Sean Spurgin

Learning Director

A true champion of learning

Meet Sean, our Learning Director and a true champion of knowledge sharing. With his unique blend of pragmatism and thought leadership, Sean doesn’t just deliver learning—he creates ripples of knowledge that extend far beyond the classroom and into the way people work every day.

Sean’s philosophy

His guiding principle? Staying unwaveringly true to his values and beliefs. This ethos is at the heart of how he designs and delivers learning experiences. Sean’s sessions are more than just informative—they’re transformative. They cut through the clutter, change behaviours, elevate results, and most importantly, inspire people to be the best versions of themselves.

Lead Author of Dropping the C-Bomb

Sean is the Lead Author of Dropping the C-Bomb: Why Team Climate Crushes Culture, Elev-8’s new book that flips the script on culture change. In it, he distils decades of frontline experience into a field guide for leaders who want to shape climates where people thrive.

The book captures Sean’s trademark style: evidence-based, practical, and rooted in human connection. From psychological safety to everyday leadership behaviours, his work challenges conventional thinking and offers leaders actionable ways to build unstoppable teams.

Unlocking hidden potential

Sean has a knack for uncovering hidden performance potential across industries. He’s a firm believer in the power of thinking, feeling, and behaving differently to unlock new levels of success. By working at both strategic and tactical levels, he ensures that solutions not only inspire people to bring their authentic selves to work but also ignite a passion for delivering exceptional service and value.

A leader in learning design

As the whizz behind our programme design, Sean ensures every client project is engaging, impactful, and tailored to exceed objectives. His insights regularly spark lively debate on LinkedIn, where he shares practical reflections that resonate with leaders, managers, and L&D professionals alike.

Beyond the desk

When he’s not immersed in learning design (or buried in a book), Sean is a fervent football fan, cheering on his favourite team in red.
