About Sean
Sean has been a person drawn to explore the depths and riches of life. He has also innately drawn and committed to learn, develop, innovate and reach for higher levels of excellence and experience.
This has led him on a rich hero’s quest in which he found the innovative and profound methods of Circling and Surrendered Leadership.

This propelled him to co-found a successful Circling and Surrendered Leadership International organization, Circling Europe, for twelve years and counting.
