For nearly four decades, Richard Cairns' professional life has embraced the idea that quality people are the essential asset to quality of organisational performance.

His 27 year professional career as a soldier included combat service in the Vietnam War, command of a multi-national UN peacekeeping station in the Middle East and exchange service with allied armies. These experiences forged an acute appreciation for a valued professional and organisational ethos.

For the past 12 years Richard has demonstrated his forte in the training and development of people through the design and delivery of ethics based programmes to better individual and organisational behaviour.

Training Workshops are often appropriate for developing specific skills, attributes and knowledge.

PHILOSOPHY

Premier Personnel Development's philosophy is founded on the belief that personal values underscore attitude, influences motive and in turn is manifested in behaviour.
