The Pattern You Keep Seeing

Change stalls when key people leave. High-potential leaders aren't developing fast enough. Everything depends too much on a few individuals being there.

And right now, with aging workforce challenges and migration pressures, this matters more than ever.

Here's what you're probably seeing:

  • Leaders stuck in the weeds, too busy to develop their people

  • Change initiatives that lose momentum when someone moves on

  • Pulse checks showing people feel disempowered, unclear about direction

  • Activity everywhere—the "beige zone"—but no real strategic progress

  • People leaving because they're not growing

You've got budget. You know standard leadership programmes haven't moved the needle. Systems weren't designed to develop people, so they leave. You're pouring water into a leaky bucket.

You can’t control the external forces at play.

You can control whether you build leadership capability that creates lasting impact beyond any single leader’s presence.

"Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence." — Frances Frei

It's Your Responsibility to Leave People Better Than You Found Them

When you build leaders who develop others, not just deliver their own results, we see the shifts we are desperately craving.

Change doesn't depend on any single person. Capability doesn't walk out the door. Systems keep going when someone moves on.

This is how you realise the potential waiting in your organisation. The DNA is there. You just need leadership that unlocks it.

And in sectors facing workforce pressures? This isn't just good practice. It's how you solve retention: build capability that makes people want to stay because they're actually growing.

Turn the magnet on.

A Different Way Forward

Leading Lasting Impact isn't another leadership programme focused on making your leaders effective.

It's a systematic approach to creating change that continues and evolves without relying on heroic individual leaders.

What programme participants explore together:

Stage 1: Recognition - Understanding where they are on the impact leadership spectrum and why current approaches create dependency

Stage 2: Reframe - Shifting from "How can I succeed?" to "How can I create change that outlasts me?"

Stage 3: Rebuild - Developing others as the primary change strategy, creating systems that strengthen during transitions

Stage 4: Renewal - Establishing self-improving systems and distributed leadership that multiplies their impact

The journey typically unfolds over 6 months through either individual intensive coaching or a collective learning experience with peers facing similar challenges.

The Organisation Transformation Journey

Is This Right for Your Organisation?

Sectors:

  • Manufacturing, construction, infrastructure, engineering

  • Public sector agencies

  • Health sector

  • Purpose-driven organisations

Your Situation:

  • 3-10 year strategic vision requiring cultural shift

  • Facing aging workforce and/or talent challenges

  • Front-footing transformation, not just firefighting

  • Have budget, seeking genuine partnership

  • Ready for multi-year commitment

Your Mindset:

  • Standard approaches haven't worked

  • Need courage to stop busy work

  • Want to build capability, not just deliver programmes

  • Seeking long-term solution

  • Value partnership over vendor relationships

Why This Is Different

I've spent years watching brilliant people do good work that simply doesn't survive because it was too dependent on them being there.

In the public sector, through machinery of government changes and leadership transitions. In manufacturing and construction, through aging workforce pressures. Good work is disappearing because organisations are built for heroics, not lasting capability.

That sits uncomfortably with me.

So I developed Leading Lasting Impact for organisations ready to build something that lasts.

The Approach:

  • Multi-year partnership, not one-off training

  • Systems-building, not hero-creation

  • Developmental lens, not training lens

  • Work with operational leaders, not just HR

  • Soul-led—I only work with organisations doing good work in the world

Track Record: Long-term dollar partnerships with government agencies on 10-year transformations. Proven across health, education, economic development, construction, research institutes.

What clients say: "Fresh and different and edgy... not the standard off-the-shelf stuff."

What changes?

For Your Organisation:

  • Strategic delivery beyond engagement scores—actual impact

  • A leadership pipeline that survives people leaving

  • Retention through development—people stay because they're growing

  • Change that keeps momentum through transitions

  • Your organisation becomes a talent magnet

For You as the HR/OD Leader:

  • Recognition for building something that lasts

  • Operational leaders engaged in the work

  • Evidence-based approach for your business case

  • Partnership, not a vendor relationship

Leading Lasting Impact Programme

What if you didn't have to figure this out alone? The programme brings together 4-5 senior Executives and Senior Leaders who share your commitment to building something that lasts beyond your tenure.

This isn't a traditional cohort programme. It's a carefully designed space where peer learning meets expert guidance, where participants work on your real leadership challenges while developing the capability to create lasting systems.

What's Involved

Six months of focused development:

  • Four monthly peer learning sessions (half-day virtual) with fellow senior leaders navigating similar terrain

  • Two full-day intensive workshops in months 3 and 6 for breakthrough thinking and deep integration

  • Two individual coaching sessions for participants’ specific context and challenges

  • Leading Lasting Impact Assessment to map participants current stage and development pathway

  • All frameworks, tools, and resources, including the SEED methodology for building sustainable change

  • Ongoing peer network that extends beyond the programme

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Standard programmes focus on individual capability. We focus on building systems—leaders who develop others, capability that continues without key people, change that survives transitions.

  • Senior leaders create the conditions. If they're stuck in heroic leadership patterns, those patterns cascade down. Change their approach, it ripples through.

  • If you're purely firefighting, this may not be the right time. This is for organisations ready to front-foot, not just survive. But if you're asking "how do we prevent this crisis recurring?"—let's talk.

  • Absolutely. Minimum 5 participants. Many organisations start with one cohort, see the impact, then scale.

  • Four virtual half-day sessions, two full-day in-person sessions, and two one-hour coaching sessions. Real transformation requires real commitment.
