Experience & Expertise

Meet Bob Dyrda

Breakthrough is led by experienced leadership and personal coach, Bob Dyrda. Bob has worked in personal and professional coaching since 2018 and is an ICF and iPEC-certified coach. The joy of helping others make the changes they want or need to make in their lives led Bob to his coaching practice. He is grateful to spend his time supporting and encouraging the next generation of leaders and empathetic, self-aware individuals. Bob meets his clients where they are at in the moment and uses generative listening to hear what they are saying – and not saying.

Before becoming a full-time coach, Bob spent the first twenty-five years of his adult life working in a multitude of industries and environments, including seven years working internationally, leading multiple businesses – one of which he co-founded – in the Cayman Islands. He has worked in sales and marketing, tourism and outdoor recreation, economic development and business management, bringing to his practice a rich body of experience with different leadership styles, interpersonal team dynamics and challenges both in and outside of the workplace. Breakthrough Leadership Coaching is the fourth small business Bob has owned and operated. All three of his previous businesses remain successful and have since been sold to friends or people in the community who continue to operate them to this day.

When Bob is not helping his clients grow and align in their professional or personal lives, he enjoys tending to the 500+ trees and shrubs he has planted and kayaking, golfing and hiking in nearby parks. A heart-attack survivor, nature enthusiast and lover of animals and people, Bob is excited to hear your story and learn how he can support you on your own unique path.

The Breakthrough Approach

A Conduit for Personal and Professional Transformation.

Bob’s friendly yet astute guidance helps leaders get out of their own way and increases not only their self-awareness but also their empathy and intuition when engaging with others, improving all types of communication and interpersonal relationships. He approaches coaching with a gentle yet pragmatic demeanor, creating an encouraging learning environment for his clients.

Bob’s coaching and development is grounded in his ability to listen loudly. He helps clients illuminate parts of themselves and better understand both what is holding them back and where they want to go. While always direct and practical, he creates an encouraging, safe space for clients to speak candidly about fears and struggles as well as dreams and goals, providing the support and vision necessary for them to reach their highest potential.

Results + Outcomes

Insightful Guidance.
Tailored Support.
Transformative Change.

Breakthrough clients will experience immense personal and professional growth through increased self-awareness, improved communication skills and identification of their gifts, goals and values.

Bob’s clients will also learn how to remove common barriers of resistance – including the “Big Four” energy blocks of limiting beliefs, flawed assumptions, misinterpretations and the inner critic – from their lives so they can determine pragmatic, achievable paths to success – the unique definition of which they will develop by working with Bob.

Bob's goal is to help clients become high thriving- for them to be internally well resourced to deal with the complexities of life and work with a sense of growth, sense of competence, and a high quality of life.

“Working with Bob has been absolutely life-changing. I work in a strategic role at a large corporation, which often comes with complex issues that can be difficult to tackle alone. Bob empowers me to successfully navigate tough executives, reframe my mindset, and achieve newfound success at work. As a chronic sufferer of imposter syndrome, I can get stuck in false narratives, but Bob gives me the tools to come up with proactive solutions and strategies to succeed. He is an active listener, an expert problem solver, and a genuinely, kind human. I'm extremely thankful for the positive impact that Bob's had in my career and overall well-being. If you're looking to level up in your career, I highly recommend Bob as a coach and trusted advisor.”

“I started to use coaching around one year ago when I realized I had a hard time communicating my ideas and contributing to important discussions. My coach, Bob, has worked with me patiently to understand the underlying issues. He helped me see where the problems were by asking questions and helping me find the answer myself. It took me a while to get to the answer to some of the questions and become self-aware.

Looking back, I see myself in a much better place now. One year ago, I was full of catabolic energy in stressful situations. I used to enter discussions with my armor up and ready for a battle. Now, I'm in a position of power with inner peace. I bring constructive anabolic energy to discussions. I rarely find myself coming up with a solution. Instead, I ask more questions and let the team come up with solutions to achieve a win-win situation.

Bob played an important role in where I am today. His patience and dedication are exemplary. I'm looking forward to working with him more to improve my leadership skills.

Thank you again for your time and dedication in helping me.”

“Bob introduced me to the Colors Personality Dimensions assessment. I think about it everyday as I am interacting with family, co-workers, customers or friends. Colors helped me to accept people for who they are rather than try to get them to change. Prior to coaching with Bob, I would become frustrated by the responses of others, not understanding why they act or react the way they do, and now I ask myself, how do we use the attributes they naturally possess to accomplish the goal today?”

Dan C.

“I’ve known and worked with Bob for a few years as a coach, friend and impact-maker in my life. I’ve always taken comfort in Bob’s presence, found his genuine warmth to be so comforting and his insight to be so unique. Being an entrepreneur, consultant and having his vast coaching background means he always has perspective, empathy and space that allow me to come to my own decisions and provide guidance if that’s needed too. I will always ensure that I never move too far away from Bob - he’s been such a calm and insightful presence in my life, and I feel so blessed that I know him!”
