01
Pre-Engagement Phase
This phase begins with a short call to cover the basics: date, time, budget, fees, and the aim of your event.
If it is a good fit, we will hold follow-up conversations to map out your goals, explore your role as a leader, your organisation’s culture, objectives, purpose for the event, and the wider industry context.
You will then receive a tailored proposal with a clear strategy and plan.
02
Main Content Delivery Phase
This phase is about building engagement before the event. Options include executive interviews, surveys, polls, teaser videos, blog posts, or social media to create anticipation and get participants involved early.
I draw on experience, psychology, and neuroscience to prepare teams for the mindset strong leadership requires. Each event is tailored to your industry so it feels relevant and practical, and attendees leave with the skills to lead effectively and build high performing teams.
03
Post Event Phase
The final stage is follow up. Beyond feedback forms or surveys, we can organise follow up calls or webinars with live Q&A, or provide videos, audios, or written content for on-demand learning. I also offer online courses, including my twice-yearly Leadership Mindset programme.
