Percolate to accelerate your leadership effectiveness

Secret insights to leadership transformation that accelerate your business impact
Lately, I’ve been deeply involved in coaching globally dispersed leadership teams to enhance their effectiveness by identifying new ways of collaborating.
One thing I’ve learned through this work is that transformation doesn’t happen overnight. Sometimes, it takes time to absorb, reflect, and truly internalise what’s being asked of you.
💡That’s where the power of percolating comes in.
In coaching and leadership development, creating the space to pause, reflect, and let new ideas sink in is essential but often missed. Real change happens when there’s time for things to percolate—to gently seep into our thoughts and perspectives before we can feel their true business impact.
To facilitate this, I’ve developed a series of "Pause and Percolate" sessions. These are moments where we bring leadership teams together, allowing time to sit with new concepts, reflect on progress, and uncover deeper insights.
The beauty of these sessions is that they move beyond surface-level reactions. After taking that time to absorb, we come together and position what we’re truly committed to—what comes next, and how we’re going to take actionable steps forward to drive meaningful and aligned results.
What makes these sessions so powerful is that when leaders have the space to think, reflect, and apply concepts, they start making connections that weren’t apparent before. Here’s what begins to happen:
💡 New insights emerge – both on a personal level and within the leadership team.
💡 Honesty and vulnerability grow – trust has been cultivated, and leaders open up more freely.
💡 A deeper level of commitment is formed – moving beyond reactive decisions to intentional, forward-thinking business impact action.
In the end, it’s not about quick fixes or immediate answers. It’s about creating a connection where ideas can breathe, evolve, and transform into something energising that drives real change and maintains momentum.
How could pausing and percolating your leadership approach transform your results and drive sustainable, aligned and energising business impact?
