Leadership Coaching Built on 35+ Years of Experience

Investing in coaching is the catalyst that transforms emerging potential into decisive leadership authority. Our clients experience the power of identifying inner blockages and stepping into their true influence, enabling them to lead with greater clarity and confidence.
Hi, my name is Troy Wood. At the age of nine, I was bullied and
chased home from school everyday in total fear. One afternoon I
decided: no more. Enough is enough. To my surprise, when I
stopped running, they stopped chasing, no attacks, no fisticuffs they
just stopped!  Looking back, I understand why I needed control--it
was how I kept myself safe. I was so young, I couldn't have known
where that decision would lead. But something in me knew I had to
take control of the narrative--to protect myself, and to protect who
I'd become.

 

That decision shaped the rest of my life. My work life started at 18 in
manufacturing. By 19, I was promoted to supervisor. In my late 20s,
I became a shift manager, leading larger teams and taking on more
responsibility. Along the way, I started multiple businesses and built
teams from the ground up. In my 50s, I was promoted to plant
manager, responsible for people, performance, and culture across
the operation. In 2022, I deepened my expertise and expanded my
ability to serve others by completing the Canada Coach & Mentor
Academy’s Life & Wellness Coaching Certification program.  That’s the heart behind The Powers Are In You and the work I do with emerging and aspiring leaders today.

   Why My Leadership Coaching Starts Within

​

From a scared nine-year-old to a seasoned leader to a certified professional coach — my journey taught me one truth before I ever set foot on a shop floor or in a boardroom: powerful leadership isn't something you're given, it's something you build from the inside out. Thirty-five years of leading teams, from the plant floor to Plant Management, confirmed it every time. Before you can lead others, you have to lead yourself. That's where I start with every client — because that's where I had to start too.
