Uncertainty, conflict, difference and radical change are a given in our era. My work helps people navigate these challenges with enough grace to co-create value in their circles of influence.

Mish serves leaders and leadership teams together with a network of trusted and deeply experienced team coaches worldwide. His work allows people to collaborate better through radical change and deep differences. Business problems with a people dimension—that seem intractable—are his bread and butter.

Since Mish joined the faculty in 2015, CRR Global has enabled him to serve coaches through many parts of their Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC™) journey. This includes all of the ORSC core curriculum, the mastery program of certification, and mentor coaching and supervision. He is passionate about enabling coaches to build their skills and their business to generate sustainable value for themselves, their clients and the ecosystems their clients serve.

What helps Mish in supporting both coaches and clients to generate value is his range of worldwide experience. This includes helping build democracy in Zimbabwe in the 1980s, co-founding and serving as the first CEO of a successful high-tech business in South Africa in the 1990s, and supporting a wide range of social-entrepreneurial initiatives including bringing ORSC to Africa in 2012.

In addition to holding ORSCC, PCC and ACTC certifications, Mish earned a bachelor’s degree in physics and another in African history from the University of Cape Town, a graduate certificate in education from the University of Zimbabwe and completed the Owner/President Management Program at Harvard Business School. His specialties include executive, leadership and team coaching, business development and supports for coaches including mentor coaching and coaching supervision.

As a volunteer, he is an advocate for men’s health. He runs an active global support group for men redefining themselves after prostate cancer. In 2025, together with his wife, Mish extended a global community fitness initiative called parkrun to their neighborhood in Toronto.

Mish’s guiding light is to generate creative value that serves people and the planet. He enables innovation by challenging and supporting top leaders and their teams to collaborate in new ways and create value from conflict. He works with business and social leaders and leadership teams worldwide on big-picture leadership, inspiring teams and alignment to vision.
