About me
Personal Profile
Hi, I'm Shaun, founder of Cobalt Blue Coaching.
Let's see if my journey resonates with yours...
​
Tired of feeling successful yet burned out? I get it! Despite delivering complex projects and having the titles and salary, something felt deeply missing. After years of climbing the corporate ladder, I hit a wall, leading to an unexpected detour: becoming a scuba instructor and embracing a life of travel.
​
I witnessed first-hand the toll that stress, self-doubt, and feeling out of alignment can take on even the most talented leaders. Missed opportunities, burnout, and that dimming of inner spark...I knew something had to change.
​
My own transformative coaching experience changed everything. I rediscovered my values, strengths, and desire to make a difference. That powerful realization ignited my passion for coaching.
​
Why Cobalt Blue Coaching?
​
I created Cobalt Blue Coaching to help driven leaders like you escape the 'successful but unfulfilled' trap. Married for 18 years and a father of two sons. I've lived in South Africa, New Zealand, Thailand, Malaysia, Mozambique, and the UK. This global experience fuels my love for different cultures. Let's just say I'm powered by strong coffee and a passion for exploring new possibilities (culinary and life!).
I blend my corporate expertise with proven coaching methods and my personal journey to help you:
-
Uncover your true goals and build an unstoppable plan.
-
Rewrite negative mental scripts and unlock unshakeable confidence.
-
Become the inspiring, resilient leader you're meant to be.
-

My goal is to help you unleash the leader within!
