not in the shadows
Hiding your value isn’t humility – it’s a missed opportunity. Here’s what I stand for, why I stay behind the spotlight and the kind of leader I build for.

two sides of the same coin
Leadership isn’t about more information. It’s about better questions. That’s why The Project doesn’t take place in a boardroom and why Paul Spiers’ podcast doesn’t sound like every other one out there.

Leadership That Outlasts You
The best leaders don’t build dependency.
They build legacy.

the Marmite of leadership development
Why not just create something everyone likes? Because when you try to please everyone, you end up satisfying no one.
Let’s Be Honest About ROI
When a leadership experience doesn’t happen in a classroom, how do you put a price on it? You let the numbers speak for themselves.

The Leadership Journey Has No Final Stop
Leadership at the top can be lonely. Not because no one’s around, but because the signposts disappear. The higher you go, the less guidance you get. And that’s where The Project begins: where the map ends.

Executive Presence Isn’t Magic
Executive presence is often misunderstood as confidence. It’s actually congruence. You walk into a room and people feel your clarity.

If You’re Not Visible, Are You Leading?
Leadership doesn’t need to be loud. But it does need to be seen.
In uncertain times, your presence matters more than your performance.

why we created the project
At senior levels, traditional leadership programmes often fail to inspire. PowerPoints, platitudes and personality assessments can only take you so far. The Project was born from a shared frustration and a belief that something more impactful is possible.

When Was the Last Time You Truly Stopped?
We move fast. We lead fast. But the clarity comes in the pause. The Project is designed to help you reclaim that pause and hear your own thinking again.
