How the work runs
Four moves,
in this order.
01
01
Listen
Before we meet I interview six to ten people around you. You get the unedited themes — what they say when you are not in the room.
02
02
Choose
We pick two or three behaviours that would change the most if they changed. Not ten. Not a personality transplant.
03
03
Practise
Fortnightly sessions built around real meetings in your diary: the board paper, the hard conversation, the offsite you are dreading.
04
04
Measure
Short 360 pulses at the start, midpoint and end. The people around you tell us whether it worked. We adjust until they say yes.
Questions
Before you apply.
Anything else, ask on the chemistry call — that is what it is for.
Can my company pay for this?
How do I know which programme fits?
What if it is not working?
Do you coach whole teams?
Accepting three principals — Q4 2026
Start with
twenty-five minutes.
No deck, no pitch. You talk, I listen, and we both find out whether I am the right person for the next year of your working life.
