Who are you and what is your purpose?

I’m Jordan Groves, and I head up our education team here at Baltimore Consulting. As well as managing our ever growing education service with our consultants working acorss the division, nationwide, I also specialise in placing senior education professionals within local authorities based across London and Home Counties.

What has been your greatest achievement (personal or professional)?

My biggest achievement professionally has to be my career progression. I started with Baltimore Consulting as a Recruitment Consultant within our education division back in 2016. Fast forward 7 years, and I’m now heading up the team! It hasn’t been an easy road, but passion and drive has led me here and this is something I am incredibly proud of.

Personally, my greatest achievement was becoming a father to my beautiful baby girl!

What advice would you give other leaders out there?

Be open but always be honest. It’s so important to understand that everyone you manage likes to be managed differently, it’s not one size fits all when it comes to leadership and coaching.

Who inspires you? And why?

I love a rags to riches example, and I’m so inspired by Jay Z – he’s come from nothing, built and grown a business and is one of the most successful men in hip hop across the world. I’m also inspired by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, not only from a fitness perspective (goals), but his business acumen is incredibly impressive – he has his fingers in all the pies!

Favourite Food

Chicken, in any form, and pizza! There was also that time I thought I could have a legitimate crisp addiction…

What’s your leadership superpower?

I think my leadership superpower is my ability to build relationships with everyone. That feeds across the team and people buy into that.
