Geoff’s passion is helping leaders, teams and organisations become better at leading in complexity. With over 20 years of experience working with leaders as a coach, consultant, facilitator, educator, and director of leadership development programmes, Geoff has supported leaders and specialists globally, at all levels, and for organisations ranging from New Zealand government to NGOs to startups to fortune 500 companies.
Geoff believes leadership is learnable, and that the conditions for leadership to emerge are co-created by individuals and organisations. Blending academic curiosity with an entrepreneurial and practice oriented mindset, Geoff supports leaders to explore new possibilities for how they think about and do leadership. The fields of complexity, adult development, systems thinking, experiential learning, and good old problem solving inform his pragmatic and applied approach to leadership development.
Before consulting, Geoff held people leadership and senior specialist roles, directed an international non-profit, served on boards and advisory committees, and was an international adventure guide.
Geoff earned his Ph.D. in Management from Victoria University of Wellington, and he holds a range of accreditations including Growth Edge Coaching and the Leadership Circle Profile.
Geoff has called New Zealand home for over a decade. He lives on the Kāpiti Coast, has a small family and is an avid adventurer.
