When organisations grow, leadership and culture don’t always keep up.

I provide leadership and organisational diagnostics for established SMEs, helping senior teams understand what’s really happening beneath the surface and stabilise performance during periods of growth or change.

Empower Insight.

Transform Behaviour.

Elevate Performance.

Growing organisations often reach a point where what once worked no longer does.

Decision-making becomes slower or more conflicted.
Senior teams feel less aligned.
Engagement dips, trust erodes, or difficult issues go unspoken.

These challenges are rarely about strategy alone. They are usually rooted in leadership behaviour, team dynamics, and how safe it feels to challenge, disagree, and make decisions under pressure.

I work with founders, CEOs, and senior leadership teams to diagnose these issues clearly and address them in a grounded, evidence-based way.

How I Work

A diagnostic-led approach

Rather than applying generic leadership or culture programmes, I help organisations understand the underlying factors shaping behaviour, performance, and decision-making — and then determine what action is genuinely needed.

This approach brings:

  • clarity where things feel vague or stuck

  • confidence in where to focus effort

  • alignment across senior leaders

  • a credible basis for change

Coaching and development then follow as targeted support, not assumptions.

Who I Work With

I typically work with:

  • Established SMEs (£5–50m turnover)

  • Founders, CEOs, and Managing Directors

  • Senior leadership teams navigating growth or transition

  • Organisations where leadership capability has not kept pace with scale

My background spans organisational development, leadership, assessment, and coaching in high-pressure, regulated, and complex environments.

Leadership & Culture Diagnostic

A structured, psychologically informed diagnosis of leadership behaviour, team dynamics, and organisational culture.

Designed for established SMEs experiencing:

  • rapid growth or increasing complexity

  • tension or misalignment at senior level

  • erosion of trust, candour, or accountability

  • cultural dilution as the organisation scales

The diagnostic typically includes leadership interviews, assessment of decision-making and behavioural patterns, and a clear insight report with practical recommendations.
