Todd Warner

Todd has worked globally with Executives from multiple sectors seeking to transform their companies for almost 20 years. He started Like Minds Advisory (LMA) because organizations need to bridge the gap between the vision held by senior leaders, and what people actually do, day-to- day. LMA was founded with a view that organization’s current approaches to learning and leadership development are stuck, and need an infusion of different thinking. Todd has worked around the world, having lived on three continents, and has worked in every imaginable industry. Over his career, Todd has worked in the boutique Executive Development space, leading Learning and Leadership Development for BHP Billiton -- a Fortune 50 company, and sitting on the Executive Committee for the top-rated leadership development company in the world, based on rankings by the Financial Times and Fortune Magazine. Todd's expertise in Learning and Leadership Development has been recognized by awards and publications across the world. Todd’s roots are in leadership development and learning, having designed, and taught leadership development programs for companies as varied as ArcelorMittal, Royal Dutch Shell, Anglo American, Barclaycard, Nokia, Honeywell, and PricewaterhouseCoopers. He has led focused senior-executive work with Merck, ING, Ericsson, Citibank, Westpac, and Unilever, and major culture change initiatives at Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Anglo Platinum and Balfour Beatty. He has also taught for a number of academic institutions, including Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business, and Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business. He has deep expertise in cultural transformation, experiential learning, and building leader-led capability for organizational leaders to "do it themselves". His approaches regularly leverage his view that organizations “teach” things all the time, they’re just not deliberate about what they’re teaching their people. His focus on the role modelling of senior leaders, shaping functional processes as teaching tools, and focusing on local routines to shift where people focus, demonstrates that learning can be much more than a program. Recognized for his design and delivery expertise, Todd’s thinking has been published in Harvard Business Review, Change This!, CLO Magazine, The Financial Times, and The Wall Street Journal.
