John Corrigan
John Corrigan an expert in helping individuals to bring their whole of mind to their daily life and increase their effectiveness and the effectiveness of those around them.
This expertise scales from the individual to the team to the organisation.
Developed from the premise that education no longer prepares us to live well in the modern world, how DO we live well? First, shift our attention to rewire our brains. Second, focus on the well-being of others. Third, organise how we lead teams so as to empower and transform.
John’s first degree is in Mathematics and he has an MBA from INSEAD. He has been an officer in the Parachute Regiment and a wireline logging engineer (taking measurements in drilled oil and gas wells) in various parts of the world, before entering the corporate sector via strategy consulting and corporate planning.
John’s interest evolved into change management in organisations where the employee-client relationship forms a major part of the value produced including leading the turnaround in a major professional firm.
John has had a strong interest in how education has shaped our capacity to engage effectively with the world around us and set up Group 8 Education in 2003 to help in the transformation of our education systems.
John is based in Australia.
