Geoff Thomas

I work across diverse industries, engaging with leaders at all levels to drive impactful change and achieve meaningful results. Drawing from my extensive experience as a senior leader and consultant, I bring a wealth of knowledge and insights gained from various internal and external roles. My journey spans across a wide spectrum of industries and organisations, including insurance and financial services, engineering, manufacturing, construction, FMCG, government, mining, hospitality, social services, police, and telecommunications, as well as professional services.

I'm known as a genuine and purpose-driven individual who brings passion, energy, and creativity to my consulting work with individuals and teams. I find immense joy and fulfillment in several key areas:

• Supporting individuals and teams in realising their chosen paths and aspirations,

• Developing leaders who empower others to pursue their chosen paths,

• Cultivating organisations where people feel a sense of belonging and fulfillment,

• Fostering the creation of sustainable organisations that address the needs of our world.

In my coaching and team facilitation roles, I wear multiple hats – acting as a champion, challenger, and cheerleader as needed. I believe in creating an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone feels valued and inspired to achieve their full potential. Together, we embark on a journey of growth, transformation, and purpose-driven leadership, shaping organisations that make a positive impact on the world.

I bring a diverse array of methodologies to my consulting, facilitation, and coaching practices. With qualifications in applied neuroscience and Humanistic coaching, I am passionate about using innovative methods that foster insight and drive action. One such method I employ is the Lego Serious Play methodology, which I find particularly effective when working with individuals and teams. In addition to my professional expertise, I am deeply committed to men's mental health and suicide prevention, bringing a keen focus on well-being to all my engagements. I leverage a range of diagnostic tools, including MBTI, DIC, LSI, TLC, Hogan Personality/Values, and LBA2, among others, to support individuals and teams in their growth and development journeys.

What drew me to LIW is their accessible and pragmatic approach to democratic leadership, which resonates deeply with my genuine and authentic nature. The team values at LIW align closely with my own, emphasising inclusivity, collaboration, and empowerment. LIW's innovative tools are instrumental in making leadership accessible and empowering leaders to take ownership of their development journey. By leveraging these pragmatic tools, leaders can drive meaningful change and foster a culture of leadership.

Participants often describe my facilitation and coaching style as genuine, empathetic, and dynamic. I strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment where learners feel empowered to challenge their thinking and stretch their behaviors. I have been described as a purpose-driven individual, who brings a human-centered approach to my consulting work. I am deeply committed to creating meaningful experiences that resonate with participants on a personal level, while also driving impactful organisational outcomes.
