“Somebody said that we are thrown into life without a handbook, well Ian, through ITS, has written one. I have had clients say that I have made it possible for them to live their dream, or, even, that I saved their life – in fact, I was merely the conduit. I am merely standing on the shoulders of giants, and those giants are Ian, his cadre of world-class facilitators and ITS as an organisation of outstanding integrity and calibre. Thank you.”
Paul Miller – Director of the Ludic Group Global Coaching Faculty
Meet ITS Founder, Ian McDermott
Im a thought leader with a global reputation who was asked to leave school at 16. Im insightful because I needed to figure out what was going on in the family I grew up in. Im an advisor to CEO’s who started out as the manager of a dry cleaning shop. Im clear about what it is to start from nothing and gradually find your way. Im the founder of a successful business – which only matters because it lets me be in service of something much bigger than myself. Im on a mission to give people the tools that make change, success and fulfilment possible. Im Ian McDermott.
