Who We Are
Authentix Coaches was founded by Angus Cunningham to make
available the learnings from his career as an engineer, corporate
executive, management consultant, entrepreneur, writer, and
performance coach.  Over the last 17 years Angus has been
articulating the Authentix coaching principles, drawing on a
lifetime's experiences in persistent devotion to truth in words -- the
outcome of early recognition by his parents and mentors of a value
that is precious in serious fields of endeavour (and some not so
serious!).
Consulted by many kinds of clients for 30 years, both individual &
corporate, Angus has helped many high-energy individuals engaged
passionately in invention or design, and also many organizations, for
example:

Air Canada, Barbecon Central Converting, Barber Ellis of Canada, British
Leyland, British Steel, Canabond, Canada News Wire, Chant Construction,
Cummins Engine, Dazit Production Technology, Deft Software, Dishon
Heart-of-Component Manufacturing, Dunlop Canada, Echo Consultants,
Federal Commerce & Navigation, GTE, Guardian Royal Exchange Insurance,
Gulf Canada, Heinz USA, Inteledigm Market Sciences, McKinsey &
Company, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, National Hydraulics & Engineered
Systems, Tyrrell Machinery, Weston Foods, YMCA of Metropolitan Toronto,
241 Pizza.

Angus researches, recommends, and writes up enterprise process, practice,
and organizational issues & requirements; shapes business & market
strategies; gains consensus to practical, reputation-building values, ethics
and strategies; makes multi-partner business proposals; and works hard to
evoke the best in others through empathy and the sharing, development,
acceptance, and purchase of insight.  He works face-to-face with both
individuals and groups and also by email.  He is the author of the widely
circulated manuscript "Foundations of Engaged Well-Being" and expects to
publish "Vital & Thriving Verbal Truths" in 2008.

“Seeking poise, or at least equanimity, before either excitement or comfort,
today’s leaders develop and share insight, sow inspiration, and apply our
passions to advancing not only our own aims but also those of our families,
clients, and supporting communities”
