Programmes
Connection, trust, and belonging don’t automatically happen when we lead through screens, across time zones, and borders. Many capable leaders quietly find that connection takes more effort than it used to. My work focuses on helping leaders be more deliberate about the relationships that sustain them, personally and professionally. If you’re ready to be more intentional about your relational world, there are two formats available depending on the depth and support you’re looking for.
Connection by Design:
A Social Wealth Program for Remote and Expat Leaders
Design a relational life that actually supports you - across borders, time zones, and life transitions.
This work is for you if connection feels hard - across time zones, life moves, and leadership demands - and you’re ready to be more deliberate about the relationships that sustain you. Connection by Design is grounded in four years of applied research into the social health and social wealth of leaders.
Together, we explore:
Who genuinely restores and supports you in this chapter of life
Where connection feels nourishing - and where it quietly drains you
How leadership, mobility and life transitions reshape your relational needs
What simple, repeatable rituals help you feel supported, trusted and socially secure.
This is relational design, not productivity work.
The aim is not more connection - but better, more aligned connection.
This programme helps leaders build realistic rituals of connection into their lives and work, so they feel socially supported, less scattered, and better resourced to lead high-trust teams.
Participants often leave with:
Greater trust, belonging and confidence in their relationships
Stronger support networks within and beyond work
Clearer boundaries around who and what deserves their energy
Relational habits that protect their wellbeing long term
A renewed sense that connection can feel easier, and more reciprocal..

Two formats for different leadership needs
VIP Intensive Day
A private, high-focus day to redesign your social ecosystem and relational priorities.
Best suited to leaders at a transition point who want rapid clarity and decisive action.
Ideal if you want:
A fast but rigorous reset
Personalised, high-touch guidance
Clear relational priorities and rituals in a single day
A strategic roadmap you can implement immediately.
For leaders who are ready to be more intentional about the relationships that sustain them.
Social Ecosystem Clarity Session
A focused, one-off strategic session designed for leaders who want a clear picture of their current relational landscape before committing to deeper work.
During this 45 minute session, I will ask you a series of evidence-based questions, that will help you to map the people, groups and spaces shaping your life and leadership.
Many leaders see their social ecosystem clearly for the first time.
Within a week, you receive:
A personalised visual map of your social ecosystem
A short, tailored action list highlighting high-impact shifts
A recommendation on whether deeper relational design work would be valuable for your current chapter
This session is reflective, practical and insight-rich.
Designed to create clarity, not pressure.
12-Week Programme (flagship)
A facilitated relational redesign journey delivered in a private container or small cohort.
This format allows insights to be tested, refined, and integrated into real life and leadership.
Ideal if you want:
Ongoing support and accountability
Peer insight from other thoughtful leaders
Time to experiment and adjust
Sustainable, long-term change rather than a quick reset.
Not sure what’s right for you?
If you’re feeling curious but unsure which option fits your current chapter, you’re welcome to reach out. I’ll help you think it through - no pressure, no obligation.
