TESTIMONIALS:
THE MAGIC OF SISU COACHING
Angus has been a rock for reliable, transparent and accountable operations, and a catalyst for improvement and change. He builds momentum to tackle the next challenge with empathy, purpose and an open mind - engaging across our community and staff on a mission with each personal interaction, delivering on commitments, managing challenges and leading through changes, seeking timely perspective or expertise to move the organization forward.
I write this to encourage those with the opportunity to work with Angus, to do so - you will not find a better teammate on your journey.
— Truman E., Board Vice President, Rugby Colorado
Finding a mentor and coach that tells you what you want to hear is easy.
Finding one that listens with a careful ear is like finding a gem in the sand.
Coach Angus is a true coach for all things and has been instrumental in guiding my life after the military.
Coach Angus’ abilities far surpass some of the “best” I’ve interacted with.
— Zach R., Special Forces Engineer
Magic...that is Angus! The relief I have knowing that when he steps into the room, the level of engagement will be dynamic, solid, thorough, deep and fun. His natural intuitive ability of navigating the murky waters around self and group in China is remarkable. Angus gets cause and effect - he thinks holistically and then makes his conclusions and teaching points relevant as well as practical. Angus cares. His work creates a swell of behaviors change in individuals and organizations. Magic!
— Mary R., Executive Coach and Ted Talk.
Angus Peacock transformed my life and my mind set into self-improvement machine. He used a Socratic method for my self-improvement, provoking areas where necessary by challenging me and in a stimulating way in order to keep me fully engaged. This also seemed to be tailor fit for my personality character type at the time.
I think Angus’ objective was for me to be able to find answers to my own perceived problems and obstacles by myself, as soon as possible. After sometime with Angus, exactly how long I needed, this mind set became second nature and I was able to constantly find solutions and start to be a real problem solves across all areas of my life. Please do note though, that I wanted to improve, I was humble enough to admit I could be wrong/missing something and I would actively work on self-improvement through other areas other than the mentoring that Angus provided.
However, Angus has the ability to shift more paradigms better than any book that one could read (in my opinion).
He will find your weak areas, make you aware of them and help you solve it as soon as you can.
In short Angus showed me how to fish with my own mind. This quote comes to mind: “teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”
— Simon B., Business Consultant
Angus was my coach for about 2 and a half to 3 years. He was one of the best coaches that I’ve ever had and knew exactly how to push me to get the best out of me. Angus always knew how to communicate what I needed to change, how to react to situations, and what I needed to work on effectively and gave me great feedback and exercises to perform. He is always very motivational. Without him, I would not have had the opportunities that I’ve had playing rugby at the higher elite levels.
— Dustin S., Financial Planner
During my tenure with Coach Peacock I grew as a player, a coach, and a man. Coach Peacock’s character and ability to communicate with a wide variety of individuals from a multitude of backgrounds was a challenge and an opportunity he poured himself into. Coach Peacock demanded the best his players were capable of and never gave them unachievable goals or expectations. At the same time, he pushed us beyond our preconceived limits. The lessons he taught me in this regard have carried on with me to this day. His business experience and acumen made him a valuable asset to his team and community. The last thing I will say about Coach Peacock is that he has a creative mind and is able to problem solve in high stress situations. When mistakes were inevitably made, he would highlight them and he would form a plan to fix it. If he made a mistake he would address it straight away. He led by example, owned everything good and bad, and was an absolute joy to play and coach for. Any organization would be blessed to have Coach Peacock as a part of their team. I smiled the whole time I wrote this as I was flooded with all sorts of unforgettable memories thanks to Angus Peacock.
— Ryan C., Chief of Staff
I have worked with Angus for the last 18 months and in that time I have witnessed his attitude of excellence in overcoming obstacles. He has never backed down from a challenge, instead he prepares and addresses issues that would hinder the completion of his project. He always looks for the best in the people he works with, whether coworkers, clients or vendors, he always has a great disposition. This quality has enabled him to form cohesiveness within a team building dynamic. These qualities have made him stand out in his field as someone I would always choose to have on my team.
— Bob T., Safety Manager
Angus' personal technique is a methodology extolling a virtue of 'it can be done and let me prove it' as opposed to 'it can be done because I'm telling you to do it.' The greatest improvement that I have seen is in my mental endurance. I can plan more accurately further in advance, keep dates and function details in my head longer and maintain a required on-show attitude without effort even toward the end of long shift.
The positive training methods employed by Angus gave me a goal-oriented work ethic that permeated into my life. Such well-rounded routines resulted in greater, more rapid and visible achievements.
— Benedict P. Operations and Governance Manager.
I did not find rugby until I was toward the end of my 20s. While training and competing for Angus I was able to reach what I consider to be the apex of my competitive sports career in my early 30s. He is capable of seeing deep into a person’s potential and extracting abilities they never knew existed. With the Black Dragon rugby club we traveled both domestically and internationally. Those events and memories I regard as highlights of my life.
— Jason B., Software Architect
Angus is one of the best coaches I have had. I have seen firsthand Angus's executive leadership, knowledge and dedication in driving rugby clubs or organizations forward. He elevated my game to the highest level I ever played. He continues to be a driving force behind change and growth in Youth Rugby and the effect it has on the community here in Colorado.
— Oliver T., Reliability Engineer
I was on the tail-end of playing rugby when Angus became my coach. His passion and motivational approach is what kept me playing years later, well past my prime. He has the ability to get the most out of his players, no matter what their background, to compete against anyone. Because of this mindset he created, our teams had a lot of success throughout the years. Most importantly, Angus made it an enjoyable experience as well, which is really the most memorable part. He's a great leader, but an even better person.
— Paul B., Accountant​
Angus is a dynamic leader who knows how to get the best out of the situation he is put in. While playing for Angus, he routinely led teams to perform above their ability levels and surprise our opponents and ourselves. His ability to pivot and coach to the team and situation is great.
— James F., Government IT Consultant
Over the last few weeks, I shared a number of really insightful (and enjoyable) calls with Angus Peacock. These were centred around some personal aspirations that I have, rather than professional (though of course any well rounded plan in life is interlinked). Lots of questions flying around in my mind on how to go about my objectives. Angus was only too happy to jump on multiple calls (despite the time difference). He answered my questions and shared some of his experiences, having previously trod a similar path to which I aspire. Most importantly, he also challenged me to reflect on certain aspects that would have never crossed my mind. As a result, I feel far more prepared in that aspect of my life and have huge gratitude and admiration for how Angus supported me in that process.
— Lewis C., Military Veteran & Wealth Manager
Angus was my project manager at Aleut for just over a year 2023-2024. In his role, he managed some very challenging projects from which other seasoned project managers and key personnel had formerly resigned. Angus hit the ground running, learning new company processes and procedures, contract requirements, regulations (EPA, General and SWPPP permits, etc.), and he became a stabilizing force to his team. His strong organizational abilities and solid leadership made him a great asset in pushing those projects to closure while maintaining positive client relationships. The results of his team's work were stated by clients as being 'a product to be proud of' and 'used for an example to others.'
— Debbie M., Project Manager
Angus helped me define what a good coach is and enabled me to take lessons and apply them to my own work. Angus would develop strategies for who the current personnel were, and didn’t develop strategies for who he wished we were. As a team we would be able to come together and solve problems big and small. This is because Angus would set goals, big or small, and explained the path to get there. Angus was able to get players to put in the work and reach beyond what they thought they could be. This meant trying their best while with the team, and giving a little extra on their own time. I always thought I was able to master a new skill under his guidance and understood how it could fit into what was needed. The process of coaching and mentorship fit what was needed by the team in real-time in play. We were able to solve the problems we faced because we prepared for the different situations. Of course there were failures, but when those did occur it was always a learning experience taken with a bit of fun. Instead of being the end of the road, these misses would be used to uplift and motivate for next time.
— Gordon W., Litigation Lawyer
Angus certainly knows his rugby but it is personal and career growth that happened while playing for him that is the real story. He is among the best speakers I have ever met, which coupled with his ability to break things down into goal oriented objectives that drives people to achieve and really punch above their weight class. I was also very impressed with his ability to handle logistics as a coach, event organizer, and head of Rugby Colorado.
— Mikhail K., Engineer
Angus has a passion and dedication for sport that makes him a standout coach, mentor, and personable expert. Helping to provide opportunities for teams and individuals. It doesn’t matter if he is coaching, directing or advising, this is a man with professionalism and expertise with the ability to engage athletes and listeners alike.
Angus’s abilities and talents extend far beyond rugby, making him an impressive figure in the world of sports, health and more.
