Peformance Coaching But here's the thing...  Becoming a great engineer and project manager or any other skilled professional takes time, focus, and a lot of mental clarity.  What is missing is what they don't have time to teach you about other people.  Communication.  Collaboration.  Cooperation.  Sounds familiar, right?  But for some of us, these things do not necessarily come naturally, and they are important skills that we need to fully develop as professionals and leaders. Whilst we can learn to become technically proficient, we can overlook the value of self-awareness, and how to relate better to others. Don't despair - there is a good reason why engineers and professionals are good at what they do - and thank goodness for those skills and attention to detail.  What Tony has discovered is the importance of continued self development, particularly in the areas of relational skills, leadership skills, and team building.  The journey to becoming a better leader, and the path to better understanding your own personality is important both for personal and professional growth.   Tony specializes in coaching professional men and women who want to identify what is holding them back. When we learn to understand our own personality, we can then learn to relate better to others. Tony loves the challenge to help someone make the transformation into a more successful version of themselves. Whether the change you are seeking is to achieve greater professional development, or just simply personal growth, Tony has the skills and the coaching experience to help you overcome those challenges that are holding you back. If you want to take your leadership and management skills to the next level, then now is the time to find a professional and performance coach who understands the pathway from technical mastery to the next level of leadership and management potential.
