and watching them apply their knowledge to gain results which surpass their own expectations,
is perhaps the most rewarding work of all." |

Vince's broad experience as a consultant, business owner, expedition leader, manager, employer, facilitator, wilderness therapist, parent, mediator and trainer has enabled him to engage with the dynamics of a huge variety of organisational and group contexts. This enables him to rapidly help to interpret a client's situation and context while being able to offer perspectives and options drawn from direct, personal experience.
Coaching is always a challenging process that aims to help clients grow individually and supports them to achieve even better results through their people. By rapidly establishing rapport, trust and empathy, Vince challenges clients to maintain an internal 'Locus of Control' which is focused directly on their concerns, influence and objectives.
As a 'process facilitator' Vince creates a 'safe space' for groups to have the conversations they need to have. Whether stakeholders are internal, or external, enabling dialogue to flow in a respectful, outcomes focused process where disparate perspectives can be heard and understood, Vince works toward creating an aligned, shared understanding of the current situation before embarking on the journey of defining goals and creating strategy.
Through process facilitation Vince has supported many organisations to:
Develop strategy where the engagement and alignment is built-in before the document is written. Ownership and commitment lead to effortless implementation.Resolve legacy disputes and ingrained adversarialism to define more collaborative ways of working together.Define behavioural expectations for key stakeholder groups in project delivery.Analyse and define organisational culture in the pursuit of road blocks, de-motivators, toxic relationships, and conflicting objectives to enable the 'Conscious Creation of Culture' in the future.Support the clarification and definition of 'Organisational Vision and Values' to define the road map for 'Consciously Creating Culture'. Vincent is an exceptional presenter who thrives on controversial subject matter and dealing with interpersonal, team and leadership issues. He believes that experiential learning, often utilising natural elements to further embed outcomes, is one of the most powerful strategies for changing attitudes and influencing culture. His enthusiasm in this field is often infectious and he can set most people's concerns to rest.
His open-minded approach to new projects and willingness to share his enthusiasm in a friendly and relaxed manner allows him to establish rapport with both participants and co-workers easily.
Often referred to as dry and objective, he strives to ensure that all options and views are heard and considered. This allows him to be an effective arbiter in the event of controversy.
