Miles Henson station director of 93.7 Express FM and and Director of The People Academy.

She Made Me Do It!

Miles is co-founder and Director of the global organisation ‘The People Academy’, an organisation that helps Leaders, Coaches, Manager’s and Teams become better at communicating with each other. Miles’ other passion is Radio and he is also Station Director of Express FM. He has worked in over 35 countries in 20 years, across diverse industries from elite sport to the corporate word and local government. Clients include the likes of BMW Group, The Co-operative, Alstom, Doosan, Virgin and John Lewis, and the United States Olympic Committee (Team USA). He also works with smaller organisations like Beaulieu Motor Museum and Fareham Borough Council. People Academy, whilst UK based, was chosen in 2013 as Lead consultants to the USA Olympic team to support their head coaches through the maze of working with and leading many different athletes from 84 sports in the run up to Rio 2016. Amongst many others, Miles has been working with the coaches from the USA women’s soccer team who have recently taken the world by storm winning the FIFA World Cup. He is also working with USA Cycling, Volleyball, Figure Skating, Snowboarding and Hockey to name a few. Miles also worked with Team Head Coaches for USA Winter Sports Coaches in the build up to the Winter Olympics in South Korea, and secured the contract to support Team USA with their people development up to the Tokyo games in 2020 and the next Winter Olympics in Beijing in 2022. He is jointly responsible for creating the ‘People Dimension’, a methodology which has been adopted by BMW Group and Team USA as their preferred way of looking at communication and behaviour through individuals. These include areas such as self-awareness, people acuity, agility and self-management. BMW Group adopted this approach, as a way of looking at the way leaders create a high performing team culture within their organisation. His professional career started with organisations such as Nat West, American Express and Friends Provident where he spent a number of years in Sales and National Sales Management related roles. He left ‘’Corporate life’’ to set up his Business in 1997 where his focus was on using what he had learnt over those 15 years of working with people and the challenges this brought in large organisations. Miles has also hosted the Business Show on Express FM for the last 10 years and took over the reigns as Station Director in 2017. He loves everything about Community Radio and is determined to put Express FM at the very top of Local Community Radio in the UK. Something they are very close to achieving.
