WILF ARCHER PhD Chartered MCIPD CMIOSH MPNLP

(Health & Safety – Competent Person)

Wilf Archer is a Risk Management Coach working with individuals, therapists, coaches, small businesses and large corporate organisations, providing them with the tools, techniques, tactics and strategies to make informed judgements rather than reckless decisions.  By assessing and evaluating the risks they are likely to face, Wilf helps his clients manage their progress and puts the odds of success in their favour. 

From a very young age, Wilf has had an insatiable desire to know how everything worked.  Never satisfied with the simple response, he would dismantle everything he could get his hands on, intricately examining the parts before reassembling them again.  It was inevitable that he would grow up to be an engineer.  He served his apprenticeship as an aircraft engine technician and his curiosity was soon put to good use within accident investigation and fault analysis, picking through damaged components, looking for some engineering or system cause.  However, it used to rankle on the occasions when none could be found and the resulting report stated ‘Pilot Error’.  Thus began his lifelong pursuit of ways to improve human reliability. At 24 he became the youngest engineering lecturer in Scottish adult education, at 33 he was training trainers for the Manpower Services Commission and at 40 he established and managed a ‘Centre of Excellence’ in Occupational Safety and Health, all the time studying and amassing both traditional and non-traditional qualifications and experiences to quench his thirst for understanding.   

His academic qualifications from several UK Universities and colleges span through many disciplines, culminating in a PhD for his work in engineering in the learning environment. His Knowledge, Skills and Experiences have been forged from an eclectic blend of Education, Systems Engineering, Occupational Health and Safety, Training and Development, Corporate Stress Management and Complementary Health. 

Already a Master Practitioner of NLP, Wilf began studying the Ancient Arts, Reiki, Meridian Therapies, Hypnosis, Energy Psychology, Belief Systems, Nutrition, Phytotherapy, Anatomy, Physiology and Health.  A respected academic, competent therapist and coach his credentials include:
