ABOUT US
Sean Purdy
I spent 20-odd years in advertising and marketing agencies, mostly in London (with Publicis, McCann and others) and working on clients across the technology, automotive and financial services sectors.
​
It was in one of those agencies that I met my wife, Jacqui, and she persuaded me it would be a sound idea to take a year out from our careers, buy a boat and sail across to the Caribbean and back.
​
On our return, our priorities and aspirations had shifted a bit, and we moved to Dorset where I spent most of a decade in client-side marketing before founding Troposphere.
​
My GC Index profile says I'm a Strategist | Implementer, meaning I'm motivated to 'map and build the future'. I'd say that I love making things that are functional or delightful - and ideally both.

The first half of my career was spent in the advertising industry, running the international divisions at Upward Brown Media and at Total Media - where I latterly became Operations Director.
​
In this role I worked with the leadership team on the strategic repositioning of the business, and oversaw the internal change management that this demanded - and I had my eyes opened to the transformative power of executive coaching.
​
As a consequence, I decided to switch paths, get myself qualified as an executive coach, and set up my own coaching practice. I am a GC Index partner (my profile is Playmaker | Polisher) and also accredited with Extraordinary Leader, Prophet, Clifton Strengths and other tools for evaluating performance and potential.
​
My coaching invariably involves aspects of wellbeing, as I believe it is a pre-requisite for performing at our best. This dovetails with my passion for yoga (I'm a qualified yoga instructor) and I often combine proven coaching methods with yoga-based techniques when working with my clients.

About the troposphere
The troposphere is where we live. It’s where the weather happens. Where our climate is changing.
​
It is about eight miles thick on average. On a planet with a diameter of 8,000 miles, that’s equivalent to the thickness of a postage stamp on a football.
​
It might be an idea to take care of it.
