PUT WHO FIRST
30 Years of Real World Human Centred Leadership experience distilled into tools & insights that create the conditions where people matter and performance is amplified.
Let's Talk About Your Event
The Data is Clear —
the Human System is Under Strain.
-
Only 21% of employees globally are engaged at work
-
Just 33% are thriving in life
-
22% experienced loneliness the previous day
-
Manager engagement has fallen — and 70% of team engagement sits with the manager
Less than half of managers globally -
say they’ve received any formal management training.
Yet leaders are expected to carry engagement, wellbeing, performance, change, and technological disruption — all at once. It's too much!
This isn’t about adding more to leaders’ plates.
It’s about helping them lead with more steadiness, clarity, and ease — even when the pace doesn’t slow.
When leaders feel more resourced on the inside, everything else becomes more manageable.

Culture isn’t Created by Strategy.
It’s created by Who leaders are in everyday moments.
In moments of pressure, leaders don’t rise to the level of their training.
They default to their level of self-awareness.
That’s why Who comes first.
When leaders learn to lead in wise relationship with themselves and others, they create the conditions where people feel safe, seen, and able to do their best work — even in complexity.
This is the heart of my work.
And it’s the message I bring to stages, leadership teams, and organisations across sectors.
