The Conscious Leadership Experience: A 1-Day Mirror for Leaders Ready to See What’s Really Holding Change Back

Uncover the unconscious patterns, protective habits, and reactive instincts that keep your team stuck—and experience what it actually feels like to lead change with clarity, trust, and confidence.

Most change strategies sound good on paper.

But behind the scenes? Projects stall. Resistance builds. Costs spiral.

And still—no one can answer the question: “Why isn’t this working?”

This experience gives you the answer. Not through a workshop. Not through theory. But through lived, real-time insight into how your leadership habits are shaping— and sometimes sabotaging—your results.

This Is for You If…

  • You're leading a change effort that just won’t gain traction

  • Your leadership team agrees in meetings—but executes in misalignment

  • Tension is rising beneath the surface, but no one’s saying it out loud

  • You suspect the old ways of leading no longer work—but don’t know what else to try

  • You want clarity, connection, and progress—without another framework, playbook, or consultancy

By the End of the Day, You Will…

  • Understand exactly how your leadership instincts shape outcomes—for better or worse

  • Recognise how fear-based behaviours like control, over-explaining, or indecision are showing up

  • Feel the emotional and cultural cost of reactive leadership in real-time

  • See the root of your resistance—not just your team’s

  • Walk away with 2–3 practical experiments your team can run immediately to shift dynamics and build trust

This isn’t an assessment. It’s not another diagnostic. It’s a direct, embodied look at what happens when pressure hits—and how you respond.

Here’s What the Day Includes

Pre-Session Coaching

Each senior leader receives a 1:1 coaching call before the event to surface what’s really going on—so we tailor the experience to your context.

Reflection & Coaching

Understand how your nervous system responds to uncertainty—and why it drives control, perfectionism, or avoidance unless interrupted consciously.

Neuroscience of Change

Face a scenario under pressure—budget tension, team breakdown, or strategic conflict—and watch your own patterns come to life in real time.

Design & Test a New Approach

Run the same scenario again—this time with conscious awareness and a new mindset. See what shifts. Feel what opens.

Live Leadership Simulation

We don’t just analyse what went wrong—we help you understand why it happened, what it reveals, and how to shift it.

Walk Away With Experiments

Take home 2–3 low-risk, high-impact actions your team can implement immediately—starting change from the inside out.

What Others Are Saying

“She makes the complex clear.”

Charles Symonds – CEO, Alirity Consulting

“I have worked with Kathy on a number of occasions having been involved in challenging change programmes that she was leading. Her key strengths lie in her ability to take the complex and make sense of it all, working tightly with senior stakeholders to take them on the change journey. Kathy has a wealth of experience and a unique set of skills that I have found invaluable.”

“One of the most inspiring senior leaders I’ve worked with.”

Phillip Feingold – Change Director and Consultant

“I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Kathy. She inspires people to deliver, helps leaders focus on outcomes rather than steps, and truly cares about doing the right thing. I would relish the opportunity to work with Kathy anytime!”

“Delivered on time and under budget.”

Woody Ruane – Finance Director, John Lewis (now Currys)

“I worked with Kathy on changing the Pension Benefit proposition at JLP. She led the programme to come in on time and under budget. It involved complex systems implementation, operating model change, and board-level stakeholder management. Kathy brings together robust delivery discipline with a mindset of coaching and development—an effective combination.”

“Leadership that made the difference.”

Anonymous Executive Letter – Pensions Implementation Programme

“You set the programme up brilliantly—from governance to recruitment to setting a culture of delivery. Your leadership helped us navigate complexity with care, humour, and authority. The programme has impacted every single Partner and played a critical role in the financial sustainability of the business. Please don’t lose sight of how important your role has been.”

“A strong leader who inspires change.”

Ken Leung – Interim Transformation Design Director

“Kathy is a strong leader who understands what it takes to help an organisation make a step-change in the way they operate. She is a consummate professional and an inspiring leader who engages well at the C-suite level while also creating the right environment for her team to succeed. I would work with Kathy at the drop of a hat.”

“Clarity, trust, and real results.”

Lesley Bayston – Change Director, AXA Life and Pensions

“Kathy joined AXA as an interim Programme Director and quickly brought clarity and trust to senior stakeholders. Her ability to explain complex things simply builds confidence at all levels. She challenged the organisation to focus on real outcomes and quickly built a strong team. I would happily work with her again.”

Most leadership events give you a checklist.

This one gives you a mirror.

You’ll see what’s been hiding beneath the strategy.

You’ll feel the impact of unconscious behaviours—your own and your team’s.

And you’ll experience the difference when trust, not control, becomes the foundation for change.

This isn’t a warm-up for the "real" transformation. It is the first step in transformation.
