Why is Leading with Awareness Important?
💡 In a rapidly evolving world, standing still is not an option. I have had the honour to work alongside many incredibly talented and intelligent leaders. Alas, being individually talented and intelligent was not sufficient for sustainable success. I now understand that the leaders who will thrive are those who embrace change, anticipate challenges, understand people dynamics, and stay ahead of the curve. And that the more senior the role of the leader, the
more they need to rely on others to deliver - that can be a hard reality.
💡 It is not enough just to take the lead — you need to lead with a data-driven precision that puts you ahead of the competition, long-term. We are not talking here about standard external metrics such as customer experience (important but your competition is measuring that also). We are talking about creating a deep understaning of hearts, minds and capability within ie the factors that are already functioning in your organisation, department or team.
Experiential, Transformational Workshops
🔑 Supported by a global network of Business Psychologists, my workshops are designed to be experiential and transformational, equipping leaders and teams with evidence-based, validated content that addresses today’s complex business challenges.
🔑Leveraging comprehensive personality data, such as Hogan Psychometrics and 360-degree assessments, and my proprietary CONSIDER Model, our approach is grounded in actionable insights that drive meaningful change and measurable results.
🔑By integrating insights from psychology, heart intelligence, and culture change, we help organisations navigate human behaviour effectively. We draw from diverse fields, including neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and non-violent communication, to foster deeper understanding and practical skills.

A model for defining and refining culture
💡 Each quadrant reflects a distinct team culture. Leaders who focus heavily on people may fall into the Agreeable category, fostering strong relationships but risking lowered performance standards.
💡 Leaders focused solely on results can be highly Productive but may miss nurturing relationships that drive long-term commitment. Mediocre leaders, meanwhile, struggle with both, resulting in limited engagement and output.
💡This model isn’t just a snapshot; it’s a developmental guide. Used in conjunción with case studies, skills' practice and Hogan data, together we explore leaders’ natural inclinations, clarifying where they might lean too far in one direction — such as overcompensating with accountability at the expense of nurturing team morale.
💡This understanding empowers leaders to adjust, ensuring they not only achieve goals but also gain their teams' genuine commitment. By pinpointing areas for growth, this tool drives leaders toward a balanced, adaptive style that maximises both performance and loyalty.
