Seamus Fox - From Sabotage to Success: Author, TEDX speaker and coach

Doug Gordon Season 1 Episode 7

Last week, I sat down with Seamus Fox — bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and high-performance coach: for a raw and powerful conversation you don’t want to miss.

Seamus grew up during the tough times in Northern Ireland. From a challenging childhood to selling counterfeit goods and battling his own self-sabotage demons, his life took a near-fatal turn in a drunken car crash. That moment became his wake-up call.

Today, Seamus is a leading mindset and performance coach for CEOs, business leaders, and elite athletes. He helps high performers overcome stress, procrastination, and overwhelm to unlock their true potential.

His message is clear:

Success isn’t just about skill or strategy — it’s about mastering yourself.

As per the title of his book “From self-sabotage to success”, Seamus has transformed his life and now inspires others around the world to do the same.

Tune in for an insightful conversation on:

Leadership
Mental resilience
Personal transformation
What it really takes to thrive at the top
Listen now and get inspired to transform your own story.

In way of background I spent 21 years as a C-level executive where I was recognised in the Times and Independent national newspapers for my work. Since leaving the corporate world in 2018 I have been honoured with 5 awards for keynote speaking, coaching, mental health work and growing a consulting and training business. I also have been a national radio presenter in Ireland for over 5 years interviewing over 300 people including sports stars, film stars, NY Times bestsellers and top business leaders to find out what makes people successful in life and how they did it. This led me on to writing my book. I also played national league premier division hockey in Belgium, England and Ireland captaining and coaching international players.
