Animation (coming from the Latin word, 'anima') means to 'give life to', 'to quicken' to 'vivify' to 'breathe life into'. Animation Coaching involves coming alongside individuals or organisations in order to encourage those things that bring life, health and blessing. By focusing on the things that give life, more positive outcomes are achieved and preferred futures can be realised.
Animated Living sponsors a weekly podcast by the same name and a Facebook Group: RESET 2021.
As a global member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), I adhere to a strict Code of Ethics in my practice. It would be my absolute honour to come alongside you, your business, or your organisation to support you in coming more fully into LIFE!

It is no surprise to see him become an in-demand life coach.
Business Entrepreneur & Funder of growing Not-For-Profits
As a community leader, Ian has seen so many people in all stages of life and helped them work through their personal challenges - he has seen it all! He has a gift of seeing "what could be" for a leader and then gently help the leader discover a wider perspective and vision.
His "Animation" methodology is based on his belief that we are all capable of seeing and doing much more - that we are capable of constantly creating and growing into a better person, better family member and better participant in our community.
Ian is a valuable resource to leaders who seek to grow their organisation and themselves.
Ian demonstrates constant advanced accurate empathy. His reflections and attention to the possible outcomes of client actions for their professional colleagues are practical and relationally wise. He is a patient guide and careful but creative teacher of those with a learning posture. I commend him as an enabler and colleague.
I have known Ian for many years as a coaching colleague, tour guide and a pastor. He has always inspired me with his creativity and deep thinking. In his role as a coach, Ian challenges coachees to consider their goals and the way forward to achieve them; he empathises with coachees and works with them to move forward with the challenges facing them in a solutions-focused paradigm
