I’m a leadership specialist with 30 years experience in leadership and executive development at the BBC, Motorola, Rolls-Royce, Kenya Airways, Syngenta, Serco and General Motors.

Over time, leadership has become more authentic, self-aware and empowering, more purpose-driven, emotionally intelligent and collaborative.

With the arrival of AI, leadership is becoming even more human.

I design, host and facilitate purposeful, inquiry-led conversations teams who want to use their collective Human Intelligence when they get together and talk. I also work with leaders who want to build their Human Leadership premium.

The rise of AI has brought with it a fervent interest in our own Human Intelligence.

We’ve been improving it for years. But this time, it’s not about individual brilliance. It’s about the collective intelligence that outperforms it.

In collaborative problem-solving, collective intelligence outperforms individual expertise. Using it requires an adjustment in the conversational dialogue we use when they get together and talk.

Done well, teams pay more attention to one another, they take turns more often, everyone speaks, and we build more on each other’s ideas rather than just presenting our own.
