FAQ:

Look, I get it - you're already flat out. That's why I've designed my programmes to fit around what you're already doing, not disrupt it. I can run short, sharp workshops or spread sessions over weeks - whatever keeps your business moving. My clients find that leadership improvement just becomes part of the workflow, not another thing on the to-do list. You'll see the difference without the downtime.

I believe in providing a strong return on your investment through strategic team development. While my programmes require a commitment, the benefits of reduced turnover, improved leadership, and increased team cohesion significantly impact your bottom line. I’m happy to discuss how my solutions can align with your specific goals and provide a tangible return.

Fair question. You need confidence before you commit. I've been doing this long enough to know what actually works - not theory, but practical approaches that build resilient leaders and teams that deliver. Every business is different, which is why I don't do cookie-cutter solutions. We target your specific challenges using strategies I've refined over years of seeing what works on the ground.

I hear this one a lot. "Our team just doesn't have what it takes." Honestly? That's rarely true. I've worked with all sorts - from the super-shy to the seemingly difficult - and found talent in unexpected places. My job is to meet your people where they are and build from there. You might be surprised at what your team is capable of when someone helps them see their own potential.

You could give it a go - many try. But there's something about having someone from outside who can see the wood for the trees. I bring fresh eyes, battle-tested methods, and the ability to say things that might be tough to hear from a colleague. Plus, I save you from reinventing the wheel. Why spend months figuring it out when I can help you crack on with solutions that work?

Let's be blunt - replacing people is eye-wateringly expensive. When you're spending up to twice someone's salary just to get a replacement up to speed, that's a problem. My Lightning Core programme tackles this head-on by building the kind of workplace people don't want to leave. It's about creating genuine trust and engagement - not corporate fluff, but real connections that keep your best people on board and your hiring costs down.

I won't promise overnight miracles - that would be nonsense. But you won't be waiting ages either. With focused work, you'll spot changes quickly - often within weeks for team morale and individual leadership growth. The deeper stuff, like culture shifts that really stick, takes a few months to bed in properly. You'll get early wins to build momentum and lasting change that keeps delivering long after I've gone.

Time pressure? I know it well. I've been in leadership roles myself, so I understand the demands. That's why I've designed my approach to be lean and practical. I focus on delivering impactful sessions and practical tools that can be implemented immediately, without adding extra burdens like lengthy assignments or time-consuming readings. I respect your leaders' schedules and ensure they gain maximum benefit with minimal disruption. You won't find endless reading lists or homework here – I prioritize focused development that respects their time.

After scaling a 670-person remote team across four continents, I'd say this is right in my wheelhouse. Remote and hybrid setups bring unique challenges, but they're not the headache many make them out to be. My Lightning Momentum programme specifically helps leaders bridge those virtual gaps, building connection and collaboration regardless of where people sit. Distance doesn't have to mean disconnection.

I'm not interested in delivering glossy presentations and disappearing. My approach is hands-on - I roll up my sleeves and work directly with your people. Leadership isn't theoretical for me; it's about practical skills that create real change. I focus on mentoring at all levels and building cultures where people genuinely thrive. You're not getting a coach who drops in with a generic playbook - you're getting a partner who's invested in your success.

No worries at all - that's what our initial chat is for. I'll ask about your current challenges, what's keeping you up at night, where you want to be. Based on what I hear, I can point you toward the right solution - whether that's Lightning Ascent to get things moving or something more comprehensive like Lightning Catalyst. You won't be making this decision alone.
