A Place to Think… A Place to Create … A Place to Act…

We design and deliver bespoke leadership development experiences for teams and individuals — grounded in the belief that great leadership starts with inner balance, clarity, and authenticity. We speak regularly at conferences on the Stone Stack approach, and currently run a range of in-house and open programmes across the public and private sectors. For the past few years, we’ve hosted open leadership programmes and action learning groups at the beautiful Yorkshire Sculpture Park, offering leaders space to reflect, connect, and find their wisdom. We’re also developing a suite of stand-alone leadership programmes through The My Flying Coach App — making our tools for balance and brave leadership more accessible than ever.

Wisdom at YSP

Over the last few months, my colleague Jane Gaukroger and I have been exploring how we can deepen and expand the leadership development work we offer at Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP). Surrounded by natural beauty and creative expression, YSP provides a unique setting for reflection, clarity and meaningful change. We’re now looking to grow this into a broader programme — including leadership retreats, coaching circles, and masterclasses — all centred on the themes of balance and wisdom in leadership and life. If you’re interested in partnering with us, attending future events, or helping us shape what could become a Centre for Leading with Balance and Wisdom, we’d love to hear from you.

Finding Your Wings

This is a stand alone programme available via our app.

It is designed for adults and young people who are trying to make a decision about what to do next in life. This program can be started any time and you can go at your own pace. It brings together all the wisdom and ideas from thousands of coaching hours. It encourages you to identify what you are passionate about, challenge your assumptions about what might be possible, let go of the things that might be holding you back, create small actions towards your next adventure and learn to trust yourself, others and the process more.

It’s an opportunity to pause and find your balance before you move on. 

It will guide you towards figuring out what you feel inspired to do next and then help you to move towards that decision.

In our lives, we have many adventures – sometimes we make the right choices for us, sometimes we get it wrong.

Whatever you choose to do next, this course ensures it will be based on a stronger sense of purpose.

Bespoke In House Leadership Development Programmes

I work with trusted colleagues to design and deliver bespoke leadership programmes that are grounded in a coaching approach and tailored to your organisation’s needs. Whether delivered virtually or in person, locally or globally, each programme draws on the Stone Stack framework and integrates a range of tools and techniques to spark deep reflection, build capability, and create lasting impact. No two programmes are the same — because no two teams are.

“The whole programme was such a success because of two key elements – great participants and great facilitators/coaches/speakers.  You are all true professionals that have been a delight to work with. Many thanks to you all for the time and commitment you gave to part 1 of the programme.  I’m looking forward to working on part 2 – although the bar has well and truly been set!”
