About Grant
I came to coaching because I kept seeing the same pattern.
Capable, accomplished people quietly stuck in lives that didn't quite fit. NeuSpark is what I do about that.
How I got here.
I'm Grant. I've spent the last two decades leading complex projects across four continents — heavy industry, waste management, recycling, energy, infrastructure. Big problems, long timelines, lots of moving parts.
Somewhere along the way I started noticing something. The hardest part of most projects wasn't the project. It was the people inside them — capable, accomplished people who, on paper, were doing well. But who, in quieter moments, would say something like: I'm not sure how I got here. Or: this isn't quite what I thought it would be. Or simply: I should be happier than I am.
The pattern was everywhere. Different industries, different countries, different roles. The same quiet dissonance.
So I started training. I've done over 165 hours of 1-on-1 coaching with clients across a range of lives — entrepreneurs, mid-career professionals, people in transition. The work I do now is the work I wish someone had offered the version of me who once needed it most.
Why this kind of coaching.
There's no shortage of coaches. Most of them want to give you something — a framework, a system, a transformation. I don't.
What I've come to believe — through my own work, through Joe Hudson's Art of Accomplishment, through Wayne Dyer's writing on perception, through the practical edge of people like Tony Robbins and Benjamin J Harvey — is that the most useful thing one person can do for another is ask better questions and create space for the truth to land.
That's the whole game.
How I work, practically.
1-on-1, currently. Every engagement starts with a 45-minute conversation — free, no pitch, no pressure. If we're a fit, we'll talk about what working together could look like. If we're not, you'll walk away clearer about what you actually need.
Engagements are typically structured around a defined period — weekly sessions on Zoom or Google Meet, usually 60–90 minutes depending on what's needed. I'm based in Melbourne; most work happens by Zoom or Google Meet, with occasional in-person sessions available where it makes sense. I work across time zones; most of my clients are Australia-based, with some in the US and UK.
Pricing isn't on the website on purpose. Coaching engagements aren't one-size-fits-all, and the conversation about what's right for you is one I'd rather have with you than guess at. We'll cover it on the call if it makes sense to.
What I learn from.
A handful of people have shaped how I work, and naming them feels honest. It's also a sorting mechanism — if these names mean something to you, you're probably in the right place.
- Joe Hudson — Art of Accomplishment. For the proposition that emotional fluency is the foundation under everything else. Most coaching skips this. He doesn't.
- Wayne Dyer. For the line "when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change" — which has done more practical work in my life than any framework.
- Tony Robbins. For the operational edge. Questions as tools. Decisions as currency. The willingness to take change seriously.
- Benjamin J Harvey. For the Australian coaching perspective — taking results seriously without taking yourself too seriously.
I don't agree with any of them about everything. But all four have shifted how I work.
Briefly, the person.
I'm Australian. After a year in the US (North Carolina), I'm back home in Melbourne with my partner Cheryl. Outside of coaching I run an IT services business with operations across the US, UK, Australia, and South Africa. I mention it only so you know I have a foot in the world of building and managing teams — coaching isn't theoretical for me.
I read more non-fiction than I probably should. I'm still figuring out the same things you are. That's part of why this works.
If any of this resonated
The best next step is the conversation.
45 minutes. Free. No pitch. We'll talk about what's actually going on and whether coaching is the right fit for you. If it's not, you'll leave with a clearer sense of what is.
