Sean has worked with executive directors and senior managers to understand, define, and realize their development goals that take into account their personal and organizational context. Having started out in Occupational Health (as a health psychologist focused on resilience and risk mitigation), he shifted his focus to understanding the ‘healthy company’ which led to his enduring interest in the intersect between the individual and the social system, and leadership as a social process over and above the personal attributes of the individual. He has designed and delivered Coaching programs for executive leadership teams that have centered around their strategy-into-action execution agendas, and has assisted functional leadership teams (e.g., Marketing, Sales, Supply, Finance) to deliver on their change impact initiatives within and across the organization. He has partnered with leadership teams to implement large scale change interventions (particularly those changes that are transformative), working in partnership with internal stakeholders and OD practitioners. His interest in high performance organizations meant that Sean has facilitated numerous multi-stakeholder strategy and business planning processes to instill within and across team goal alignment that is supported by execution principles, systems and practices (ways of working). He has partnered with clients to design their bespoke, client owned “learning & development” programs to address strategic capability and talent development requirements – and the more recent Covid-19 pivot to live online learning. Sean has delivered numerous group-based Leadership training events, both face-to-face and live online modules, across most of Center for Creative Leadership’s (CCL) leadership solutions. Sean has consulted on occupational health policy and risk mitigation programs, provided counselling services to patients and their healthcare teams, delivered leadership assessment interventions, and mentored internal organizational development practitioners.

Sean’s curiosity as well as his training in systems thinking, interest in whole system thinking.  He has worked across all key sectors, primarily with senior management teams. This experience has resulted in a deep understanding of the bigger context and larger system considerations that have required these clients/entities to seek assistance with the leadership and organizational implications of their business priorities and change agendas.
