I’m a Doctoral Practitioner graduate from the World Class DBA Business Economics
programme at University College Cork, where I was supervised by renowned Harvard
Professors Robert Kegan ret. (Head of Adult Professional Development) and
Eleanor Doyle (Co-Chair of Harvard Business School’s Knowledge Generation
Council and a member of the Harvard Hall of Fame). My significant academic and
practice credentials are further complemented by graduating from the Michael
Smurfit Graduate School of Business with an Advanced Management Post Graduate
Diploma in Advanced Business and Executive Coaching, an MBA from Newport, and
study in Adult Training and Continuing Education, Neuro Linguistics, Industrial
Relations, Negotiation, Management Accounting, and the Science and Practice of
Agriculture. I’m a consummate believer in learning-by- doing, experiential
knowledge and lifelong learning. I am a specialist in Next Generation Leadership
and Next Level Growth with significant doctoral training in Adult Mental
Development and Complexity and Self-Directed Learning. I update my framework
regularly by ongoing and lifelong learning through research and practice from
the World’s top Universities and Institutes of Technology, Harvard, MIT and
Wharton as my principle resources. My approach facilitates the connection of
CEO’s, business owners and leaders to individuals and groups in their
organisations to fulfil their collective potential to grow their businesses. I
achieve this by helping shape, evolve and embed highly collaborative ongoing
programmes of change and growth using organically conceived frameworks. I do
this by mapping out the psychological, social, and commercial goals that work to
achieve sustainable growth and preferred futures with individuals, groups and
leaders in their business pursuits. My work life has taken me on journeys to
four different continents and six different countries with an overarching
purpose to the commitment of sustainable business growth and prosperity. I’ve
led regional economic initiatives, turnarounds of multinationals, family
businesses, and small to medium enterprises. On this journey, I discovered a
world very different to the traditional world of business where power, position,
and coercive behaviour that I used to believe was how everyone conducted
themselves at work. I have combined my practical experience with learning
gleaned through academic study to develop conceptual frameworks that are
uniquely designed to understand business performance challenges. My work
explores the changes needed to connect leaders and owners to their business
potential and their best possible emerging future.
