Craig is a leadership learning and development coach and facilitator. He has previously been a Leadership and Management Adviser at the University of Canterbury. He has developed a specialisation and high level of knowledge in coaching and mentoring in a variety of sectors – in business and education - through experiential facilitation techniques and inquiry learning processes. Other leadership learning contexts include team development, adaptive leadership and change, collaboration, emotional intelligence, and strategic planning. Of particular interest to Craig is culturally contextualised leadership; he has been involved in a Māori initiative - Te Kauhua - which emphasised the necessity of whanau and iwi engagement, and the building of productive relationships with stakeholders in order to strengthen outcomes. In addition, he facilitates numerous professional learning groups of leaders.

 As an experienced educator with wide and varied leadership experience over 25 years in New Zealand, Canada and United States, Craig has presented at national and international conferences. His expertise and enjoyment of experiential learning derives from his extensive outdoor and sporting experiences, including being the School Director of Outward Bound New Zealand.
