Ashley Bishop helps business owners become fitter, healthier and leaner for life

His story is powerful and resonates with many business leaders.

Ashley used to be a fat personal trainer!

Back in 2005, he set up his business with the goal of creating something that would give him the wealth to provide a great lifestyle for a future family and have the time to spend with them enjoying it!

His business became was very successful and gave him the wealth he had always wanted, however, he was struggling to keep up with the demands of his business, and family life. He had zero time to look after himself and before long he became 3.5 stone overweight, overwhelmed, regularly snapping at his wife and kids and missing out on life all whilst hiding behind a smile and baggy clothing!

He knew he had to change if he wanted to be successful in business and have the time to live life to its fullest. After several failed attempts to get back into shape and feel great he realised that, even with a small team of world-class experts, diet and exercise were not enough.

This led him on a journey where he discovered that lifelong results were not created from following a diet plan or forcing people to exercise but from focusing on habitual and behavioural changes. As a result, Ashley has created a new programme which includes diet and exercise, teamed up with these new techniques to transform your habits and behaviours to help you get more energy, feel lighter and be more confident in yourself and your abilities to be a leader.

Let me introduce you to Miguel De Sousa, once met never forgotten! Miguel is a bundle of energy that has a passion for helping people. He was born and lived most of his life in South Africa. He believes in living the UBUNTU way. A Zulu word that translates to "your growth is my growth".  

In this episode you will discover his journey, what drives him and most importantly his passion for helping people.

As Miguel says "It takes a village to raise a child or anyone for that matter. BigCause, my education project, is a "village" that allows me to live my purpose, which is to create environments and opportunities for people to grow. I do this unconditionally and with love"

His why is Tutoring with Heart

His Immutable Values are Nurture / Develop / Thrive

His How is TRUST
T-uition R-elationship U-nconditional S-ervice T-hrive

His primary service allows employees to opt-in for tuition in their salary exchange or employee benefits package.

Whether it is a staff member with children who requires additional assistance or an English-speaking staff member for whom English is not their first language, his tutors can provide a more comprehensive tutoring solution.

He also seek to assist international businesses operating in English-speaking markets. He provides professional business English training to teams, allowing them to gain confidence by being successful in their business dealings.

Moving is regarded as the third most traumatic experience for a family. Miguel's family relocated from South Africa to the UK in 2019, his son is yet to adjust to this new reality. He works with children of families to ensure that their education is undisrupted. Every step of this transition is assisted by his mentors and teen coaches.

Miguel understands that tutors are my most valuable resource. He challenges tutors to remember what inspired them to teach in the first place. He challenges tutors to see BigCause as a platform for them to niche in on their teaching style. His mission is to demonstrate to tutors how tutoring can become Plan A by empowering them to thrive with us and/or on their own.

Think of Miguel as bicycle training wheels for students and tutors; his vision is for them to lose those wheels and not only ride but fly!
