I fast track Procurement Professionals to Master their Soft Skills (EQ) and supercharge their Procurement Career.

Do any of these sound familiar?

• You love Procurement and have value to contribute, but you're finding it hard to deliver the impact that both you and your business deserve.
• You’re mentally worn out by the uphill battle to drive procurement compliance in your organisation
• You want to progress quickly in your procurement career, but can't see a route to the top

Imagine how it would feel to…

• Earn the appreciation of your stakeholders and recognition across your business as you drive value throughout your organisation.
• Enjoy the best aspects of your job. Be mentally resilient and able to 'switch off' outside of work hours.
• Gain new found confidence enabling pursuit of internal promotion opportunities or external job offers. Your reputation for successful delivery and positive business partnerships will precede you.

All of this is possible as a Procurement Pro, even if you've been stuck with the same frustrations for years or are already working in a senior role. And I can't wait to show you how...

About Tom Mills

In case we haven’t met, I’m Tom Mills, the author of Procure Bites, and recognised as the Procurement Protagonist on LinkedIn.

With over 11 years in Procurement roles and a similar period leading Buying and Purchasing functions across major food grocery, sports nutrition, fashion, catering, and financial services brands, I’ve honed a core set of Soft Skills that have set me apart and propelled my career forward.

A decade ago, I was tasked with transforming a Procurement team that was merely skirting around the edges of the organisation. They were:

• failing to deliver any value the business cared about
• unable to forge good stakeholder relationships
• deeply entrenched in old-school tactics
• displaying low application of emotional intelligence.

I came to realise that my success in driving Procurement transformation relied less on ‘what I knew’ and more on ‘how I communicated that knowledge effectively’. This transformation not only advanced my professional standing but bolstered my personal confidence.

Today, I feel equipped to tackle any Procurement role with confidence, even if I don’t perfectly match the job criteria.

Why? Because I’ve cultivated the soft skills – the self-awareness and emotional intelligence – needed to foster top-tier engagement and deliver game changing Procurement outcomes across any organisation.

<aside> 🙂 *“I will get the procurement aspects out of the way first. Tom clearly knows his subject inside out and this brings direct and tangible benefits to businesses.

He came into an organisation that needed guidance around procurement and immediately began to deliver by working out what worked and pulling, pushing, nudging, cajoling, influencing to make improvements. And he did all this in a constructive helpful way. Both within and outside the procurement discipline, Tom demonstrates soft skills a-plenty.

I fondly remember him chairing a ‘herding cats’ style meeting, remotely, never losing his temper, keeping things on track, untwisting gnarly points and taking us to a good conclusion. No mean feat! A strong communicator and influencer, Tom brings positivity, pragmatism and good sense to all interactions whether procurement-related or not”*
