Working with individuals
Leadership development programmes
For good reason, organisations promote their best people into management.
But the technical skills that got them there might not help them motivate and retain your best people.
Left to chance, this risks poor managers, which makes employees 4x more likely to leave.
The good news: management is a skill that can be learned, not a fixed personality trait.
I run two programmes that build the kind of managers people want to work for, and stay for.
“I valued Matt’s deep expertise in learning and effective facilitation”
Building high-trust relationships
A great fit if you want to deepen your pool of leadership and give your potential or existing managers clarity on how to build strong relationships without burning out or backing off.
Modules
Self-aware leadership: Understand your default leadership style and understand how it lands on others.
Leave with a style diagnostic and one specific adjustment to make this week.
Delegation and adaptive leadership: Adjust your leadership to meet people’s needs and delegate control without losing direction.
Leave with a delegation plan for a real task: what, why, boundaries, and support.
Coaching for capability: Learn how to ask the right questions that lead people through conversation, not micro management.
Leave with a mapped coaching conversation and a set of questions to use.
Feedback as fuel: Get better at driving performance by saying the things that matter with clarity and care.
Leave with a feedback plan and a set of conversation starters.
Career conversations that retain: Have the conversations that make good people want to stay and grow with you.
Leave with a career plan template and three questions to open a real conversation.
Leading high-trust teams
For leaders ready to turn individual talent into collective performance, these modules give leaders the tools to build trust with intention, rather than leaving it to chance.
Modules
A foundation of psychological safety: Learn how to build the condition of safety, which makes high performance possible.
Leave with a start, stop, continue assessment to apply immediately.
From individual talent to team performance: How groups become teams and why it doesn't happen by accident.
Leave with a set of team norms and a facilitation plan to introduce them.
Clarity, coordination & trust in modern teams: Practical tools for teams that are complex, always busy and rarely in the same room.
Leave with a structured plan to define, diagnose, and solve business challenges.
Decisions, direction and letting go: How teams decide and move forward with ownership, input and communication.
Leave with a decision map for an upcoming choice.
Managing tension productively: Lean into conflict as a feature of high performing teams, not a failure of leadership.
Leave with a restorative conversation plan for a live tension in their team.

Need something you don’t see here?
I can build a specific session for you. We’ll scope together and I’ll quote a fixed price upfront.
I’ll ask you to describe the problem you need to solve and plan the session from there. That's exactly the kind of conversation I love.
Seeking discounts for a charity or public service? I offer reduced rates. Let’s talk.
Case studies of my work
Leadership development at Nesta Group
I led a programme to develop common leadership language across 350+ staff. Attendees self reported a 28% increase in confidence to identify a leadership style that engages teams.
Train-the-trainer programme with the UK Government
A 5-day, RCT-proven programme that built the confidence and network of 200 government analysis to teach technical skills. The attendees then taught 2,400 of their colleagues across 12+ departments.
Let’s talk.
If you’re not yet sure where to start, let’s discuss the challenge you are trying to solve, and work backwards from there.
That's exactly the kind of conversation I love.
