Why My Voice and Guidance Matters

Because I’ve lived on the edge — of cultures, systems, and identities-

I know it’s not the end of the path. It’s the beginning of leadership that matters.

I don’t just coach leaders - I navigate with them.

As a Black man raised on the waters of The Bahamas, I carry the wisdom of the sea: how to listen to subtle winds, hold a steady helm in rough currents, and trust that beyond the horizon lies more than just risk - there’s revelation.

I know what it means to chart a course through systems not built for you, and still hold the compass of your values with both hands.

My voice matters because it disrupts the myth

that leadership has one look, one language, and one lineage.

I’ve coached from inside of global institutions and stood at the edges where change is messy, human, and deeply necessary. I work with leaders who are done performing success and ready to embody it - with integrity, with soul, and in service to something larger than reactive ego or empire.

If you care about people and planet - not just profits…

If you are leading inside systems that need transformation, not maintenance…

If you know the answers won’t be found on the surface…

Then you need someone who knows:

  • how to go below deck,

  • how to read the wind before it shifts,

  • how to return to the stillness at the center of every storm.

This is what I offer:

  • Not a map - but a crossing.

  • Not a script - but a conversation that returns you to yourself.

  • Not a quick fix - but a journey toward wholeness, responsibility, and resonance.

You don’t have to lead alone.

And you don’t have to abandon your soul to make change real.

The edge is where leadership evolves.

Lets go together!

The short version of Quinn and his world work.

I guide leaders and teams to navigate complexity with clarity, courage, and purpose. Drawing on 25+ years in leadership development, systems coaching, and Master-level energy medicine—and inspired by the sea’s wisdom—I help organizations and change-makers align vision with action to create lasting impact for people, business, and planet.

“Coaching with Quinn is deeper than tangible results. There is a below-the-surface intimacy. This is about having a deeper knowledge of yourself, yourself in relationships, how you change, how you evolve, how you actualize your intentions in complex systems without losing yourself and maintaining your integrity.”

“It’s like having a compass that I can use over and over again to move with purpose through unfamiliar and changing territory.”

ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) | EMCC Accredited Coaching Supervisor (ESIA) | Master Energy Medicine Practitioner | Ocean Wayfinder

I partner with leaders who are shaping a regenerative and sustainable future—executives, founders, ESG champions, change leaders, coaches, and team leaders committed to creating meaningful impact in their organizations, communities, and the world we share.

My career has spanned the helm of leadership and human development: rising to Vice President in organizational leadership, serving as an executive & leadership coach in PwC’s Leadership Coaching Center of Excellence, and guiding leaders at all levels through complex systems and transformative change. As a former faculty member with CRR Global, I have taught  Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC) and partnered with clients worldwide to elevate team alignment and performance. I now serve as Faculty Leader for the Co-Active Training Institute’s 10-month Co-Active Leadership Program and the Co-Active Leadership Workshop, where I guide diverse groups to deepen personal mastery and expand their leadership capacity. As an Accredited Coaching Supervisor, I train and supervise some of the world’s most experienced coaches in the art and discipline of Coaching Supervision and Reflective Practice through the Coaching Supervision Academy across North America, Asia, and the UK.

I am a sailor, and the sea is my teacher. The tides and wind remind me that leadership is navigation—listening deeply to shifting conditions, holding steady to purpose, and knowing when to tack or pause. The ocean’s rhythms mirror the pulse of teams and organizations: calm and fierce, ordered and wild, always alive and becoming.

My commitment to lifelong wellness began in my teens, supported by two academic degrees in human performance and health & wellness, and has evolved into a philosophy grounded in the belief that everything is energy. As a Master Shamanic Energy Medicine Practitioner, trained through The Four Winds Society in the traditions of the Q’ero people of Peru, I work with both visible and invisible fields to restore balance, enhance performance, and channel energy toward thriving—for individuals, teams, and organizations.

I bring this integrated expertise—corporate leadership, systems coaching, wellbeing, and energy medicine—into every engagement. My work is systemic and deeply human, designed to expand capacity, align vision with action, and create results that endure, for people, business, and planet.
