Book A Conversation

**The way we’re working isn’t working.**

Burnout is rising. Strategic thinking is shrinking. And deep down, you're asking: Is there a better way?

You’re a senior leader. You get results. But the cost is creeping in, on your energy, your team, your clarity.

The sessions with Digby were always productive, enjoyable and full of value. He played a crucial role in shaping our leadership team culture at the Ministry of Health. Digby brought humour, insight, and just the right amount of challenge to each session.
James McCulloch, Chief Executive, Manaaki Tāngata | Victim Support

Digby has been a core part of my leadership journey for over a decade. Change is constant, and often lonely, but his support and the changemaker community he’s built has made all the difference. Digby isn’t just a coach; he brings purpose, bravery, and life design into leadership. I highly recommend starting a conversation with him.
Nicky Riches, People and Culture Manager, Hiringa Energy

Digby truly stands out among the many consultants I’ve worked with. He builds trust quickly and tailors leadership work to what’s really needed, no cookie-cutter approaches. His coaching helps people shift in ways that stick, and the impact is not just felt, it’s measurable. The return on investment is undeniable.

Digby is who you want when creating anything leadership-related. He’s relatable, credible, and cuts through to what matters. Agile, practical, and in demand for a reason, his impact is real. Book him early or you’ll miss out!

Item 1 of 4

Hi, I’m Digby, a coach, facilitator and speaker.

For 25 years, I've walked alongside leaders who sense that something's off. The relentless pace. The constant demands. The expectations that seem impossible to meet.

You're not alone.

Working with purpose-led leaders, I've discovered a better way to create impact while sustaining what matters most.

I work with teams and individuals to shift from hero to host, creating space for leadership to emerge.

My approach isn't about following someone else's blueprint. It's about finding your unique path while honouring your energy, your relationships, and your vision.

I reckon that's what the world needs more of. I wonder if you do too?
