Damian's career pathway, goals and philosophy have always had a clear focus on the development of others and the building of respectful and productive relationships to achieve this. By placing people and relationships as the most important aspect of Damian's professional approach he has a proven track record of success in delivering results with the support of identified partners. A passionate believer in leadership, education and development, much of Damian's learning to date has been influenced with his involvement through and in sport. The community aspect of sport, its inherent need for cohesiveness and the importance of developing high performing teams continues to be a driver in Damian's ongoing development as a professional. As a former player, coach, educator and mentor in sport and his professional career Damian has developed and sustained a passion for identifying and supporting individuals, small groups and teams through a shared approach to learning and outcomes based results.
