Mentoring

After working for the Qld Reds Rugby team as their personal & career development advisor I realised that even high achieving people could benefit from having someone walk beside them for a period of their life. I've developed a strengths-based approach of using your strengths to establish & pursue your goals in life and also identify personal challenges that may be barriers to that attainment in a non-judgemental way. Some people benefit from small behavioural or attitudinal shifts that lead to incredible changes in their life. Some people benefit from being held externally accountable to the standards they themselves set. A flexible program that is designed to meet your personal needs.

"Halfway through my degree I was fortunate enough to meet Jimmy. He played an instrumental role transforming my study habits, which drastically improved my grades. His casual but structured approach resonated with me. After an informal chat he established my strengths and weakness. Jimmy took the time to tailor a study routine that enabled me to prioritise and treat study with the same importance as a job. Thanks to Jimmy I would feel confident to approach study again." Zac

He also has the ability to impassionately observe action/s and interactions through daily activities and break through all the fluff and get to the point of a matter/s in order to create an environment that facilitates growth. That's a long and verbose way to say that he can turn 'complex webs' into 'simple solution focused outcomes'...The ideal mentor for teenagers, schools, young adults and elite sporting teams... Nick Leah ( High Performance Consultant)
