The MORE Leadership Framework
A practical, psychologically-informed path to go from running on your old operating system to leading as a grounded, trusted authority.
I work with established senior leaders who are successful on paper, but know their current way of operating is costing them.
The MORE Leadership Framework is how we change that.
You don’t need more tips. You need a way to shift the operating system underneath.
The MORE Leadership Framework is my proprietary four-stage process. I use it to move clients from reactive, script-driven behaviour to calm, clear, intentional leadership that holds under pressure.
The MORE Leadership Framework
M – Map the Patterns
See what’s really going on.
We start by bringing precision to the inner and outer patterns shaping how you lead now.
Together we:
Identify recurring triggers, conflicts, and pressure points (board, investors, ExCo, peers, team, high-stakes decisions).
Use Transactional Analysis to map your scripts, drivers, and ego states.
Use Positive Intelligence to surface your key saboteurs and how they show up at work.
Link these patterns directly to real situations.
What this gives you:
Clear language and insight into what’s driving your reactions and decisions, so you’re no longer blindsided by your own responses.
O – Own Your Story
Understand how you got here. Choose where you’re going.
Next, we make sense of how these patterns were built – and what you want instead.
We:
Join the dots between your history, your success, and your current leadership style.
Name your old script: the beliefs about yourself, others and success that still shape your choices.
Separate what is genuinely you from old adaptations that have outlived their usefulness.
Define the kind of leader you now want to be: values, boundaries, and leadership principles that feel true.
What this gives you:
A coherent leadership narrative: who you are, what shaped you, and the leader you intend to be going forward.
R – Rewire Responses
Lead differently in the moments that matter. Insight only matters if it changes what you do when it counts.
We focus on real, live situations:
Difficult conversations
Restructures or performance issues
High-stakes meetings with the board, investors, or ExCo
Moments where you tend to get triggered or shut down
Together we:
Design specific new responses grounded in your Adult ego state, not in old scripts or saboteurs.
Use Positive Intelligence practices, grounding, and mind–body awareness to stay steady and present under pressure.
Rehearse new language, boundaries, and behaviours in-session, then apply and debrief them between sessions.
What this gives you:
Visible behavioural shifts: you stay calmer, decide more cleanly, and have more direct, honest conversations under pressure.
E – Embed the New Way of Leading
Make the change stick.
Finally, we make sure this isn’t a one-off shift, but a durable new way of leading.
We:
Turn new responses into simple habits and routines that fit your reality.
Notice where old patterns try to creep back in, and strengthen your new responses.
Keep you aligned with what matters most: trust, impact, sustainability, and staying true to your values.
What this gives you:
A robust, updated leadership operating system that feels natural, holds under pressure, and is recognisably yours.
Is the MORE Framework for you
This approach is a fit if:
You’re successful on paper, but notice that your current way of operating feels reactive, costly or unsustainable.
You want to stay ambitious and stay true to yourself.
You’re willing to look honestly at your own patterns, as long as it’s practical, grounded, and tied to real change in how you lead.
It’s not a fit if:
You’re looking for a quick fix or a set of surface-level performance tips.
You want generic life coaching or wellness support.
You’re not ready to reflect on your own part in the dynamics you’re experiencing.
