TEAMSHIP INFUSED LEADERSHIP

I am a father of two amazing young women, a near & far traveller, a food aficionado, a quantum energy seeker, and a genuine friend. Giving back and striving to leave the world better than when I arrived keeps me inspired and motivated. Years ago, my wife and I traveled and lived in Africa and Asia for four years where extraordinary experiences and remarkable personal encounters profoundly shaped who I am today.
I worked in hi-tech sales, marketing, and business development for over thirty years while enjoying the successes and challenges the work brought me. I gained insights and perspectives about what worked and what didn't, and became more curious why people chose to behave in certain ways. My career led to long hours and many days away from home and family. It took many years before I developed an appreciation of what really mattered in my life and how easy I had fallen into limiting behaviors and patterns.
Over time, a slow deepening sense of self awareness allowed me to see myself in the challenges others were facing. This realization opened a door to being a trusted advisor and confidant to people from a wide variety of business and private circles. Listening to my inner senses, I eventually came to appreciate that the decisions we make about important choices in our life are intrinsically not as important as the space we are in when we make those decisions. Being present in the moment allows for so much more.
After the loss of my best friend and life partner, I struggled to find solace and meaning in my life. I was feeling the pressure to remain stable for my daughters while focusing on how I would adjust to some unknown version of my altered life. Eventually, I allowed an inner reorganization to occur and new outcomes to unfold. I fully recognized, then embraced, internal and external obstacles that were impeding where my true passion was, and had always been.
BREAKOUTcx was reborn in 2020 - a new framework and approach to assist individuals, teams, and organizations harness their full potential to reach and exceed the goals they set out to achieve. Today the practice focuses almost exclusively on 'Teamship Infused Leadership', anchored by high performance team and executive leadership coaching.
As a member of the the International Coaching Federation (ICF) ICF Coach Certification credentialing, a Core Practitioner of ICF accredited Presence-Based® Coaching, a graduate of the Team Coaching Fundamentals Program, Team Coaching Certificate, and Team Coaching Diploma from the ICF and AC accredited Team Coaching Studio (TCS) in London UK, I work with clients and teams in primarily corporate and government hi-tech organizations.
In my capacity as a coach, I am committed to holding a unique, stimulating, and confidential space where teams and leaders feel safe and open to change. I spark boldness, increase awareness, and unleash the potential of individuals, teams, organizations, and society.
Leadership and Team coaching is about creating a space where individuals, leaders, and teams can open to emergent possibilities and potential. Coaching is not something that is done to or for the client; it is something that is done with the client that evolves into something emergent.
I make a deliberate commitment to coach at a high performance level. It requires time, humility, self-knowledge, empathy, and skill. Holding the space for the individual and team means suspending biases and staying neutral in the face of my client's perspectives, emotions, rising self-awareness, and commitment to growth.
My coaching approach builds upon world-class coaching models, training, and continuous learning from thought leaders in high-performing team and leadership coaching, neuroscience, psychology, organization behavior, change management, etc. My coaching philosophy and stance continue to develop, not only from growing experience, knowledge, and skills, but from being increasingly present to the unique nature of every individual and/or team I engage. This means hearing, seeing, and sensing what is happening above and below the water line, rather than deliberately looking for something.
