Empower your leadership with energised, talent-based leadership development.

Leadership development for CEOs & owner-managers | Energy & performance | CROPS

When you want to lead with high energy - and deliver results that last.

Many CEOs, directors and owner-managers are on top of their business - but still find themselves expending more energy than necessary. Everyday life is filled with demands, expectations and crucial decisions, and it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain overview, direction and mental capacity as the pace and complexity increase.

I help you use your energy as a targeted management resource. Not by cutting back - but by using it precisely on the decisions and efforts that really move results, organisation and levels.

In the programmes, we work with talent-based leadership development. We take your strengths, your talent profile (e.g. your FirstMind leader profile) and your leadership style - and the way you bring energy into play in decisions, meetings, prioritisations and responsibilities. The goal is to make you a proactive energy leader: a leader who sets direction, increases impact and maintains momentum - even when the pressure is high and the stakes are high.

As a business coach, mental coach and performance coach, I get involved in both your leadership and your business. We connect your personal energy directly to the results you want to create, giving you the strength and energy to shine in spaces where demands are high and the margin for error is small.

It's not about becoming like others - it's about becoming a sharper version of yourself, using your strengths consciously and leading with energy that creates calm, focus and momentum.

Being able to set a clear direction and framework - while delegating responsibility so that others can deliver at a high level without you having to carry it all yourself.

The basic idea is simple: Time is a constraint. Energy is an opportunity.

This means that as a manager you get...

Self-awareness and strength-based leadership

- Precise clarity on what drives you, so you use your strengths strategically and turn them into a concrete performance asset in your management and business.

Energy that works

- precise overview of what drains and what lifts, so you manage your energy as a strategic resource and maintain pace, focus and momentum without wearing yourself down.

Decisiveness and focus

- You make faster and more informed decisions, stay focused on data, direction and yourself, and avoid the detours that cost speed, energy and results.

Impact and facilitationg

- You lead with clarity, set clear frameworks and drive meetings and collaboration so that others take responsibility, execute and raise the level throughout the organisation.

Results that last

- You create steady progress and development because you lead with precise energy, strength-based focus and integrity - raising both your own and others' levels over time.

Who is the leadership development for?

The leadership development programme is for those who have the highest level of responsibility - and can feel that the demands on both you and the business have moved up a level.

CEOs, directors and owner-managers of ambitious companies
Founders and partners in growing and changing businesses
Leaders who have moved closer to the board - and need to take their leadership to the next level

Typically, you're in a place where:

You're pressed for capacity and realise that current ways of working don't scale
You feel that your current energy consumption doesn't match the level you want to perform at
You want to move out of the operations role and lead more on direction, prioritisation and performance
You want to create results through others - not solve everything yourself
You can feel that energy, time and focus have become a critical resource
Your leadership team and key profiles need to be elevated so they can take on more responsibility

In a nutshell: Leadership Development is for those who want to elevate their level of leadership - with greater self-awareness, more stable energy and clearer impact in the rooms where the stakes are high.

This is what a programme can look like

All programmes are tailored to you and your role - but the structure often follows the same simple, effective framework:

Clarification & energy status
Sharp clarification of your situation, role and goals. First picture of your energy bill: where is energy lost, where are your strongest drivers - and where can you maximise your impact.

FirstMind leader profile & feedback
You complete a FirstMind test and we review your strength profile: strengths, energy sources, blindspots, motivational factors and normal behaviour under pressure. This will be your personal basis for deciding where you lead most strongly - and where you are typically challenged.

Concrete focus areas in your management
The insights are translated into a few sharp focus areas - e.g. decisions, meetings, collaboration, boundaries, communication. Here we connect your personal energy drivers directly to your everyday life and business goals. Typically organised in a course of 4-6 sessions.

Ongoing executive coaching
Regular sessions (online or in person) where we work with current cases, relationships and dilemmas from your everyday life. You get concrete tools and new approaches to test between each session. You follow my online OPEN NEXT LEVEL training, whenever it suits you. I am your coach, sparring partner and challenger - typically in programmes of 10 sessions or more.

Monthly check-in
For those who want to maintain level and momentum. A regular space to adjust focus, hold you accountable on your priorities and be challenged in your leadership upwards, sideways and downwards. I send material to sharpen reflection and next steps.

Possibly leadership team, TeamStrength programme or partner programme
Your leadership or key team is engaged with individual and FirstMind team profiles and a common language for strengths, energy and blindspots. Typically a team session with individual sessions before - and follow-up team sessions that ensure behaviour and collaboration are truly elevated.

Speech, lecture or course
You and your team are looking for inspiration, insight or learning so that increased self-awareness and enhanced collaboration go hand in hand.

The goal is not a “nice course” - but lasting changes in how you lead, prioritise and use your energy so that the way you approach your role matches the level you want to perform at.
