Dan Gerrard
Leadership Coach and Team Coach at Brilliant Leaders
My interest in leadership and performance was forged on the football field having captained and coached a number of successful semi-pro football teams. I currently sit on the management team of the Spartans Community Foundation which exists to do good through the power of people and sport.
At Brilliant Leaders, I work 1-1 with individual leaders as well as with teams to consider how they can take their performance and impact on communities to the next level. I’m a qualified coach, holding a diploma in Transformational Coaching from the European Mentoring and Coaching Council, and am a skilled designer and facilitator of learning and development programmes.
My previous roles include being Community Director of Ashoka in the Netherlands (2017-2019) where I supported the development of social entrepreneurs and Senior Project Manager at Beyond Sport (2015-2017).
About my approach
People feedback that I am good at establishing a safe learning environment and at the same time that I can push and challenge people effectively.
I am used to high performance sporting environments where feedback is regular, direct and drives improvement so I enjoy helping people build a more rounded picture of themselves.
I have deep community knowledge so that is also a major part of my approach and what I bring to the table.
