The Principal Year

The rhythm

  1. 1

    Chemistry call

    Twenty-five minutes. We both decide.

  2. 2

    Listening fortnight

    I interview the people around you and bring back the themes.

  3. 3

    The work

    Sessions built around real meetings in your diary.

  4. 4

    Pulse checks

    Your team scores the change — start, middle, end.

Questions

Anything else, ask on the chemistry call — that is what it is for.

Yes — about two thirds of engagements are sponsored. I send a one-page summary and a simple agreement, and the sponsor gets a short progress note each quarter. Never session content.

You do not need to. We work that out on the chemistry call; about a third of people end up somewhere other than where they expected.

We will both know by the midpoint pulse. If the numbers have not moved we change the approach, and if they still do not, we stop and you are not billed for the remainder.

Yes, through The Leadership Bench. I only take team work where the chief executive is in the room for every session.

Accepting three principals — Q4 2026

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.
