About me
Dominic began his career working at BP and at the time BP was going through a huge amount of change. This started Dominic’s interest in how organisations embrace change, which eventually led to Dominic moving into consulting with Arthur Andersen. It was whilst at Arthur Andersen that Dominic worked at the sharp end of change, helping companies to integrate and managing all of the complex projects at the bleeding edge of where the two companies slammed together - there was a great deal of fall out, a lot of fear, a lot of paralyses amongst teams and people not really knowing how they were going to be affected by change.
It was around this time that Dominic first came across some of the principles of coaching and he started applying some of these principles to conversations with the teams he was engaged with and he experiences a significant shift within them, away from fear and towards being engaged in the change. It was the very nature of inviting people to consider how they would be impacted and how they could

Helping organisations change momentum and create a coaching culture
About me
Dominic began his career working at BP and at the time BP was going through a huge amount of change. This started Dominic’s interest in how organisations embrace change, which eventually led to Dominic moving into consulting with Arthur Andersen. It was whilst at Arthur Andersen that Dominic worked at the sharp end of change, helping companies to integrate and managing all of the complex projects at the bleeding edge of where the two companies slammed together - there was a great deal of fall out, a lot of fear, a lot of paralyses amongst teams and people not really knowing how they were going to be affected by change.
It was around this time that Dominic first came across some of the principles of coaching and he started applying some of these principles to conversations with the teams he was engaged with and he experiences a significant shift within them, away from fear and towards being engaged in the change. It was the very nature of inviting people to consider how they would be impacted and how they could
