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 450+ 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.

See What Clients are Saying About Breakthrough’s Impactful Coaching and Support

"When I started working with Bob, I was super stuck in feeling overwhelmed and defeated.  I was a couple of months into a new position and when I looked around me, everyone else seemed to be excelling while I was left feeling guilty and resentful.  I knew the tools that could help me manage my overwhelm, but I wasn't using them and didn't understand why. 

Bob created a space where I was able to identify that I was living outside my values and helped connect my current professional struggles with other aspects of my personal life.  I understood at a deeper level why my struggle for work/life balance was unsuccessful and was able to apply what I learned to both my personal and my professional life. 

Through my work with Bob I was able to re-align my professional goals with my personal values and take a big leap of faith into the next step in my career.  I will forever be grateful that our paths crossed at a time when I needed it most!

Thank you for the time and the space and the unwavering support as I navigated this difficult chapter in my life!"

""When I started coaching with Bob, I was having a really difficult time managing stress and anxiety. I often had thoughts of escape - like quitting my job or taking a break from my family. I thought that would be the quick fix to stop the pain. When I started coaching, I believed that my job and parenting are inherently stressful. I was so very wrong.

Bob has helped me learn several skills - from dealing with stress to making an impact. I've discovered the power I have to make change and influence my environment. I worked with Bob through several large transitions - getting new managers and colleagues, and taking an opportunity with a new role at my company that is a great fit for me. Today, I'm more optimistic and brave in my work and personal life. I have a stronger sense of purpose. And I enjoy my life so much more now."

“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?”

“There is a profound difference between finding one’s way in life and making one’s way. Breakthrough Leadership is for the waymaker who embraces responsibility for leading their own life. Bob’s thoughtful guidance and encouragement has helped me to grow as a waymaker, and I am grateful for it. He is genuinely interested in helping people help themselves and naturally talented as a personal coach. It is a gift to have Bob in our community, and I recommend Breakthrough Leadership without reservation.”
