Joseph O’Connor is an author, executive coach, trainer and consultant. He has given trainings in over thirty countries and specializes in executive coaching, helping executives become more authentic leaders and keynotes in many international coaching conferences.

His first career was as a musician – a classical guitarist – teacher and concert performer. Working with other musicians he discovered the importance and difficulty of overcoming our ‘inner opponent’ – always there regardless of how skillful we become. Very clear in the performing arts, but also applies to trainers, coaches and CEOs.

His books have been translated into thirty languages and have sold over half a million copies worldwide.

His latest book is ‘Coaching the Brain – Practical Applications of Neuroscience to Coaching’. was published internationally by Routledge in February 2019.

He founded the Neuroscience Coaching Centre in 2019 for coaches to have access to the best Neuroscience resources for coaching.

His vision is to contribute to an integrated model of coaching – physical, mental and spiritual – to help all to act with practical wisdom in an increasingly complex world.
