About Nathan
Nathan’s journey has been an unconventional one. He became passionate about personal transformation when volunteering for a youth development charity in his 20s. He was so enthralled by being in spaces where people were having genuine breakthroughs that he resigned from his IT job and set out on a voyage of discovery. He returned to the corporate world in 2012, using the insights he had gained with former prisoners in the jungles of Borneo. Since then, he has run Leadership Development programmes and Team Development work across the globe.
Nathan’s Areas of Expertise
Systemic consulting to shift culture and challenge norms
Deeply impactful residential leadership programmes
Long term team coaching to build and maintain trust, learning and performance
Coaching that goes beyond the "usual stuff"
Nathan says:
“From an impact point of view, the client work I am most proud of is where I have been working long term with an organisation; where the people I've worked with have become partners and even friends, rather than just ‘customers.’
Jaguar Land Rover would be my prime example, having worked with them for 5 years, at many different levels from the CEO and the top team to those far closer to the shop floor. Being part of that systemic transformation has been a great privilege.
On a personal satisfaction level, working with individuals in breakthrough moments, where an insight enables a genuine emotional response is always my greatest joy.”
What does Nathan bring especially to his work?
Nathan is a world class team coach with a capacious rucksack of activities, theories and practices that enable breakthrough performance in individuals and teams. Clients welcome the "humanness" that Nathan brings to his work, and they appreciate his ability to see connections between parts of a system. His psychological depth and understanding enable people to experience themselves and others differently, and his irreverent humour is as valuable as anything else he brings.
Client Impact
“I'd highly recommend Nathan as an experienced organisation development practitioner, coach, facilitator and leadership development specialist. Working at Board level, he brings edgy innovation, creativity and fresh ideas that push boundaries, whilst remaining sensitive to the organisation system, knowing that meeting the system where it's at is critical to gaining buy in and entry. A natural storyteller who can synthesize information quickly, making meaningful connections and turning that into insightful, actionable strategies. He's naturally curious, wanting to understand more deeply what's going on below the surface. As an authentically humanistic leader, he deeply cares for those he works in service of, quickly fostering an environment of trust, collaboration and growth. He also brings a playful approach to his work, and his energy and enthusiasm make working alongside him a real pleasure.” - Gill Morris, JLR
