Kevin Cottam
PCC, BSc.
Singapore, SGKevin, a proud Canadian, cover featured in Meetings International Magazine (Nov 2019), TEDx and global professional keynote speaker, executive coach, and author, has recently journeyed the globe—particularly in Mongolia, Kenya, and Morocco—researching ancient nomadic leadership wisdom to determine what The Nomadic Mindset is. In his fresh new, story-driven, case-study-framed leadership book, The Nomadic Mindset: Never Settle...for Too Long, he combines the qualities of this mindset with executive interviews. The image-filled stories and concrete teachings take you on an inspirational and transformative journey.
From the ice rinks of the world, to the boardrooms and training rooms of multinational enterprises, to the stages of conferences, audiences and clients all say, Kevin is a "passionate, not business-as-usual speaker," and "they want that peaceful, elegant grace he has." His quiet authority, powerful presence, and unique global-living experience incites clients to seek him out, listen to him, and work with him.
Formerly an elite figure skating choreographer of world and Olympic champions, director and choreographer of the 1988 Olympic Closing Ceremonies, Holiday on Ice, and Disney on Ice, he leverages this success with his current coaching and training work with leaders and managers to build, grow, and encourage whole leaders who lead with an awareness of their dominant mindset.
Through his nomadic and executive research, he has discovered a fresh new behavioral/personality framework and assessment tool that looks at an individual's and an organisation's dominant mindset. It is called the Nomadic Mindset Dominance Assessment, or NMDA.
Using the nomadic mindset as the umbrella brand for his work, he speaks and coaches on leadership, which covers such topics as change, resilience, vision/purpose, team unity, engagement, and the NBS Mindset. He has worked with Club Med, UBS, Givaudan, Mediacorp, L'Oreal, Nestle, Thales, and Prulia, and he spent 13 years with the European Union (Commission, Council, Parliament) as a coach and trainer. He has spoken at MPI, SITE and ASAE conferences and chapters in various locations in Canada and the USA, Jordan, Dubai, Copenhagen, Davos and more.
He is a Certified Marshall Goldsmith Stakeholder Centered Coach/Success Unlimited Coach/and NLP Practitioner. He is an active member of the International Coaching Federation (PCC), Asia Pacific Singapore Speakers, Global Speaking Federation, and Malaysian Association of Professional Speakers.
An avid sportsman, creator, and global nomad who loves, swimming, kayaking, working out, yoga, meditation, travelling, and great conversations, Kevin loves meeting new people of different cultures. His current research has led him to fulfill his philanthropic dream of beginning to financially support the education of Maasai children in Kenya.
His first book, a self-help book entitled, Aha: Mother's Pearls, is a precursor to The Nomadic Mindset based on the lessons that Aha Moments can offer that will enrich your life and leadership. Kevin lives globally, with outposts in Singapore, Vancouver, and Lisbon.
