About Glenn Bolan
Author Speaker Mentor Auckland, New Zealand
I help accomplished leaders who feel there must be more find their purpose and lead from it. I also work with organisations that want leaders who know why they lead.

My work
A wayfinder for life & leadership
For me, infusing purpose into leadership and business is like jet fuel for success.
I’m passionate about the power of purpose in fuelling organisational success and creating leadership impact. Almost nothing will accelerate engagement, productivity, innovation, growth, impact and fulfillment like leaders and businesses operating on purpose.
I’ve worked with leading organisations across Australia, New Zealand and the globe on their journey toward greater growth, profitability and productivity, in telecommunications, media, financial services, food and beverage, dairy, retail, energy, healthcare, technology, education, construction, manufacturing, government and the charity sector.
You can think of me as a wayfinder for life and leadership. I bring the latest thinking from psychology, motivation science, neuroscience, relationship systems intelligence and philosophy to bear in practice.
I’m the author of the forthcoming Leadership Calling, a practical how-to for working, living and leading on purpose.
I envision a world where everyone is living full of purpose and in their calling; bringing what they were born to bring in full, burning brightly.

What people say
It really made me think and assess what’s important to me
I took part in the Leadership Calling program with Glenn. My sessions with him were interesting, challenging, enjoyable and very beneficial. It really made me think and assess what’s important to me and how to balance my life. Glenn is a lovely guy and easy to open up to and work with. I’m very grateful that I had the opportunity to spend time with him. Thank you very much.
Alan BrameBoard Chair & CEOI found myself wishing it had continued longer
Glenn has a wonderful way of connecting with people and encouraging you to step back, reflect on what really matters and be more intentional about the direction you want to take, rather than simply getting caught up in life’s demands. The program was genuinely valuable and uplifting, and I found myself wishing it had continued longer. An experience I would highly recommend.
