About
Donovan Grant is a coach, mentor, blogger, speaker and IT professional who brings his wisdom of parenting for the last 21 years and coaching clients through the stages of raising youth and empowering leaders with life lessons that are changing generations. He is a passionate and committed leader who believes that we all have the ability to help to change someone else’s life. Actively doing so as a catalyst for many years he teaches how to live a life of success, balance, integrity and fun, whether at work or at play.
Donovan brings a fresh approach in helping people to enjoy new possibilities for health, fitness and well being. He believes that people have natural strength and resources within them just waiting to be set free. He loves to see people grow during the coaching process and reach out for their ‘impossible’ dreams! In particular, it gives him great joy to watch his clients change. They go from struggling to balance work and family life; and transform into empowered and confident people who treat themselves and their family like the amazing people they truly are.
Prior to becoming a coach, his background was in the IT industry where he has over 20 years of successful track record. He continues to work as a Business Analyst for a large financial services company in London today.
Why does Donovan care so much about being a coach? He left school at 18 with some really good grades and he didn’t go to university. Sometimes he wished that he had done because a lot of people who were not as smart as him did go and they ended up going onto some great things. In his mid 20’s there were some times when he was a little jealous of them. But deep down he knew one thing; that if he stayed the course and followed his passion, that he would end up doing what he loved to do.
It took him a while, so when he started finding out about the benefits of coaching he knew that he had arrived. Why did he arrive? Because he is so incredibly passionate about two things in his life: Being a father and being a coach and the two go hand in hand. Why do they go hand in hand? They go hand in hand because both of these roles give him the chance to help people that he cares about to achieve success and balance in work and their personal lives.
His work as a coach has totally transformed his life and he has never looked back. He did not realise at the time what a positive impact coaching would make to all areas of his life. In particular, it has allowed him to increase his confidence and create a balanced life for himself and his family.
He says that "my life is a continuous journey," and he has experienced many positive changes. He is now totally committed to helping individuals to have a fuller yet more balanced life. His formal coaching and communication training has enabled him to develop a ‘whole person’ approach that is tailored to individuals. This allows them to make fun transformations in their lives.
Donovan is a family man living in South London with his wife and three beautiful children. He loves working, travelling, speaking and coaching with a variety of audiences and individuals. He also enjoys going to the gym, cycling, swimming and a competitive round of golf. Donovan’s approach to life is to have fun, be a man of purpose and integrity and to aim for healthy work life balance in all that he does. He finds pleasure in working with individuals who share his passion and purpose for living.
