David Knight (author & CEO)

David Knight (born 29 July, 1978 in South London) is an author, CEO, trainer and BBC Business commentator. He lived in Crofton Park before moving to Sidcup in Kent in 2000.

David Knight is probably best known for the creation of 60 minutes with... and The Eyes Closed experience CDs, which have received glowing feedback and praise from many in the field of psychotherapy.

Knight is the author of ''Yes! You can start your own business and is also the person behind the "Yes! You can" brand which includes other titles such as Yes! You can do public speaking''.

Knight's first book, ''Yes! You can start your own business'' was discussed in the Houses of Parliament and has been championed by Vince Cable, Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, as an excellent guide designed to help people start up in business. The book has been released as an audio CD in more than eight different languages and has been turned into an entrepreneur training event.

Knight was trained in Hypnosis by Paul McKenna and has trained with the founder of Neuro-linguistic programming, Richard Bandler. He has a regular column in the official journal for the national council of psychotherapists, in which he passes on business tips and advice. Although a university qualified coach and master practitioner in NLP himself, he is believed to rarely coach or train NLP since the success of his other business interests.

In late 2007 Knight launched 60minsTV, in which he interviews champions of business through to sporting legends. Each interview is later turned into a limited edition audio CD. Interviewees to date include Chris Woods, Julian Dicks, Nancy Kline and Sir Alan Sugar.
