I worked with Ian during a period of incredible challenges in my professional career. During our weekly sessions, Ian listened intently, probed for understanding, and offered useful suggestions, grounded and insightful advice. He provided invaluable help for me to rise up to my work and life challenges. I walked away from every session with new insights. I highly recommend Ian as an exceptional coach for personal and executive development!
I had the honor and privilege of having Ian as an executive coach. I have worked at technology companies for almost my entire career with sizes that ranged from 10 person start-ups to Fortune 5 companies.
As I rose up the career ladder, and not new to being an executive, I struggled with confidence, work/life balance and executive presence.
During our time working together, Ian provided me with insights, impactful advice and tactical activities I could use to improve on the areas I struggled with. We continuously worked on making small changes and reporting back on how they worked to find what felt right to me, but also worked towards an improved outcome.
Since working with Ian, I've been a happier and more effective executive and attribute much of my improvement to my time working with him. I would recommend every leader at every level who wants to improve to Ian. i could see how his guidance and expertise would have helped me at just about every point in my career as a leader.
Ian was my coach for a year from 2021 to 2022 and he was exceptional at guiding me to navigate complex situations I faced. He took his time to understand my background and my journey and provided unique perspectives when we discussed these situations. Ian was a compassionate coach and he really helped me to truly see myself and think through my priorities.
He was very easy to connect to – thanks to his vast experiences in multi-industries and multicultures. I especially appreciated the way he coached, by asking powerful questions, so that I could come to the conclusion myself. I still think about some of these questions in complex situations.
I work with senior leaders interested in developing their effectiveness to empower and enrich their teams and produce tangible results. As a certified coach, I can help you maintain the necessary behaviours to improve your leadership skills, remain relevant and inspire others.
I have coached over 400 leaders in various roles, from CEO to first-time managers. I help them understand how to effectively develop themselves and their organizations in today's volatile, uncertain and fast-paced world. Evidence on leadership shows that self-transforming mind form is crucial for the most influential leaders today. My training and experience help leaders develop their mind forms through polarity mapping, self-awareness, systems thinking and perspective-taking.
Previously, I held various positions, including IT Executive and VP of Development (software). After over 30 years of managing software development projects, I believe the world needs more effective leaders, and thus pursued coaching to address this need. I am a Professional Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation, with additional certifications enabling me to work with organizations and leaders focusing on adult development.
Still a geek at heart, I enjoy dabbling in technology! ;-)
I am an experienced senior executive and ICF certified coach with a global background, who is dedicated to helping executives thrive amidst complexity. To date, I have helped over 400 executives become more effective leaders.
I am married with one son and currently live in Montreal, where I like to take advantage of the cycle paths during the summer, because the winter is only perfect for hibernation! Still, the beauty of this multicultural, multilingual city more than compensate.
Prior to starting my coaching practice, I spent my career within the financial and technology industries, living and working in South Africa, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, the US, and Canada. I held numerous leadership roles in money management and global banks, as well as technology startups, and have a demonstrated track record of business development.
I am an acknowledged strategic thinker with a keen understanding of the complexities of the contemporary business world, where influence trumps authority, and almost every decision involves extensive perspective seeking and taking from multiple stakeholders. I now provide consulting and coaching services to technology, financial services, scientific, and consulting companies. I have a particular interest in helping CREATIVE leaders become profitable INNOVATORS.
Attaining long-term success involves focusing on what is within your control and sustaining an optimistic outlook. Moreover, in a world that is changing ever more rapidly- lifetime learning is a must. The only question is whether your learning journey can keep pace. I am convinced that with the right attitude and a little help, everyone can surf the wave of creative disruption.
I have post graduate degrees in economics and psychology. I am also certified in emotional intelligence, conscious business coaching, systems team coaching, and motivation.
