Edward spent 16 years in the Australian Army before becoming a Coach. He completed his Civil Engineering Degree in the Army and worked as an Army Engineer for most of his career. During his career he ran major construction projects in Australia and in Papua New Guinea. In 2006, Ed deployed to Iraq and ran numerous reconstruction projects in Iraq during a 6 month deployment. Ed also served in Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. Towards the end of his career Ed had a number of jobs training officers in the Australian Army. What does all that have to do with coaching? Well, during his career Ed was instrumental in training young officers numerous skills including leadership, planning skills, personnel management, stress management and problem solving. These years in the military have given Ed great listening skills, patience, compassion and a grounded soft approach that balances his life perspectives. He thoroughly enjoyed these roles which laid a good foundation for his subsequent career in coaching.

Ed found his coaching experience not only invaluable, but life changing. Coaching supported Ed in the pursuit of his goals and in many facets of his life. One of his achievements was losing 15 kilograms in 6 months and then keeping it off. Less obvious than losing weight but far more rewarding in his life was removing his blockages to success which has resulted in finding his life partner and enjoying every day. Ed has worked and continues to work on being in tune with himself and the loved ones in his life. Dealing with his divorce and the death of his father in a three month period highlighted the importance to Ed in dealing with his emotions and not suppressing and ignoring them.

Ed has faced many challenges in his life which enhance his offerings as a coach. He is well positioned to support clients in goal attainment, stress, anger, sadness, finances and weight loss. Ed and his partner Bec support couples in couples coaching. Ed looks forward to supporting his clients in all these challenges and more.
