The Boardroom Collision Point That Changes Everything
We don’t just step into a Boardroom.
We step into power dynamics, unspoken norms, organisational history, and established tones — many of which have existed long before we walked in.
And we bring ourselves too.
Our nervous system.
Our values.
Our patterns of self-protection.
Our past experiences — the good, the bruising, and the deeply formative.
This is the intersection I work in.
And it's where behavioural governance truly lives —
⚡ Not in documents or frameworks alone,
⚡ But in the collision point between the environments we lead in and the humans we are while leading.
This space is rarely spoken about — but deeply felt.
It shows up in moments like:
Saying “yes” when your gut says “no”
Holding back a crucial observation because the power dynamics feel too steep
Shapeshifting to match the room, then leaving feeling misaligned or resentful
Silently asking yourself: “Why didn’t I say what I really meant?”
If any of that resonates, know you’re not alone.
And you’re not broken — you’re adaptive.
But adaptive doesn’t always mean aligned.
I’m a self-confessed pracademic.
Everything I teach, I’ve lived.
And everything I help Boards navigate is grounded in research — from interpersonal neurobiology and adult development theory to the psychodynamics of leadership and systemic coaching practices.
That’s why my approach to governance doesn’t just look at structures or responsibilities.
It looks at who we are while we're leading, deciding, and influencing outcomes.
So what do we do with this insight?
We practice.
We recalibrate.
We reflect — not just on the rooms we’re in, but who we become inside them.

If you’re craving a space to explore this deeper with people who get it, you’re invited to:
✅ Join a Governance Collective Sounding Circle, Executive Forum or Boardroom Roundtable
Sounding Circles – for Governance Stewards and Company Secretaries
Executive Forums – for Managing Directors and CEOs
Boardroom Roundtables – for Chairs and Directors
Each space is confidential, brave, and carefully held — for aligned leaders navigating complex Boardroom dynamics.
