Bula Vinaka & Kia Ora,
I am Deacon Manu
I have lived in Fiji, New Zealand, Wales, Hong Kong, and Singapore—each shaping my journey as a leader, athlete, and educator. As a former international rugby captain, accredited neuro-linguistic coach and author, I have experienced the highest levels of sport, competition, and leadership. My career has taken me from rugby to international education and coaching, where I blend my experiences to develop resilience, teamwork, and performance in organisations and individuals.

Coaching Success
Through tailored coaching, I empower organisations and individuals to unlock their potential, build confidence, and achieve personal and professional growth. I enhance teamwork, improve team collaboration, and create a culture of engagement and innovation that drives success
Leadership Growth
I use strategic leadership coaching to help organisations and individuals develop self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and the skills needed to inspire teams and drive success. I enhance leadership effectiveness, improve communication, and grow a culture of collaboration and innovation, ensuring sustainable growth and performance.
Unlock Your Potential
Empowering teams and individuals through coaching, education, and leadership to achieve their highest aspirations.
Change Management and Adaptability
Change is the only constant. I have supported organisations in navigating change by equipping leaders and teams with the tools to embrace transitions, overcome resistance, and adapt to new challenges. This grows resilience and ensures smooth implementation of strategic initiatives.
Health and wellness coaching
Through coaching, I have supported and prioritised wellbeing across various organisations. This enhances job satisfaction, boosts morale, and improves retention rates while maintaining high performance.
Deacon’s coaching truly unlocked my potential, pushing me beyond limits in both my professional and personal life!
