They Who Lead Series
He Who Leads & She Who Leads Series
A Reset for Leaders Under Pressure
This series is designed for those carrying intense leadership loads, in business and in life. Whether it's people leadership, organisational growth, financial pressure, family roles, or emotional labour, the weight is real. These are not surface-level workshops, but are a structured reset that introduces three practical frameworks to help you hold complexity, lead with clarity, and prevent burnout.
Three Transformational Intensives
Each series includes three powerful 2-day intensives. Developed through years of experience working with leaders under pressure, this series is crafted to support those managing far more than most people ever see. You will learn tested formulas that shift the patterns quietly eroding your leadership performance—so you can lead under pressure and still thrive.
Frameworks Rooted in Self-Leadership
At the heart of this series is a simple truth: leadership capacity isn't just what you know, it is how you hold what you are carrying. These frameworks introduce my most recent body of work, grounded in self-leadership. Since 2018, I have been developing and testing proven frameworks in organisational development and transformational change across sectors. This series brings that same depth into the personal space: formulas that help you lead yourself as clearly and effectively as you lead others.
Why Separate Streams?
These courses are shaped by the latest insights from neuroscience which show that under pressure, the male and female brain can tend to draw on different strengths. Focus patterns, nervous system load, emotional processing all shape the way we lead and learn under pressure, and how we recover.
And let’s be honest: Most women dream of a retreat on Waiheke, whereas men might prefer something they can fly into, get done, and get back to it. So that is exactly how I have designed these! The content is the same. The environment is designed for how that content lands best.
