About

Hi, I'm Eamon Rooney. Leadership & Executive Coach

About Growth Pathfinder
I founded Growth Pathfinder on the idea that we all have limitations that can hold us back or lead us to under-perform and that these limitations can be overcome. Leading us to achieve and accomplish more than we thought we could.

How do I know what I’m talking about?
After starting my professional life as an engineer in Japan, I worked my way up to becoming the CEO of the North and South American division of mid-size European company.

Although I’d built a business from scratch and ran for 4 years. This was my first formal leadership position as a CEO. I ended up setting aside my intuition and focused on getting results without really inspiring the people I lead. Or nurturing the relationships with those to whom I reported. I accomplished the goal, ruined relationships and paid the price. I then went looking to understand what I could have done differently. In doing so I discovered some patterns that I tended to repeat in a variety of situations. I committed my self to growing beyond my limitations.

That’s how my journey started. Not only do I help my clients deal effectively with challenging situations. As an executive board member in a nonprofit, I use this leadership position to put my learnings into practice, not just for myself, most importantly for the benefit those in the organization that also need help. It is also in this role that I continue to gain insights from leading an organization that I learn from and then pass on the learnings.

For whom I can be helpful

I've worked with over four fifty hundred clients

For Business Owners

More than anyone you understand the pressure to serve customer, meet payroll and make a profit. Most of the business owners I’ve met and worked with started out on their own as a way to make more money or deliver a better service to the customers they were already helping. They have little to no training in how to run a business and consequently tend to have a lot of skills and capabilities that are under-developed. Which leads to any of the following a)hitting a revenue wall, b) difficulty dealing with people or c) hit a peak and was never able to stay there. I help you develop the capabilities needed for you to thrive.

For Executives

Delivering results AND ensuring your people are engaged is the primary challenge. If you’re being honest with yourself you know you’re good at one and fair at the other. Developing new skills strengthens your team and encourages them to develop also.

There are five common limitations that get in the way of doing both of those things. I help you identify where the gaps are and to close them. You get to thrive in the face of uncertainty or ambiguity while achieving results and freedom of time.

For Aspiring Leaders

As someone aspiring to a leadership position, learning lead yourself first and then others is the pathway to being an effective leader.

By understanding the five common limitations that we all face. You can develop the skills and capabilities to negate these before they become debilitating. This allows you to build the resilience to face uncertainty, develop a reputation as a performer and do so without burning out.

Greatness Beyond Success... Aim For Greatness

Yes I'd like to know more about how I can do that

Having a successful business or career can sometimes lull us into a false sense of security. Which can lead us to fall in to the complacency trap. The trap that leads you to think that you are fine and that you are doing well and that you think it will last. At some point reality will intrude. At which point it becomes a harder journey than it needs to be.

I want you to Flourish. To follow that drive to grow. To create something great. To accomplish that means focusing on a goal, a mission, that is much bigger than you. Leveraging the people in your organization becomes the engine to Greatness Beyond Yourself
