Ian Sanders

Ian Sanders has built an unconventional career out of following his curiosity and sharing what he’s learned along the way. This journey of discovery has opened all kinds of unexpected doors including working for BBC local radio while still a teenager; launching a marketing business by accident and running ad campaigns for Benetton; writing about work and business for The Financial Times; training BBC journalists about storytelling; working backstage for the digital media team at The World Economic Forum in Davos; giving talks at various events including South By South West Interactive in Austin, Texas and The Do Lectures; running workshops for organisations such as General Assembly, Ericsson and Microsoft; leading urban-walk coaching sessions; being managing director of a radio studio business; and co-managing a band. Throughout his professional life, Ian has experimented with life-enhancing habits and hacks. It’s resulted in two decades’ worth of conversations, detours and journals. A self-confessed ‘work-in-progress’ Ian’s always been open about his own struggles and difficult days, and his decision to build more good ones. And now, whether it’s working with teams in global organisations or with a founder who’s just getting started, Ian aims to spark change. With 365 Ways to Have a Good Day, he hopes to inspire people to spark change in their own lives, and to get more out of every day. Ian lives in Leigh-on-Sea with his wife, two teenage sons and their border terrier and can often be found swimming in the sea. This is his fifth book. Check out Ian's blog: iansanders.com/blog
