Leading Lasting Impact
Leadership capability that sustains through generations
Go beyond training individual leaders to drive performance and engagement.
Build leaders who build others, and reap the benefits of lasting impact.
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:

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

Your Mindset:
Standard approaches haven't worked

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."

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.
