Brian Helweg-Larsen
| Founder & Director
Brian is of Danish descent and started life in the Bahamas and Jamaica where his parents wrote books and sold European antiques to American tourists. Still following? He studied Zoology at Oxford and then worked with Tony Buzan teaching thinking and learning techniques.
He began designing simulation-based training in the 1980s. He has worked worldwide with a wide range of multinationals and business schools, designing and delivering training on business acumen, change, teamwork and leadership. He is still involved in PBS as a Director, shareholder and learning consultant.
He claims to be a “language nut”, whatever that is. He speaks French and Spanish fluently and variously incompetent Afrikaans, Esperanto, German, Hindi, Mandarin and Zulu. He is also a published author on the topic of business finance.
He is married to Sarah. Together they have 3 children and 4 grandchildren. He plays an electronic clarinet and loves yoga, sun, sailing, diving and, weirdly, bell-ringing.
