Philosophy

Sean’s philosophy is based on the belief that the most successful organizations are built through inspiring, empowering and leading the people who will ultimately shape them. His approach to professional and personal development has been influenced by a diversity of experiences both within and outside of the business world. Creating and delivering corporate training and managing the professional development of people, as well as many years of volunteering with underprivileged children, have allowed him to study the ways people develop at different stages of their lives. Tutoring grade school youths and helping high school students apply to college and prepare for the lifestyle change that accompanies it, honed his appreciation for the importance of helping people establish the right habits as building blocks for self-improvement. It also firmly ingrained in him the value of working one-on-one with a coach and what can be accomplished through such a relationship. A firm believer in a work/life balance, Sean has applied a holistic approach to his own career and to his roles as husband and father. Drawing from his personal experiences, he works with his clients to help them grow both as leaders and people, as they work towards achieving their individual goals. Trusted Business Advisors allows people to develop to their fullest potential – professionally and personally – to lead and excel in all areas of life.
