At certain points in life, the old answers stop working.
What once felt clear begins to feel clouded.
Something in you knows you need to make a change, but you aren’t quite sure what’s right, or which way to turn.
The Breakthrough Course is a four-session, 3 month exploration designed for these moments, whether you’re contemplating a career change, personal growth, or something in between.
What makes this course different: Clarity. Confidence. A way forward.
As the first cohort drew to a close, they revealed why this experience stands apart.
A remarkable mix of senior leaders, creative thinkers, entrepreneurs, and coaches came together with courage, honesty, and openness. They didn’t just take the course: they helped shape it.
What they discovered:
- A reconnection with parts of themselves that ambition, responsibility, or pace had silenced, in a structured yet open space.
- A unique framework that honours both the strategic and the human.
- The clarity and tools to let go of what may no longer be true, uncover what matters most… and make the change happen.
This isn’t a motivational sprint or a quick fix.
It’s a deliberate, deeply supportive journey rooted in experience, reflection, and practical insight, built from:
- My work as an Associate Fellow at Oxford, teaching strategy, innovation and leadership,
- My role as a Senior Advisor & Fellowship Faculty Member at The Centre for Democracy & Peace,
- My background in Cognitive Psychology and Systems Thinking,
- The 30+ years I’ve spent in global C‑suite roles in commercial & humanitarian sectors,
- Hundreds of hours, guiding hundreds of clients, friends, and colleagues through meaningful transitions.
Now the next chapter begins: October 2025 Cohorts - now open for applications
- 4 intensive live virtual sessions over 3 months (1.5 hours each)
- The Breakthrough Book (printable PDF + editable digital edition)
- Structured, focused work between sessions
- Your own Action Partner (because insight often happens between sessions)

(The price was set on the basis of the first cohort’s inputs and on how much they thought the Breakthrough Course was worth, which was much higher than this figure).
