About Veritas High Performance
Origin
Back when I was first looking for a coach, I quickly realised that the industry was highly saturated, with a low bar to entry, and minimal quality control.
With degrees in philosophy and psychology, leadership experience ranging from teams of 5 to teams of 200, I thought that I may be able to add some value. I used the next few years to develop an understanding (and qualifications) in coaching and slowly out of this, Veritas High Performance was born.
Having dealt with more than my fair share of adversity, I know that the person sitting opposite you needs to be credible, experienced and supportive. I set out to provide an executive coaching service that would bring together internationally recognised and assured qualifications, professional experience and a servant mindset. This is the bedrock upon which I support others on their leadership and resilience journeys.
Mission
My intent is to cultivate, support and enable those who are seeking to lead with purpose, enhance resilience and unlock their potential. The desired end state is motivated clients who are better able to serve their teams and deliver world class results (success). This is achieved through personal mastery.
Ethos
Veritas (truth in Latin) is at the heart of my ethos. The VHP logo is designed as a representation of the Spartan shield inverted to form a V where the truth can protect and safeguard the holder. Those brave enough to pursue the truth must possess courage, integrity and curiosity. Those strong enough to wield it demonstrate selflessness, resilience, confidence, competence and character.
My Core
Competencies
Everyone's journey towards personal mastery is unique and ongoing. There is no one size that fits all. But these seem like a pretty good starting point.
Have I mastered all of these? Absolutely not, but it's a work in progress.
The core competencies are more than a check list for me as a coach or you as a client. They are the foundations of how I perceive the world. They are a combination of stoic and taoist ideologies. They are an insight into what guides me as a man which should help you to decide if I am the right kind of crazy for you.
Executive Functions
The Executive Functions & Regulation Control are mental processes that enable us to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks successfully. These are developed throughout our childhood but can continue to be developed as adults. Understanding how your executive functions influence you will enable a greater knowledge of self and ultimately contribute to a more self aware and successful you.
