Geoffrey Abbott Phd Email & Phone Number

I am an experienced coach, mentor, and educator in leadership development across a variety of organisations, sectors, and countries. My passion is igniting energy in individuals, teams and organisations through conversations and processes of deep change. Assisting people to coach others is a focus of my work. I see a coaching mindset as critical in achieving impact in times of rapid change. I am skilled at helping people work across cultures of different kinds - national, organisational, community, etc.I love facilitating rich conversations that dig into and gain energy from the paradoxes of team and organisation life. I believe that people who disagree vehemently about things that matter have a duty to listen and engage - and work against our natural instinct to polarize. I work with clients to craft approaches grounded in values. I have a track record in working with individuals and teams to promote individual and collective insight that supports deeper and richer conversations about objectives that matter. I developed the ceFIRE intentional coaching methodology that is designed for messy contexts. ceFIRE is distinctive in placing values, relationships, and purpose at the core of the coaching approach. It is grounded in a variety of practices and theories that work in the real world. In addition to executive coaching, my recent organisational roles include - Director of Leadership Coaching at the Graduate School of Business at QUT in Brisbane, developing and delivering advanced programs in leadership coaching and providing corporate education to companies. - Field Mentor for Ford Motor Company's global Consumer Experience Movement in Australia NZ - managing a team of coaches across AustraliaNZ - Senior executive in strategic and corporate planning for SBS Broadcasting Australia.I have various professional interests across leadership development, complex systems and executive coaching. I am co-editor of The Routledge Companion to International Business Coaching (Moral and Abbott, 2011). I've authored articles in the field of cross cultural coaching - and coach in that field. I live in Australia and am active internationally including in Latin America.
