I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE
One of the best things about being a coach wielding the power of community: I'm not just supporting one leader. I'm giving them what they need to create a wave which with the right people, space and conversation, can energise whole ecosystems where everyone can thrive.
It is an absolute privilege witnessing that profound shift when a leader stops trying to carry the weight of the world on their own shoulders and realises their greatest strength isn't in having all the answers, but in their ability to build a community where everyone can contribute.
It's the moment you see fear replaced by trust, and silos replaced by genuine collaboration. You get a front-row seat to watch human potential being unleashed, not just in one person, but across entire teams and systems of people, and that ripple effect is what creates real, lasting change
HI, I'M ADAM BOWER
From a young age, I wanted to be a rockstar. A quick search on YouTube would tell you that I lacked the talent... but I did manage a band for a while. I attended their gigs dressed in a bear suit, to cut through the awkwardness and get people dancing.
I spent years in insurance in product innovation teams, doing design thinking, agile delivery and working end-to-end throughout the customer journey throughout ASIA-Pacific. I loved making meaningful impact - providing support for people who genuinely needed it.
My life changed on a ferry in New Zealand. Someone invited me to relocate to create communities of people, so they could create better solutions.
This led me down a rabbit hole, from the boardrooms of global companies to deep conversations with neuroscientists and behavioral psychologists. I studied the dynamics of high-performing teams, and the answer was always the same. The most successful, resilient, and innovative organizations on the planet weren't just well-managed; they were deeply connected. They were communities.
Oh and I'm still dancing.
The funny thing is, I'm still the dancing bear. I am at my best when I am creating the space for people to connect, giving them the safety to be their true selves and both the sense of drive and energy to do more than they thought was ever possible. It is through this work, I have realised creating space for community is just filling up four buckets. They multiply together to create something much greater than the sum of the parts.
Connection x Safety x Drive x Energy =
Life is too short to awkwardly sit back and wait for the right song to dance to.
WHY DO I COACH?
I coach because I believe the most common path to leadership is also the loneliest.
For years, I saw brilliant, driven people climb the ladder of success, only to find themselves on an island. They had the title, the strategy, and the responsibility, but they were disconnected—from their teams, from their purpose, and often, from themselves. They were leading, but they were leading alone. This isolation is the silent killer of potential. It breeds burnout, stifles innovation, and creates a culture where people are too afraid to speak up, make mistakes, or bring their whole selves to work.
I’ve been on that island. I know the pressure of having to have all the answers and the exhaustion that comes from sacrificing yourself on the altar of your business. I realised that the traditional model of leadership, focused solely on individual achievement and top-down authority, is fundamentally broken. It creates leaders who are great at managing processes but poor at cultivating human potential.
My "why" for coaching was born from a simple but profound truth: we are stronger together.
