Lanarkshire family firm shortlisted for a prestigious UK business award

Turning potential into real success

Businessnman giving back to community

James is the founder and managing director of The Power Within Training & Development, a family-run business and leadership development company based in Scotland UK. James-and-wife Enas Fleming set up the Power Within, to inspire people around the world to think bigger, be better and achieve more.

We strive to support the businesses of today to become the leaders of tomorrow. We do this by equipping business owners and leaders with the tools and knowledge to achieve their full potential. 

With over 20 years building and developing businesses, holding numerous senior leadership roles from the Middle East and Asia Regions, US, and the UK, with companies such as Baker Hughes, Halliburton, and Weatherford, James took the plunge to get out of the Oil field game for good and teach other how to grow a successful business using their award-winning Motivational Intelligence revolution.

Ask any business owner their top frustration and the answer will eventually boil down to one thing: their people. We know‚ because we ask this question every day to business owners across the UK who looking for solutions to their issues—and more often than not, their biggest struggle is getting out of their own way.

In their very short tenner, they have seen a dramatic increase in business growth and development. James’s vision, tenacity, and hyper-focus to always put the customer at the forefront of everything they do has enabled the company to pivot their products and service through this current pandemic to evolve, healthier, stronger, more focused, and hungrier than ever before.

James and his wife Enas are fully committed to giving back and helping their local communities via voluntary roles: 

•	Young Enterprise Scotland: Glasgow Chairperson and Business Adviser 
•	Children Panel for Scotland: Learning & Development Coordinator 
•	Children Panel for Scotland: Panel Member and Chairperson
•	MCR Pathways: Mentor for Young Adults
•	Probone Business Coaching: 5 clients per year who would otherwise not have access to

The Glasgow based company - run by couple James and Enas Fleming - has experienced significant growth in the past 18 months, despite the pandemic, and is now expanding the services it offers through a new division The Power Within Training UK Ltd.&nbsp; The new venture will be headed up by experienced entrepreneurs Beena Sharma and Jordan Ferguson who have extensive expertise in the oil &amp; gas and construction industries, with a particular focus on behavioural change and business growth. The company will deliver vital leadership, mindset and motivational tools to help businesses within the oil &amp; gas sector in particular, meet the leadership demands of navigating the global energy transition - a shift over the coming decades from an energy mix based on fossil fuels to one that produces zero carbon emissions, based on renewable energy sources. The original Power Within Training &amp; Development business was founded by married couple James and Enas in 2017 after they returned home from years of working abroad in corporate oil and gas careers. The company helps people and businesses excel by improving their motivation, self-belief, decision making and leadership skills through a ground-breaking approach called Motivational Intelligence. The business is the only recognised consultant outside of North America with the ability to deliver registered training in Motivational Intelligence and, most recently, James, Enas and their team introduced the world’s first SQA approved Executive Diploma in Leading with Motivational Intelligence. The new venture - The Power Within Training UK Ltd - will offer business leaders, and emerging leaders, extensive training in Motivational Intelligence to help them guide their business through the transition and fast-paced level of change within the energy sector. Many of the company’s existing courses will be offered as well as new, bespoke courses specific to the demands of the energy transition. Managing Director of the Power Within Training &amp; Development, James Fleming said: “This is a hugely exciting development for our business and one that will allow even more business leaders to access our transformational programmes and further their business success. “We are experiencing what is arguably the fastest and most challenging energy transition in history - to achieve this, businesses and their leaders will have to be equipped with the leadership, behavioural and motivational tools to drive their businesses forward during this time of great change. That is something that this new venture is perfectly placed to help them achieve.” New company Director Beena Sharma has a wealth of experience in various industries including oil &amp; gas, renewables, manufacturing, construction, cleantech and healthcare, with a clear focus on driving innovative approaches and supporting start-ups and business growth.&nbsp; Award-winning entrepreneur Beena Sharma said: “Over just a few decades, countries around the world are working to replace fossil fuels with zero-carbon energy from clean sources. Having the technology and infrastructure planning and implementation in place is one thing - but having the people development tools in place to help your leaders, and emerging leaders, thrive during this time is the missing piece of the jigsaw. We can help businesses and individuals ensure they have the essential skills to succeed in this global transition .” The new venture will also be headed by Director Jordan Ferguson who has over 14 years’ experience in senior positions across the energy and oil &amp; gas sectors within the UK, Europe and America. With a vast background in technical engineering and operations, he brings a unique set of skills to The Power Within Training UK and has joined the company to focus on growing and advising the business forward alongside the senior management team.&nbsp; Jordan Ferguson said: “This is a great opportunity to expand on the continued success and growth of the company by offering our unique and unrivalled programmes to a new market. The businesses we work with benefit hugely in terms of preparedness for the future, delivering dynamic change, equipping their management teams with vital leadership skills and most importantly, building their business success.” The Power Within Training &amp; Development operates from the company’s base in Glasgow and delivers its training across Scotland and the UK, as well as the US and the Middle East Region. The new venture, The Power Within Training UK Ltd, will be based in Aberdeen and will also have a global reach.

Scottish firm The Power Within Training and Development are trailblazing across the world with the launch of the World’s first SQA approved executive diploma in leading with motivational intelligence. The diploma takes learners through Nobel Prize-Winning research which is central to the success of the largest Fortune 500 companies and helps leaders and managers to understand how to completely transform their organisation’s cultures to that of a growth mindset.&nbsp; “In a world wrought with disruption, uncertainty and turbulence – a new level of leadership is required. Leaders today must understand how they engage teams – no matter if they’re virtual or in the office; know how to foster collaboration, unleash a partnership approach across their organisation and most of all how to help people adapt and grow in the dynamic world which is today” shares James Fleming, Managing Director of The Power Within.&nbsp; The executive diploma in leading with motivational is an award-winning programme that encompasses all aspects of becoming both a world-class strategic manager and inspirational leader who inspires their people daily. The programme has been rolled out in organisations such as Pfizer and Bank of America; and was initially developed by 2Logical the worlds leading training company, of who The Power Within are global partners.&nbsp; “We are exceptionally proud to be bringing to the world and UK market the first-ever accredited diploma in this vital tool of leading with motivational intelligence; we know ourselves the impact and power which MQ can make,” explains James.&nbsp; The executive diploma is for those organisation’s and businesses who desire the ability to give their leaders a higher level of insight into human nature and motivation drivers, whilst understanding what slows the adoption of change and exactly what they need to do as managers to unshackle the full human potential in their teams.&nbsp; Executive Vice President of 2logical David Naylor shares “As we have expanded our global reach, we have looked to find partners who have a deep understanding of their strategic markets and a strong reputation for delivering client results. We were impressed by the team at The Power Within and felt that they would represent 2logical well in the UK market.”&nbsp; It is clear in the UK market that those businesses and organisations who have adapted in the face of the adversity of trading in the last twelve months are seeing the difference in their output; unlocking the third and least common known form of human intelligence – MQ. The difference between those who see opportunity, and those who see challenges; those who find a way no matter what comes across their path – is their motivational intelligence.&nbsp; To register your interest or find out more visit www.thepowerwithintraining.com/mq or call The Power Within Training &amp; Development team on 0330 133 2975.  &nbsp;<blockquote>“We are exceptionally proud to be bringing to the world and UK market the first-ever accredited executive diploma in this vital tool of leading with motivational intelligence; we know ourselves the impact and power which MQ can make in the new world of leadership development” explains James.</blockquote>

Scottish firm leading the way in the world of Leadership 

A charity wants mentors to sign up and support its Young Scottish Talent programme. We talk to a pupil who has gone from being disengaged in class, to being tipped as a business leader of the future Entrepreneur James Fleming has been mentoring Jasmine Docherty Until a high-flying businessman stepped in to volunteer as her mentor, Jasmine Docherty was a surly student who was giving the proverbial two fingers to her school, its teachers and everything the establishment represented. Now entrepreneur James Fleming, who saw something of his younger self in teen Jasmine, has tipped her not only as a business leader of the future, but as someone whose acumen could take her to the senior ranks of his own company’s dynamic management team. Two years ago, Jasmine was a second-year pupil at St John Ogilvie High School in Hamilton. Lacking motivation and a sense of belonging within the school community, she was of the view that her teachers just didn’t get her. Despite being disengaged and seemingly uninterested, it was clear to her teachers that Jasmine was bright. Although she was frequently the ringleader when trouble broke out during a lesson, many of her fellow students would leave class without any of the knowledge the teacher had tried to impart. Unlike them, Jasmine had soaked it all up. Now she’s going places – and it’s not just down the corridor to be asked to explain to the deputy's head why she’d again disrupted class and been rude and cheeky to her teachers. Jasmine is tipped for the top Jasmine’s fortunes changed in 2019 when she was identified as a teenager with the potential to benefit from a match with a mentor through MCR Pathways – a Glasgow-based charity whose mentors bridge talent with opportunity and empower disadvantaged young people to unlock their potential. Explaining why the mentoring programme was so keen to involve Jasmine, pathways coordinator, Charmaine Falconer said: “Jasmine had the ability to make it seem like she wasn’t engaging in class, but then answer all the questions at the end. She is naturally clever and can get by without trying. So, imagine what she can achieve when she does try. “I told Jasmine we would find someone that was similar to her, who would ‘get’ her and show her there was a better way of doing things. We got to know and trust each other.” Hoping that an introduction might persuade her to follow an alternative path, Jasmine agreed to participate. In the process of finding a match, mentors and young people are asked a similar set of questions about their interests, their challenges, what they get from their school or work life, and what they want to take from their education or career. “Jas was in a bit of a bad place and was not thinking of the future. She was coming to school because her mum was telling her to,” continued Charmaine. “What I liked about James was he was focused enough, but not to the point of berating her. He treats everyone the same way. "He has the same tone for everyone, and I think that is really important for the kids. At this stage in high school, it is hard for a young person because they are in between being a child and a young adult. We are asking them to take responsibility, choose their career path options and where they want to go in life, but some teachers still talk to them like they’re a child.” When introduced to mentor James at induction, Jasmine admits her mentor was not how she’d imagined. “Charmaine told me he always wore power suits,” she said. “I thought he’d look like a teacher. But he is just the same as you and me.” The conversations shared by Jasmine and James – who is managing director of Lanarkshire-based leadership and development company, The Power Within Training – vary from jovial sparring over the fortunes of their rival football teams, to her flair for numbers, his ambitions for his business and family, and their dream holidays. James has been open with her about the brushes he had with the law in his youth, which led to appearances before the Children’s Panel, on which he now sits as a member, deciding what’s best for children and young people who need his help. “He told me all about that and how it wasn’t until the fourth year that he put in the effort and got good grades,” said Jasmine, who is herself now a 16-year-old fourth-year pupil. “Hearing that gave me motivation because I was not too far gone and was able to pull it back and change my path.” Jasmine’s teachers – some of whom did not know that she was part of the MCR Pathways programme – soon noticed a change in her. On one occasion, when the headteacher saw James arriving at school for his weekly, one-hour meeting with Jasmine, she went out of her way to thank him for the work he was doing with his young mentee – which had resulted in a significant shift in her attitude. “I thought that was really nice for James,” said Charmaine. “We are constantly telling our mentors how they are helping, but they do not see that part. Sometimes the mentor and young person will speak about school for only 15 or 20 minutes, so they [the mentor] do not get the broader picture about how they are progressing. "I really loved that James heard that from the headteacher. She wanted him to know that what he was doing was working. He was advising Jasmine, allowing her to make the decisions, not telling her what to do.” Before she arrives at an important decision, such as her subject choices, Jasmine always makes a point of mulling it over with James. She now has her sights set on a Modern Apprenticeship, which combines workplace training with in-school learning, in accountancy and business. With ambitions to start her own company, Jasmine said: “James always says I would be better not having a boss to tell me what to do. Having someone to talk to, a second opinion really helps. It’s like having a pal to turn to.” Although it’s the choice of the mentor and mentee whether they continue their contact when the young person moves on to further education, training or employment, Charmaine is convinced the fruitful partnership James and Jasmine have forged will live on long after she leaves school. “It’s amazing they have got this connection,” she said. “They were one of my very first matches and I’ve got a wee soft spot for them. It’s bittersweet. Because Jasmine is not dropping in to see me, I know that means that she is doing well. And that is just what we want.” James also believes he will remain in touch with Jasmine, who bears no resemblance to the young person he was introduced to two years ago. “When I first met her, I could hardly get a word out of her,” said James, who has launched and led successful business around the globe. “Her head was down all the time. Having a conversation with her was really tough. She had no confidence. I think she was just so disillusioned with school and regimental learning and didn’t enjoy it at all. She is a free-thinker and very ambitious. She felt that she was so different and couldn’t understand why she was getting into trouble. Everyone was against her. “After about six months, the head was up and she was looking forward to our meetings. We helped each other to set goals. She realised I was interested in her, and I gave a damn. It mattered to me that she had a vision in life and she wanted something to focus on. She realised this is not my job, something I had to do – I was doing it because I really wanted to help.” “Her head was down all the time. Having a conversation with her was really tough.

She realised I was interested in her, and I gave a damn. It mattered to me that she had a vision in life and she wanted something to focus on. She realised this is not my job, something I had to do – I was doing it because I really wanted to help.” “It was amazing – like watching your kid taking their first steps,” said James, 48, who insists all businesses and organisations should be giving back by devoting time to young people in the community who are struggling. “You feel so proud and you look at them with admiration when the penny has dropped, and they get it. I absolutely love to see people believing in themselves. “I can almost guarantee that young Jasmine is probably going to go on in life and do amazing things and potentially come and work for my company. She will go on and run her own business, or work in business development or business finance.&nbsp; She has all the qualities of an entrepreneur – a big vision and self-belief. She is a clever wee cookie who will go on to become a very successful businesswoman.” &nbsp; &nbsp;<blockquote>“I can almost guarantee that young Jasmine is probably going to go on in life and do amazing things and potentially come and work for my company.

The Power Within Training &amp; Development is the Motivational Intelligence company that is dedicated to helping businesses become more accountable, resilient, and capable of handling all challenges that they may encounter throughout their careers, no matter their complexity. Led by the husband-and-wife team, James and Enas Fleming, The Power Within’s team of motivational experts are on a mission to inspire people around the world to think bigger, be better, and achieve more. Founded by James and Enas Fleming, The Power Within Training &amp; Development is a unique motivational intelligence company that strives to inspire the world’s leaders of tomorrow. The firm supports modern businesses of all shapes and sizes, giving them the tools and knowledge to think bigger, be better, and do more. With their ground-breaking Motivational Intelligence formula, James, Enas, and their team of specialists and professionals are able to guide clients to greater self-confidence and self-belief, enabling them to achieve their true potential and thereupon live lives of fulfilment, happiness, and success. Motivational Intelligence (or MQ) is the third level of intelligence after intellectual and emotional intelligence and has the greatest impact on job performance and satisfaction. By channelling one’s own MQ, individuals are given the power to pursue personal and professional success. The Power Within’s unique formula has enabled the firm to grow its reputation for effective motivational services, and now has a clientele that spans Scotland, the UK, and reaches as far as Saudi Arabia and Dubai, thanks to the increased prevalence of digital learning over the last year. However, whilst MQ is the firm’s defining facet, without its people, The Power Within would not have seen its nationwide recognition spread at the rate it has done. The team is driven by four central philosophies: Be Courageous and ask the hard questions that instil courage in others; Never Stop Learning and always strive to be the best at what they do; Uncover Your Potential, and build strong relationships that are the foundation for personal evolution; and Be Yourself, acting always with integrity and transparency. The firm has therefore cultivated a supportive working environment that learns from its mistakes and grows together. Confident and consistent, energetic and inspirational, empathetic and, most importantly, fun, the team works together to help its clients bridge the gaps in their own self-belief systems to motivate them from where they are now to where they want to be. Each member of the team brings their own experience and insights to their projects, and Founder James is the only consultant outside of North America to deliver registered training in MQ to clients around the world. The Power Within is currently completing its bespoke Leading with Motivational Intelligence (MQ) Executive Diploma with a specific focus on leading through turbulent times, which will be a fully recognised and certified Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA) leadership course. The qualification comes at a time when businesses are facing great adversity in the face of the ongoing pandemic, giving them the resources to shape self-motivated leaders at any level in any organisation. Situated only ten miles south of Glasgow city centre, The Power Within thrives on Scotland’s entrepreneurial spirit, recognising that leadership and MQ training would not just resonate with businesses but individuals too.&nbsp; The firm therefore voluntarily works with a number of organisations within its community such as: Young Enterprise Scotland as the Glasgow Chairperson and Business Adviser. Children Panel for Scotland as a Learning &amp; Development Coordinator, Panel Member, and Chairperson. Mentor for MCR Pathways. Now, with the upsurge in online digital learning that has been brought about by the pandemic, The Power Within is able to look beyond Scotland and the UK, sharing its expertise globally at no extra cost.&nbsp; The firm has adapted its products and services so that it can continue supporting its clients through virtual mediums and as a result, has come up with an effective combination of Zoom training, online activities, and a ‘tribal minds’ mentality. New and existing clients alike have reported that the new digital learning experience has been a revolution on personal and professional levels. The digital learning platform and their new qualification is giving The Power Within’s clients the strength, resilience, and agility to continue thriving, even during unprecedented times such as these. Whatever the future may hold, James, Enas, and the team at the Power Within remain devoted to inspiring and motivating the leaders of tomorrow, helping them to define success on their terms and to achieve more than they ever thought they could. &nbsp; &nbsp;<blockquote>COVID forced us to invest in going digital, we invested everything we had and what an investment it turned out to be.</blockquote>
