Description

In this episode of Get Up 10, Sharon sits down with Seamus Fox, a mindset and performance coach who works with CEOs, executives, and business leaders.

Seamus shares how he started out in fitness over 20 years ago, building personal training businesses before realising that true transformation goes far beyond the physical. Over the past decade, his focus has shifted deeply into psychology, mindset, and human behaviour.

He explains why people often struggle to achieve what they say they want — the gap between wants and values — and how aligning goals with personal values leads to inspiration rather than forced motivation. Seamus also opens up about growing up as the youngest of seven in Derry, the voids that shaped his drive, and why so many leaders seek out coaching when they feel isolated, fearful, or overwhelmed.

Expect a conversation full of practical insights on authenticity, leadership, and the inner work behind lasting success.
