Useful ideas on strategy, leadership, and how teams really work, sent straight to your inbox. Subscribe to the weekly newsletter, or take one of my free email courses on a single subject. No spam, only goodness.
The flagship newsletter, the same name as the book it grows out of. Once a week I write about getting teams aligned, drawn from the rooms I have been in and the work I am doing on the book.
No round-ups, no links to other people's content, no filler. One idea, written to be worth the few minutes it takes to read.
Each course is a finite, pre-written series. Sign up once and the emails arrive a few days apart, then stop. A complete short course on a single subject, delivered to your inbox, free. Take as many as you like.
How to think clearly about direction. Reading the landscape, making real choices, and knowing what to step back from. The foundation everything else depends on.
Leading a team rather than chairing it. Executive behaviour, presence, and the difficult conversations. For people stepping into bigger roles, or leading teams they inherited.
The invisible mechanics of a team that works. Decision rights, collaboration, trust, and meetings that earn their place. For leaders whose teams are busy but not quite aligned.
The unwritten rules that decide how a team really behaves. Values, psychological safety, and the habits that make or break a working environment.
How a team is understood, inside and out. Internal brand, narrative, and showing the rest of the company the value you create. The area most leaders neglect.
An applied strategy course, built on my Strategic Intent framework. For a leader heading into planning, or anyone who wants to think more strategically in their role.
Learn how to sharpen your feedback skills, with the tools, frameworks and practice to foster a culture of open dialogue and continuous improvement.
Learn how resilience works, recognise your own patterns under pressure, and build the habits that sustain performance, for yourself and the people around you.
Explore how change lands for you and others, considering the uncertainty, frustration and opportunity it brings, and what it takes to move forward, together.
Subscribe to the weekly newsletter, take any of the nine courses, or do both. Your choices are yours to change at any time.
Each course sends its emails every few days until it finishes, then stops. That's it. No drip that never ends, and nothing to cancel when it is done.
Every email has a one-click unsubscribe. Your address is never shared or sold.
If your team has a real question in front of it right now, a conversation will get you further than any email course. Either way, no pressure.
