Hello, I’m Sean. I’m honored that you’re here and want to know more about who I am and why I do what I do.

Like you… who I am is much more than what I do. Sure, I’m an Executive Leadership Coach, Speaker, and author of leadership development programs. Yet, I’m also a husband of over 35 years to an amazing woman and educator. From our Southern California home, we've raised two amazing daughters and a nephew who have blessed us with multiple grandchildren.

Ultimately, I’m an intuitive, big-hearted, tech-loving, straight-shooting, out-of-the-box, solution-seeking person. I love working with and equipping leaders to elevate their effectiveness through personalized coaching and leadership development.

As an Executive Leadership Coach, Professional Keynote Speaker, and Corporate Trainer, I customize my content and approach to best serve your leaders. My desire is that you become even more successful in your life, your leadership, and your legacy.

I take a personalized approach to leadership development in how I serve leaders throughout the Inland Empire, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Orange County, and throughout the Nation.

My Experience:

I’ve had the honor to serve as a veteran Executive Business Mastery Coach for Business Breakthrough International, a Chet Holmes and Tony Robbins’ Company. I am trained and certified to facilitate corporate training programs based on John C. Maxwell’s New York Times bestselling leadership books. Altogether, I have served as a trusted advisor, coach, and breakthrough strategist for business leaders across 75 different industries and 7 countries. I’ve become the EQ Evangelist, on a mission to educate, equip, and elevate the emotional intelligence skills and behaviors of leaders around the world.

Why I do what I do

I never want to see high potential leaders experience the needless pain, panic, and insecurity that comes from being thrown into the deep-end after being promoted to a position that requires more competencies than they currently possess.

When you encourage and empower people without properly equipping them, you set them up to fail, not succeed. - essentially allowing them to fall victim to what Dr. Lawrence J. Peter calls The Peter Principle - "When management promotes employees to a level of incompetence." 

I bet you’re a bit like me—you experienced this early on in your career, too. I was often asked to step up and take on new roles or responsibilities that sounded exciting and even impressive. Yet it’s only after the intoxication of being selected for this new opportunity faded away that I began to realize that I didn’t know what I had gotten myself into. I was not prepared to provide the leadership that those around me expected and deserved.

 Unfortunately, this antiquated model of sink-or-swim is still practiced in private, public, and even faith-based organizations. As a result, everything I do is related to my purpose, “Sean Oliver, Inc. exists to serve by equipping leaders” or I don’t do it. That’s why I’ve studied leadership, communication, emotional intelligence, and behavioral coaching for over 35 years. I can help new, high-potential, and seasoned leaders acquire and improve the mindset, skill set, and knowledge they need to reach their full potential.
