Insight to Impact: Founder and CEO Deep Leadership Development

Insight to Impact is a deep leadership development pathway for founders, CEOs and senior leaders who are carrying significant responsibility, and know that how they lead now shapes outcomes as much as what they deliver.

This is not coaching for motivation or reassurance.
It is disciplined, evidence‑based work focused on how leadership is experienced by others, and where that experience either enables or limits trust, performance, and culture.

Grounded in robust 360° diagnostics and sustained, one‑to‑one work with me, Insight to Impact supports leaders to see clearly, shift self‑limiting patterns, and lead with greater authority, coherence, and impact, even under pressure.

Why serious leaders choose this work

Most leaders don’t need more information. They need space to think clearly, honest feedback they can trust, and support to change patterns that once worked, but now limit impact.

When Insight to Impact is timely

This work is often timely when capability is not the issue — but impact, sustainability, or alignment are starting to drift.

• You may recognise one or more of the following:

• You’re carrying a level of responsibility that no longer feels sustainable, and decisions take more effort than they should

• Feedback from others is careful, partial, or arrives too late to be useful

• You remain effective, but the system around you feels strained, brittle, or overly dependent on you

• Your leadership intent and values are clear, yet the impact you’re seeing doesn’t consistently match them

• The organisation is growing, restructuring, or under pressure — and your role has shifted faster than your leadership habits

Insight to Impact is designed for leaders who are prepared to look beneath behaviour, not polish it, and take responsibility for the impact they create.

The purpose of Insight to Impact

Insight to Impact is designed for leaders who are prepared to look beneath behaviour, not polish it,  and take responsibility for the impact they create.

This is not skills training or surface-level development. It is a structured, insight-led process that helps leaders:

• see the patterns shaping their leadership and the system around them

• understand how pressure, role design, and assumptions are influencing performance

• make deliberate choices about how they lead, decide, and share responsibility

• translate insight into measurable shifts in leadership effectiveness, team accountability, and organisational health

The focus is not on doing more, but on leading differently, so clarity, capability, and momentum are no longer dependent on one person carrying the load.

How this differs from coaching

Most executive coaching focuses on reflection, goal‑setting, and support.

Insight to Impact is different.

This work is:

• Diagnostic‑led, not assumption‑led behaviour is examined through rigorous 360° data, not self‑report alone

• Focused on impact, not intention, how leadership is experienced is the primary reference point

• Psychologically grounded, we work with the underlying beliefs and habits that drive behaviour under pressure

• Sustained and accountable, change is supported over time, not left to insight alone

Across organisations, these patterns often sit alongside broader challenges: low or uneven engagement, leadership misalignment, under- or over-performance within teams, and the need to accelerate and retain capable talent.

This is not for leaders seeking affirmation, motivational language, or performative culture work.

If you subscribe to passionate lip service, leadership theatre, or borrowed language without behavioural follow‑through, I’m not for you.

The core of the work

At the heart of Insight to Impact is The Leadership Circle Profile™, one of the most comprehensive leadership diagnostics available, and a core part of my work with senior leaders.

Unlike traditional 360s, it measures both:

• Creative leadership competencies, how leaders achieve results, relate, think systemically, and lead with integrity

• Reactive leadership tendencies, the underlying beliefs and habits that drive over‑control, people‑pleasing, perfectionism, distance, or burnout under pressure

By connecting patterns of behaviour with underlying habits of thought, leaders gain insight into what is driving their impact, and where choice and change are possible.

This creates leverage for development that is deep, practical, and sustainable.
