The Curious Mindset
Our session with Damian was a masterclass on leading teams in diverse cultures, a task full of complexities that can initially seem to hinder high performance. At the core of Damian's message was the idea that Cultural Intelligence is a key skill for leaders, and indeed, everyone within a high-performing team.
Steve Maxwell
Head of Digital & Technology
The biggest lessons are the often forgotten basic fundamentals in life, the importance of saying please & thank you, being honest, giving of your time, taking an interest in others & sharing any success you may be lucky to have along the way. So Damian, you’ll have to throw the ‘imposter syndrome’ in the bin! You’ve written a brilliantly engaging, thought provoking & inspiring book.

I've been running BC Rugby News for almost 20 years, I've seen the offshore experts come and go, but l've never seen anyone "get it" as quickly as Damian and adapt to the reality of rugby in Canada. It's a theme he mentions early on when discussing how to be a successful coach or leader, "the guiding principles are all there but unless you adapt them to the circumstances you find yourself in, they are meaningless".
