Tony Llewellyn is a specialist in interpersonal dynamics and the effectiveness of project teams.  Originally training as a surveyor, he has spent over thirty years working on major projects. As a partner in construction specialist Davis Langdon, he was responsible for the consulting and specialist services division of the firm. 

In 2011, Tony resigned as a director of AECOM to pursue an interest in leadership development and coaching project teams. He is a strong exponent of the need for teams to understand the complexity and to spend time planning how behaviors that will allow the team to work through periods of change and pressure.

Tony has developed a team coaching methodology based on his research into the overlapping fields of team performance, interpersonal dynamics, and sector-based work practices. This methodology, based around the concepts of alignment, engagement, and team resilience, is then adapted to suit the particular needs of a project team at various stages of the project cycle.
