Shadow Working

Leadership isn't taught in a classroom.

I work alongside your managers, in their real day, on their real problems. I show, I challenge, I support, and I help each person find and strengthen their own leadership style.

01Show, don't tell

I won't do the job for your people. I'll show them how, so the skills stay in your business long after I've gone.

02Challenge and be challenged

An honest, direct approach. I push people outside their comfort zone, and I'm happy to be pushed back.

03Real-world experience

Apprentice, site manager, contracts manager, director. I've made the decisions your managers are facing, and learned the lessons the hard way.

Services

Better managers. Stronger teams. A better business.

Every programme is built around your business and delivered by me personally.

What clients say

Don't just take my word for it.

What really sets Nick apart is the energy, enthusiasm and positivity he brings to the table. His approach is infectious, and he has a natural ability to lift the people around him, motivate teams and create a genuine sense of excitement about what can be achieved. He challenges existing ways of thinking, encourages people to step outside their comfort zones and brings out strengths in individuals that they may not even recognise themselves.

Nick brings an honest approach and is not afraid to challenge or be challenged. He came up with a tailored strategy to encourage, mentor and shape each manager, calling upon his wealth of experience, enthusiasm and energy to bring out the best in the management team. This has been totally invaluable. We have gained a wealth of knowledge that we can now utilise and grow.
