Our Team
Jeremy Dooley
I’m Jez, and I’m lucky enough to run the point on all workshops and coaching that we do at The Undertows.
For over two decades I’ve been designing and running workshops on human connection, leadership and team dynamics.
Beyond our workshops, I’ve been really honoured to coach, mentor and train some top shelf individuals to help them enhance their own skills as coaches, facilitators and people leaders.
My curiosity in people, and what makes them tick, has taken me to some unconventional places. At various times I’ve also been an actor, stand up comic, strength and conditioning coach, creativity consultant, professional fighter and educator.
I draw on all of these experiences when creating our workshops, and when coaching those brave enough to step into it.
Sam Lane
I’m Sam, and along with Jez I deliver the bulk of the workshops at The Undertows. When I’m not in delivery mode, I make sure that all of our workshop content is underpinned by valid theories and best practice methodologies. So while Jez does the art of facilitation, I work on the science of it.
I’m a PhD Candidate, accredited social worker, and am honoured to have had some of my research published in various academic journals globally.
Well-being is something that I am hugely passionate about and my research is heavily focused on that.
My research has seen me embedded in elite sporting organisations, working in the not-for-profit sector, and working in some pretty amazing islands throughout the Pacific.
Away from The Undertows, I have another role as a University Lecturer, which I love, as it enables me to be on the cutting edge of research and theory.
