Executive Development

Why organisations work with Samantha Simmonds She has spent more than two decades reading live news on Sky News and BBC News, so a live audience, a faulty autocue or a delayed senior speaker does not move her off the agenda. She has interviewed Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel and Nobel laureate Juan Manuel Santos in fireside format, which is the part of the job most hosts cannot do: keeping a global leader on the substance without flattening the conversation. She works at the top of UK corporate hosting, with named clients including the UK Government, Deloitte, London Stock Exchange Group, Sainsbury’s, Hewlett Packard, British Business Bank and Manpower Group. She compered the Qatar-UK business investment forum alongside both the British and Qatari Prime Ministers and chaired an innovation forum for the King of Bhutan, both of which require protocol judgement on top of presenting craft. When she keynotes in her own name, the material is grounded in something specific: how a live news anchor stays composed, frames the question, and reads the room when the script breaks. Biography highlights BBC News presenter, currently hosting Politics London on BBC One. Sky News main anchor from 2005 to 2016, covering UK general elections, the EU referendum, the murder of Jo Cox MP and the Royal Wedding from Buckingham Palace. Earlier presenter on BBC Breakfast and BBC London News, producer on Channel 5 News. Postgraduate Diploma in Broadcast Journalism, City University London; BA, University of Liverpool. Co-host of the podcast It’s a Grown Up Life with journalist Lauren Libbert. Named conference and awards hosting credits include the UK Government, Deloitte, London Stock Exchange Group, Sainsbury’s, Hewlett Packard, British Business Bank and Manpower Group. Biography Live news anchoring is closer to senior corporate hosting than most buyers realise. Both require holding a room, reading the agenda live, asking a useful question of someone who would rather stay on message, and recovering quickly when the running order breaks. Samantha Simmonds has done one for more than two decades and now does the other at the top end of the UK corporate market. Her on-air career runs from local radio in Yorkshire through Channel 5 News, BBC Breakfast and BBC London, into more than a decade as a main anchor at Sky News from 2005 to 2016. She returned to the BBC in 2017 and currently presents for BBC News and hosts Politics London on BBC One. The Sky years covered UK general elections, the EU referendum, the Royal Wedding live from Buckingham Palace and the murder of Jo Cox MP. The corporate work sits on top of that. She has hosted conferences, awards and fireside chats for the UK Government, Deloitte, London Stock Exchange Group, Sainsbury’s, Hewlett Packard, British Business Bank and Manpower Group. Her named fireside subjects include Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Juan Manuel Santos, and she has compered the Qatar-UK business investment forum alongside both Prime Ministers and chaired an innovation forum for the King of Bhutan. She also writes and podcasts. It’s a Grown Up Life, her podcast with journalist Lauren Libbert, covers the working and personal lives of midlife women. When she keynotes in her own name, the material is drawn from the anchor chair: how to ask better questions, how to keep composure when the autocue dies, and how to read a room of senior people in real time. Key speaking topics Conference hosting and moderation Fireside chats with senior leaders Awards ceremony hosting Interviewing technique under pressure Composure on the live stage Women, work and midlife UK political and current affairs context Ideal for Corporate annual conferences, leadership offsites and investor days needing a senior host. Awards ceremonies and gala dinners requiring an experienced presenter on stage. CEO, chair or political-leader fireside chats where the interviewer needs to hold the room and the substance. Government, financial services and professional services events with a UK political or current affairs frame. Audience outcomes A stage that stays on time, on agenda and on tone for the duration of the event. Senior-leader interviews that go beyond pre-approved talking points without becoming combative. A host who can absorb a last-minute running order change, speaker no-show or live technical failure without the audience noticing. For keynote bookings, a working account of how live broadcasters prepare for, and recover from, things going wrong on air.

Why organisations work with Sally Hogshead She brings a diagnosis, not a theory. The Fascination Advantage assessment gives leadership teams a shared vocabulary for what each person and each brand actually does best, drawn from data on more than a million respondents. Her commercial credibility is built on practice, not commentary. She wrote campaigns at Crispin Porter and Bogusky and her own agencies for MINI Cooper, Nike, Godiva and Harley-Davidson before turning that craft into a research-based system. Two New York Times bestsellers, Fascinate and How the World Sees You, give her arguments a published spine that internal teams can return to after the keynote. She translates the science of attention into work an executive can act on: how a sales team positions itself in nine seconds, how a leader is perceived in the first meeting, how a brand earns memory in a crowded category. Hall of Fame induction by the National Speakers Association places her in the top tier of professional speakers, measured by sustained client demand, not single-event reception. Biography highlights New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of How the World Sees You and Fascinate, the latter translated into more than twelve languages. Creator of the Fascination Advantage assessment, used by over a million professionals to identify communication and brand differentiation traits. Inducted into the CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame by the National Speakers Association. Former managing and creative director who opened the Crispin Porter and Bogusky Venice office in 2001 and previously co-founded Robaire and Hogshead. Built campaigns for MINI Cooper, Nike, Godiva, Coca-Cola and Harley-Davidson; advertising work held in the Smithsonian Museum of American History. Frequently featured by Fortune 500 teams and C-suite leadership groups to apply Fascinate research directly to brand and team positioning. Biography Most markets are not short of communication. They are short of memorable communication. The discipline of identifying what makes one brand, one team, or one senior leader stand out in a category where everyone sounds competent is where Sally Hogshead has spent twenty years of practice and research. Hogshead came up through the advertising industry as a copywriter at Fallon, Wieden and Kennedy, and The Martin Agency, then co-founded Robaire and Hogshead in 1998 before opening the Venice, California office of Crispin Porter and Bogusky in 2001 as managing and creative director. The campaigns she wrote for MINI Cooper, Nike, Godiva, Coca-Cola and Harley-Davidson hang in the Smithsonian Museum of American History. By the end of that decade, she had won close to every major international advertising award on record. The work since then has been about turning that craft into a system. Her two New York Times bestsellers, Fascinate and How the World Sees You, set out the research behind the Fascination Advantage assessment, a tool used by more than a million professionals and Fortune 500 teams to map how they are actually perceived rather than how they intend to be perceived. The distinction matters in commercial settings, where positioning is decided by the audience, not the speaker. Her induction into the National Speakers Association CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame placed her among fewer than 200 inductees since 1977. Senior teams hire her when they need to move from generic differentiation language to a specific account of why their organisation, product, or leadership team is the one a customer chooses to remember. Key speaking topics Brand differentiation and positioning Persuasion and attention in saturated markets Personal brand and executive presence Customer experience and marketing Sales communication and pitch effectiveness Team communication and perception Storytelling and business communication Ideal for CMOs, brand directors and marketing leadership teams Sales leaders and customer-facing organisations are rebuilding pitch and positioning CHROs and executive development leads are working on senior leader presence Founders and partners in professional services firms competing on differentiation Audience outcomes A specific, named view of where their brand or leadership team is currently differentiated, and where it is interchangeable A working vocabulary from the Fascination Advantage framework that teams can apply to pitches, profiles and internal communication Concrete examples drawn from MINI Cooper, Nike and other brands of how differentiation is constructed, not asserted A sharper assessment of what their customers and colleagues actually find memorable about them Editorial discipline on cutting filler messaging that is competent but forgettable

Why organisations work with Rita Clifton A board-level voice on brand, not an agency one. As Deputy Chairman of the John Lewis Partnership and former NED at Nationwide, ASOS, Bupa, and Dixons, she speaks about brand from inside the governance conversation, not across the table from it. Two decades shaping the modern discipline of brand valuation as London CEO then Chairman of Interbrand, the firm that established the methodology most large companies still use to put a number on brand equity. Author of the standard reference text Brands and Branding for The Economist, used as a teaching text on MBA programmes, alongside The Future of Brands and Love Your Imposter. Credible on sustainability and brand purpose as Chair of Forum for the Future, which separates her from brand voices who treat purpose as messaging rather than as a commercial commitment to test. Visiting Fellow at Oxford’s Said Business School on corporate reputation, with media reach across BBC, Sky, and the FT that signals authority to an external audience as well as an internal one. Biography highlights Deputy Chairman, John Lewis Partnership (from February 2021); Chair of the Nominations Committee. Chair, Forum for the Future, the international sustainability non-profit founded by Jonathon Porritt and Sara Parkin. Former London CEO and Chairman of Interbrand (1997 to 2012); previously Vice Chairman and Strategy Director at Saatchi & Saatchi. Visiting Fellow, Said Business School, University of Oxford, specialising in corporate reputation. Author of Brands and Branding (The Economist), The Future of Brands, and Love Your Imposter (Kogan Page, 2020), shortlisted at the Business Book Awards. CBE, 2014 New Year Honours, for services to the creative industries. Biography Brand is still treated, in most boardrooms, as something the marketing function owns. It sits beneath strategy in the agenda, gets the smallest share of capital, and is measured by activity rather than by enterprise value. Rita Clifton’s argument, built across thirty years at Saatchi & Saatchi, Interbrand, and BrandCap, is that this is the wrong organisational logic. Brand is what holds a company’s pricing power, customer trust, and talent magnetism in place, and in most large businesses it is the largest intangible asset on the balance sheet. She has tested the argument from both sides. As London CEO and then Chairman of Interbrand from 1997 to 2012, she helped shape the brand valuation methodology that boards now use to compare brand equity to other forms of intangible capital. As Deputy Chairman of the John Lewis Partnership, alongside earlier non-executive roles at Nationwide Building Society, ASOS, Bupa, Dixons, and Ascential, she has been the person on the other side of the table, asking executive teams what their brand investment is actually buying. Her writing makes the argument durable. Brands and Branding, published by The Economist, is a standard MBA reference. Love Your Imposter, published by Kogan Page in 2020, was shortlisted at the Business Book Awards and reframes the inner experience of senior leadership through the same lens of identity and authenticity she applies to brands. The sustainability work runs in parallel and reinforces the commercial case. As Chair of Forum for the Future and a Trustee at Green Alliance, she sits inside the policy conversation on net zero and corporate purpose. That gives her something most brand voices lack: a defensible position on whether a company’s stated purpose is actually being capitalised, or is just rhetoric on a website. Key speaking topics Brand as enterprise value and board agenda item Corporate reputation under digital and AI disruption Brand purpose, sustainability, and credibility Non-executive leadership and governance Personal brand and authenticity for senior leaders Marketing and brand strategy in consumer-facing businesses Diversity in the boardroom Ideal for Boards, chairs, and NEDs reviewing brand as a strategic asset rather than a marketing budget line CMOs, CCOs, and CSOs aligning brand, sustainability, and corporate reputation CEO and ExCo offsites in consumer, retail, financial services, and partnership-model businesses Senior leadership programmes addressing personal brand, identity, and presence at the top Audience outcomes A sharper definition of what brand is doing inside their own organisation’s P&L and balance sheet A board-level vocabulary for brand investment that connects to capital allocation, not campaign spend A more honest read on whether stated purpose is commercially credible to customers, employees, and investors A practical view of personal authority for senior leaders facing scrutiny they did not have earlier in their careers

Why organisations work with Rashim Mogha Two decades inside the rooms where women’s leadership advancement is decided. Senior roles at Oracle, Amazon Web Services, VMware, Automation Anywhere, and Skillsoft, building teams that supported over $2 billion in business. Few speakers on this topic carry that operational depth. Her work is built on a published, repeatable framework. The #1 Amazon bestseller Fast-Track Your Leadership Career gives HR teams and emerging leaders a specific template covering sponsorship, brand-building, and the unwritten rules of internal promotion. She treats women’s leadership development as a pipeline and retention question, which lands with executives who are accountable for the actual numbers. That framing avoids the trap of positioning DEI as a values exercise sitting outside business outcomes. Her LinkedIn Learning courses have reached over 250,000 professionals globally. That scale gives her a working understanding of which leadership content actually shifts behaviour across geographies and seniority levels. The credentials are named and external. Woman of the Year at the Women in IT Awards Silicon Valley, Top 20 Thought Leader by Thinkers360, Top 100 DEI Leader by Mogul, and induction into the Alameda County Women’s Hall of Fame. Biography highlights Founder and CEO of eWOW (empowered Women of the World), launched in November 2018; podcast audiences in more than 50 countries Author of the #1 Amazon bestseller Fast-Track Your Leadership Career and its companion Guided Journal; reached #1 on Amazon within eleven hours of release LinkedIn Learning instructor with courses including Succeeding as a First-Time Tech Manager, Women Transforming Tech: Finding Sponsors, and Cloud Concepts: Determining Your Cloud Strategy; over 250,000 learners globally Senior leadership roles at Oracle, Amazon Web Services, VMware, Automation Anywhere, and Skillsoft, building teams supporting over $2 billion in business Forbes Business Council member; contributor to Forbes, Association for Talent Development (ATD), and Thrive Global Recognitions include Woman of the Year (Women in IT Awards Silicon Valley), Silicon Valley Woman of Influence, Top 20 Thought Leader (Thinkers360), Top 100 DEI Leader (Mogul), and induction into the Alameda County Women’s Hall of Fame Biography American women hold 52 percent of professional-level jobs. They hold roughly 20 percent of executive leadership positions in US high-tech industries. The gap between those numbers is what Rashim Mogha has worked inside for two decades, first at Oracle, AWS, and VMware, then as founder of eWOW. Her #1 Amazon bestseller Fast-Track Your Leadership Career codified what she learned inside those companies. It treats career advancement as an integrated strategy. Sponsorship and personal brand are framed as concrete corporate moves, drawn from her own promotion path. The book hit number one on Amazon within eleven hours of release. eWOW, which she founded in November 2018, scaled the method beyond a single book. Its podcast reaches audiences in more than fifty countries. Her LinkedIn Learning courses, including Succeeding as a First-Time Tech Manager and Women Transforming Tech: Finding Sponsors, have been taken by more than 250,000 professionals globally. Few speakers on women’s tech leadership combine that operational depth with that audience reach. Her credibility with executive audiences sits in the specifics. Woman of the Year at the Women in IT Awards Silicon Valley. Top 20 Thought Leader by Thinkers360. Forbes Business Council member. Inducted into the Alameda County Women’s Hall of Fame. For organisations focused on the leadership pipeline rather than the talking points, that combination of operational record and external recognition is rare. Key speaking topics Women’s leadership advancement in technology Sponsorship and career advancement strategy Diversity as a talent pipeline question Leadership development for technical professionals Mindful leadership Cloud strategy and digital transformation for business leaders Future of work and corporate learning at scale Ideal for CHROs and Chief People Officers responsible for stronger leadership pipelines for women in technology Heads of DEI and Talent looking to move beyond awareness toward measurable promotion outcomes Women’s networks and ERGs inside technology, financial services, and professional services organisations L&D and learning leaders designing executive development programmes for emerging women leaders Audience outcomes The distinction between mentorship and sponsorship, and the specific moves required to convert one into the other Practical language for asking for promotion and stretch assignments A diagnostic for what is actually stalling a woman’s advancement at her current level Two operational levers HR and senior leaders can pull to shift promotion outcomes inside the next twelve months

Why organisations work with Rachel Botsman She has built a discrete intellectual territory around trust, with three named frameworks (Trust Leap, Trust Shift, Risk–Trust Lens) that give leadership teams a working vocabulary rather than a motivational concept. She holds the first Trust Fellowship at Oxford University’s Saïd Business School, a position created around the subject she defined. Few speakers in this category have a comparable academic anchor. Her thinking on AI is grounded in fifteen years of work on how humans transfer trust to new systems, which is why boards use her to pressure-test AI adoption plans before they reach the workforce. Thinkers50 ranked her among the world’s 30 most influential management thinkers and gave her the 2015 Breakthrough Idea Award, signalling that her ideas have been judged consequential by peers, not only by bureau marketing. She works directly with boards and senior executives as an advisor, so the keynote is the visible part of a deeper practice on culture and governance. Biography highlights Trust Fellow, Oxford University’s Saïd Business School, the first such fellowship at the school. Author of What’s Mine is Yours, Who Can You Trust? and How to Trust & Be Trusted; books translated into 14 languages. Three TED talks with more than 5 million combined views. Named one of the world’s 30 most influential management thinkers by Thinkers50; winner of the Thinkers50 Breakthrough Idea Award. Young Global Leader, World Economic Forum. Contributor to and subject of coverage in The New York Times, Financial Times, TIME, Wired, The Guardian and Fast Company; writer of the Rethink newsletter. Biography Most leadership crises are described as strategy problems and turn out to be trust problems. A workforce that has been through three restructures will not run faster because the new operating model is sharper. A board that has lost confidence in a CEO will not be rebuilt by a clearer plan. The active variable is whether people believe enough in the institution, the leadership, and each other to take risks on its behalf. Rachel Botsman has spent two decades turning that observation into a working discipline. As the first Trust Fellow at Oxford University’s Saïd Business School, she designed and teaches courses on trust and technology, and advises boards, senior leaders and governments on the same questions in live operating contexts. Her books, including Who Can You Trust? and How to Trust & Be Trusted, redefine trust as a confident relationship with the unknown rather than a synonym for assurance or predictability. Her named frameworks give that idea operational form. The Trust Leap explains how people move from familiar to unfamiliar behaviour, which is why it has been useful for organisations deploying AI and automating workflows. The Trust Shift maps how authority has migrated from institutions to individuals and platforms. The Risk–Trust Lens gives senior leaders a way to read where their cultures sit on the spectrum between paralysis and recklessness. Thinkers50 has ranked her among the 30 most influential management thinkers in the world and gave her its Breakthrough Idea Award. The World Economic Forum named her a Young Global Leader. Her three TED talks have been watched more than five million times. The reason her work has carried that distance is that it gives leaders something specific to do on a subject that most speakers can only describe. Key speaking topics Trust as a leadership capability Trust and AI adoption Culture and decision-making under change The Trust Shift from institutions to individuals Designing for trust in new products and systems The future of work and the social contract Authority and accountability in modern organisations Ideal for CEOs, CHROs and chief people officers leading organisations through restructure, integration, or cultural reset. Boards and risk committees evaluating AI deployment, governance, and workforce trust. Transformation, technology and product leaders responsible for adoption of new systems by employees or customers. Executive education and senior leadership programmes building common language around trust, accountability and decision-making. Audience outcomes A working definition of trust that holds up to scrutiny inside a leadership team, not a motivational phrase. A read on where the organisation sits on the risk–trust spectrum and what that implies for current decisions. A clearer view of why specific change programmes, AI rollouts, or cultural initiatives are stalling, and where the trust gap actually lives. Specific language and frameworks (Trust Leap, Trust Shift, Risk–Trust Lens) that travel from the keynote into board and executive conversations. A sharper position on how authority, accountability, and AI intersect inside the organisation over the next two to three years.

Why organisations work with Parm Sandhu A first-hand command perspective on incidents the public watched unfold, including the Lee Rigby murder in Greenwich and senior organising responsibility during the London 2012 Olympics. A serving leader’s account of how institutional culture excludes capable people, evidenced by her settled discrimination case against the Metropolitan Police and her memoir Black and Blue. Operational fluency in counter-terrorism, public order, anti-corruption and crisis response, drawn from 30 years across the Met rather than from secondary research. A current education brief as Managing Director of the London Policing College and Associate Lecturer at the University of West London, which keeps her thinking close to how leadership and ethics are actually taught to the next generation. Comfort in front of cameras and senior audiences, built from regular analysis on BBC News, Sky News, ITV News, Channel 4, Channel 5, LBC, Times Radio and Good Morning Britain. Biography highlights Former Chief Superintendent, Metropolitan Police Service; first and only Asian female officer promoted through the ranks to that grade. Borough Commander for Richmond and senior officer with operational responsibilities during the London 2012 Olympics and on duty during the Lee Rigby murder in Greenwich. Author of Black and Blue: One Woman’s Story of Policing and Prejudice, Atlantic Books, co-written with Stuart Prebble. Managing Director, London Policing College; Associate Lecturer, University of West London. Honorary Doctorate of Letters, University of West London, for contribution to public service and police education. Public Sector Award, Asian Women of Achievement Awards. Regular on-air contributor for BBC News, Sky News, ITV News, Channel 4, Channel 5, LBC, Times Radio and Good Morning Britain. Biography The Lee Rigby murder happened on a residential street in Greenwich in 2013. Parm Sandhu was the superintendent on duty. That kind of moment, where command judgement is made quickly and reviewed slowly, sits at the centre of how she thinks about leadership. Thirty years inside the Metropolitan Police gave her the operational range to back it up: counter-terrorism, anti-corruption, public order, and a senior organising role during the London 2012 Olympics. She finished as a Chief Superintendent and Borough Commander for Richmond, the first and only Asian woman in the force’s history to be promoted through the ranks to that grade. She also wrote about what it cost. Black and Blue, published by Atlantic Books with journalist Stuart Prebble, is a serving officer’s account of how institutional culture decides who gets believed and who gets through. Her later discrimination case against the Met, settled confidentially, made the same argument in a different register. Audiences hear both sides of the same career, the command decisions and the cultural ones. Today she runs the London Policing College and lectures at the University of West London, where she holds an honorary Doctorate of Letters for her contribution to public service. The combination of senior operational command, public commentary on BBC News, Sky News, ITV News and LBC, and a settled record on discrimination is rare. It is also why she lands with leadership audiences who are tired of being told that culture and performance are separate problems. Key speaking topics Crisis command and decision-making under public scrutiny Counter-terrorism and major incident leadership Institutional culture and organisational integrity Inclusive leadership in hierarchical institutions Women’s safety and violence against women and girls Resilience and personal recovery from adversity Ethics, accountability and public trust Ideal for Boards and executive committees of institutions where culture, scrutiny and public trust are commercial risks, including financial services, healthcare and regulated public bodies. Senior leadership programmes for police, military, civil service and other hierarchical organisations. CHRO and Chief People Officer audiences working on inclusion outcomes rather than inclusion communications. Conferences on women in leadership and on safeguarding, where a commander-rank perspective is genuinely uncommon. Audience outcomes A clearer sense of what command judgement actually looks like when an incident is live and the public is watching. A practical view of how culture quietly suppresses talent, and what senior leaders can do about it before it reaches a tribunal. A frame for thinking about resilience that is grounded in 30 years of operational policing rather than in self-help language. A direct, named account of how institutional discrimination operates in practice, with implications for any organisation under similar scrutiny.

Why organisations work with Liz Wiseman She runs two distinct, primary-research-backed frameworks, Multipliers and Impact Players, that name behaviours leaders can change on Monday morning, not abstractions they have to translate. Her Accidental Diminisher diagnostic gives senior leaders a mirror most are not expecting: the well-intentioned habits, rescuing, idea-spraying, pacesetting, that quietly shrink their teams. The Impact Players research, drawn from 170 executives across ten countries, isolates the behaviours of the contributors managers actually depend on, which CHROs use to recalibrate performance criteria and promotion decisions. Seventeen years inside Oracle, including VP of Oracle University, mean she frames leadership in operating terms a senior corporate audience recognises immediately. Named the top-ranked leadership thinker by Thinkers50 in 2019 and recipient of the Thinkers50 Talent Award in 2023, with continued presence on the ranking. Biography highlights CEO of The Wiseman Group, Silicon Valley leadership research and executive development firm. Author of Multipliers (New York Times bestseller), Rookie Smarts (Wall Street Journal bestseller), and Impact Players (Wall Street Journal bestseller). Thinkers50 Leadership Award winner (2019); Thinkers50 Talent Award winner (2023). Former Vice President of Oracle University and global leader for Human Resource Development across a 17-year Oracle career. Contributor to Harvard Business Review and Fortune; guest lecturer at Brigham Young University and Stanford University. Advises and speaks for clients including Apple, Disney, Google, Microsoft, Nike, Salesforce, and Tesla. Biography The leader who is the smartest person in the room is often the reason no one else in the room is contributing. Liz Wiseman’s research into what she calls Multipliers and Diminishers, published in Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter, isolates the specific habits that determine which one a manager becomes, often without realising. The Accidental Diminisher diagnostic that accompanies the work is now used by leadership teams across global corporations. Before The Wiseman Group, she spent seventeen years inside Oracle, latterly as Vice President of Oracle University and global head of Human Resource Development. That operating background runs through the work. Her frameworks are written for executives who have to act on them, not academics describing them. Impact Players, drawn from interviews with 170 executives across ten countries and surveys of 350 managers, asks a different question: what distinguishes the individual contributors that senior leaders actually rely on in high-stakes moments? The findings reshape how CHROs think about promotion, performance criteria, and the behaviours organisations should be selecting for. She was named the top-ranked leadership thinker on the Thinkers50 list in 2019 and received the Thinkers50 Talent Award in 2023. She contributes to Harvard Business Review and Fortune, and lectures at Brigham Young University and Stanford. Her client roster, Apple, Disney, Google, Microsoft, Nike, Salesforce, Tesla, reflects an unusual fact: organisations with deep internal leadership capability still bring her in. Key speaking topics Multiplier leadership and the Diminisher effect Accidental Diminisher behaviours in senior leaders Impact Players and high-contribution mindsets Leveraging collective intelligence inside teams Rookie Smarts and learning agility under uncertainty Talent identification, promotion, and performance criteria Executive development and leadership capability building Ideal for CHROs redesigning leadership development, promotion criteria, or performance frameworks CEOs and senior leadership teams reviewing how they get more from existing talent Heads of talent and L&D building enterprise leadership programmes Leadership offsites for executive committees and senior management cohorts Audience outcomes Recognition of the specific Diminisher behaviours senior leaders default to under pressure A working vocabulary for the team behaviours that drive disproportionate impact Diagnostic tools, including the Accidental Diminisher profile, that leaders can apply to their own management style Criteria for identifying and developing high-contribution individual contributors A revised view of where untapped capacity sits inside the existing workforce
