The Steps to Systemically Solve Your Internal Challenges

Leading in a world of change: insights from The Talent Gathering 2025
This week, I was lucky enough to attend The Talent Gathering at Murrayfield in Edinburgh. It’s the second time I’ve been and, once again, I left full of ideas. Three talks in particular have stayed with me. Very different speakers, very different stories, but all offering perspectives on how we can adapt, lead, and perform in a world where both human and technological change are accelerating and where we never quite know what’s around the corner. John Crossan, Culture Impa

Team coaching: Unlocking the potential of high performing teams
It’s a pattern we see a lot: leaders set out a well-thought-out and sound strategy, yet a year down the line, they’re chasing their tails trying to work out why they’ve moved no closer to their goals. What they don’t realise is that the problem is usually invisible . A failed attempt to execute a strategy is likely due to a gap between the strategy that's been set out and the culture that drives the beliefs , interactions, and decisions the people in the company make.

What the Premier League Table can teach us about culture
There’s a story unfolding in Premier League football that isn’t about transfers, tactics, or trophies. It’s about culture. And it’s not being told by managers, players, or the press, but by sentiment data. This puts evidence behind a topic that we usually have to guess at. One that media coverage can easily skew our views in favour of or against, a club… What is the culture of a given club really like? And if you’re into culture, as we are, is there a link between their int

Beyond leadership mindsets: driving transformation through behavioural change
When Kim Scott introduced her Radical Candor model, the intention was clear: to help leaders deliver direct, timely feedback with equal measures of courage and compassion. The idea was simple yet powerful: challenge directly while caring personally. Get the balance right, and you create a high-trust, high-performance environment where people grow and thrive. But that’s not what happened in many organisations. Instead, the term Radical Candor became a justification for

Culture Change Starts with Seeing Differently
Marcel Proust once wrote, “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” When it comes to culture change, this couldn’t be more true. Transformation isn’t just about new strategies or systems, it’s about shifting perspectives. Mindsets Shape Reality Our mindsets act as invisible filters, shaped by past experiences and beliefs. They help us make quick decisions, but they also lock us into familiar ways of thinking. When we rely
