchi interviews Kevin Bryant | The Power of Tai Chi for Stress Management

On this week’s Leading from Your Core Podcast and Vodcast, Obi Abuchi interviews Kevin Bryant.

In 2010, Kevin co-founded Educated Change, one of the most innovative consulting firms in the social

media arena, building close relationships with senior executives determined to enhance their firm's and

their own reputation. In 2016, Educated Change was named a Red Herring Top 100 Tech firm.

They recognised early in their growth that people don't want to connect with a corporate logo, they want

to engage authentically with people sharing a common interest, speciality, or cause. Selling is no longer

event-driven, it's a continuous conversation where trust, sharing, education - and even entertainment -

are the keys to capturing attention in our 'attention economy'.

His perspective on sales, relationship building, and change was honed during twenty years in banking,

encompassing all aspects from corporate lending to investment banking to retail. His last position was as

General Manager of BankBoston/Fleet Boston’s European operations. He was later President of a tanker

company owned by one of Greece’s leading shipping families. Kevin has proven experience in leading,

coaching and inspiring teams through change.

Kevin has also served on the boards of two public companies and the board of Babson College,

America’s leading private university in the field of entrepreneurship. As a student there, he played on two

NCAA National Champion soccer teams. He lectures on social media and social marketing at Brunel

University’s business school and has taught Tai Chi to hundreds at his Surrey and Brighton (UK), Tai Chi

schools.
