Brian Ballantyne – A Safe and Courageous Space

Brian is currently working towards his executive coaching qualification (ILM level 7) and certification (EMCC). Brian is already coaching Directors and Managers on navigating a new corporate culture, onboarding successfully, moving to a new country, bouncing back after redundancy, and leading complex teams.

Having experienced coaching himself several times over the past decade, Brian deeply believes in the benefits of experiencing a safe (confidential and supportive) and courageous (challenging and exploratory) space, where you can speak your thoughts aloud with a thinking partner, who can share what they notice about your words, body language and energy, support you in exploring options, challenge any limiting beliefs, and hold you accountable on actions to learn and move forward.

Brian has over 20 years’ experience working in European and American tech corporations, across roles in Commercial Finance, Product / Program Management, Procurement, Marketing and HR. He is a co-founder of Men for Inclusion, sits on the board of Women in Digital Empowerment, and wrote a book Confessions of a Working Father, to encourage more men to lean-in as engaged caregivers. He is exploring coaching as a possible future career option, and to make him a better people leader.
