Dean Taylor is a Chartered Psychologist with over 16 years’ experience applying psychology in industry and the public sector. His key areas of expertise are Emotional Intelligence, Leadership assessment and development, and Team Development. He has an MSc in Applied Psychology from Cranfield University and is currently studying for a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology.
