Kevin Mascarenhas
Diploma in Transformational Coaching
Kevin holds a diploma in Transformational Coaching. He brings exquisite listening, challenge and focus to serve his clients. His approach to coaching is a journey of emergence and within this, clients find a safe space to allow thoughts and feelings to arise and find voice. It really is surprising what can be uncovered and transformed from this place.
I've spent long periods of time in nature which has led me to the realisation of how interconnected all of life is. My professional career has crossed from engineering to consulting to investment banking and ecological design and looking back I can plot a narrative of 'thinking in systems'. I've mapped this systemic perspective into the coaching work I do with organisations, teams and leaders. I'm passionate about hosting spaces for the underrepresented and I enjoy creating an enabling environment for all voices in the room to be heard. Much of this has been fuelled by my struggles in childhood and fatherhood, in exquisitely difficult family dynamics.
Experience
In 25 years of work, Kevin has shape shifted his career across multiple industry sectors while through it all has run the golden thread of designing and implementing using "systems thinking". Kevin's focus has been predominately in the world of technology until he trained as an ecological landscape designer travelling globally to facilitate indigenous community trainings on sustainable food production and community decision making.
Blending these two worlds of experience, Kevin founded his own systemic coaching philosophy to work with high performance disruptive technology startups, their leaders and their teams. While coaching for emergence has enabled Kevin to adapt his style to the domains of both corporate and entrepreneurial endeavour effortlessly.
Specialisms
Executive and leadership coaching, team coaching and organisational design using his systemic perspective.
Personal brand coaching placing his clients at the heart of their ecosystem of relationships and responsibilities.
Coaching introverts to help them strongly connect to their superpowers and find their place in their business context.
Personal style
Kevin sees coaching as navigating a map of his clients' interior and exterior worlds. He loves to walk that journey shoulder to shoulder bringing his natural curiosity to challenges faced. With incisive questions, he seeks to invoke responses that lead to new perspectives and fresh insights which translate into action wholly owned by his clients.
Kevin has been described as a good listener, kindhearted, personable and business savvy.
Kevin has helped us build a language and organisational structure that resonates with us and is fit for purpose. This has translated to more open and honest conversations, awareness of avoidance and a greater sense of accountability and emphasis on action. Kevin helped me move through personal obstacles to reach a sense of confidence in team-work.
Kevin has helped me to structure my thoughts about my personal and work life; to develop a greater understanding of my motivations, needs and objectives; to uncover new ways of responding to challenging situations, and become more confident.
