Meet Dan

I’m the founder of gr8r.me and a facilitator, coach, and organisational strategist working at the intersection of leadership, culture, and wellbeing.

My background in high-performance sport, acceptance and commitment therapy, coaching, and personal development shapes how I work - practical, embodied, and deeply human.
​
I support leaders and teams to move beyond overwhelm and into adaptability, clarity, and connection.

​
My work supports student leadership, staff culture, and whole-school wellbeing through practical, embodied learning experiences.

​Student Leadership Programs​

  • Communicate confidently with peers and staff
  • Develop emotional awareness and self-regulation

Programs are practical, reflective, and adaptable to both primary and secondary settings

​
Workshops focus on:
  • Communication and collaboration

How I Work With Sports Clubs

High performance isn’t just physical - it’s cultural.​
I work with boards, coaches, and playing leaders to develop strong leadership pathways and intentional club culture.

​Sports Leadership & Culture Development

Sessions are designed to:
  • Strengthen communication across players and staff
  • Develop emotionally intelligent leaders on and off the field
  • Build adaptable, connected teams
  • Move from reactive culture to culture by design

Strategic Planning & Pathway Development

Support for:
  • Club Presidents
  • Junior Coordinators
  • Boards and Leadership Groups

​Focused on:
  • Leadership structures
  • Junior development pathways
  • Long-term cultural alignment
  • Embedding systems that are repeatable and sustainable
If your club is ready to elevate leadership and create alignment across teams, I’d love to connect.

A different approach to leadership

  • Collaborative, not compliance-based
  • Embodied and practical, not theoretical
  • ​Grounded in self-awareness, not ego
  • Focused on real-world application and integration
  • Drawing on ancient wisdom applied to the modern day world

Let’s explore what’s possible
