Our Trainers - Their Real Life Experience…
Edward Nathan, CEO & Lead Trainer Leadership and Management, Business, Hospitality
“I am most proud of our training and support for marginalised community members,” Edward Nathan.
Attitude: Edward loves to see his trainees develop practical skills to assist them in their management positions. His trainees see him not just a teacher, but as a mentor and life coach.
Past and Present Lives: From training at a gold mine in Irian Jaya to managing an elite hotel for Exxon in Malaysia to opening a fusion restaurant in the Blue Mountains, Edward’s career has taken him around the world and back again. He loves Canberra and confidently assigns Australia the title of “best country in the world.” (Edward and Australia adopted each other about 30 years back.) Edward has learned perspicacious management skills from industry experts he has worked with at multi-nationals such as Pepsico, Exxon and P&O. He has stories to keep you riveted to your seat, providing lots of insight for your own career. (Edward is responsible for keeping more than a few people from career blunders.) It’s not to be overlooked that in his heart of hearts Edward is an entrepreneur who has previously owned other businesses and even opened a successful international culinary school. JCE Positive Outcomes is his own pride and joy, building it from scratch 21 years ago.
Real Life: Edward boasts three grown children who are just really good human beings. He thoroughly enjoys cooking his mamma’s recipes for them. He also relishes accompanying his youngest to tennis tournaments. With a recent empty nest, Edward’s dream for the near future is establishing a community charity restaurant. He also wants to develop a bush retreat center and spend more time working with the First Australians.
