Leadership, fine-tuned.

Good leaders are never finished.

10 years alongside the directors of Feadship. Applied psychologist and Gallup certified Strengths coach. 

I work with leaders in the superyacht industry and their teams. I challenge your thinking before you decide and help your and your team grow.

When to call me

You'll recognise the moment.

  • You want to test your thinking before the board does.
  • A reorganisation is coming, and you want your people with you from the start.
  • Someone has just stepped into a management role and is still finding their feet yet.
  • You got through the season, but it cost you or your team more than it should have.

Often it's more than one. Tell me which.

Inside the superyacht industry. Trained in people.

Ways to work together

A SOUNDING BOARD

 

Someone who knows the industry and has no stake in the outcome. I ask questions and test assumptions, so a good plan gets sharper before it goes to the board. And I look at what it means for the people who have to carry it out. 

In practice:

  • Sharpening a board presentation or a difficult conversation
  • Testing a strategy, a new market or a reorganisation
  • Bringing two departments with different interests to a workable agreement

THE PEOPLE SIDE OF BUSINESS

 

What helps people do their best work, and what wears them down. I start from what people already do well, based on applied psychology and CliftonStrengths. For you as a leader, or for your whole team.

In practice:

  • A development track for a manager who has just stepped up
  • Mapping a team's strengths before a restructure
  • Working with someone close to burnout, before it turns into absence

Diana challenges my thinking, which can be confronting sometimes but it is exactly what I need to gain a better perspective.

Ways to work together

01.

FOR YOUR DECISIONS

One sounding board session about a strategy, a decision or a situation. Afterwards you get my written take: where you stand, and what would help next. If you'd like that every month, we can make it ongoing.

02.

FOR YOUR TEAM

Two days built on CliftonStrengths. Everyone sees what they and their colleagues do best, and how to use it. After a long season, before a restructure, or when a team is new.

03.

FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP

Three to four months on your own leadership, or that of a manager on your team. New in the role or leading for years. We start from your strengths profile and meet regularly.
