Rethink Leadership.
Redefine Yourself.
Reshape The Future.

Who We Are

Leadership is changing, but most leadership development hasn’t caught up. It still teaches tactics, not transformation. MindsetShift was created to change that. We bring the human side of leadership into the boardroom - identity, representation, authenticity, and combine it with the strategy organisations need to succeed.

The result? Leaders who know who they are, lead with courage, and create an impact that lasts.

How We Work With Leaders

Leadership isn’t a one-size-fits-all, and neither are we. Every coaching journey and programme we deliver is tailored - to the individual leader, the team, and the organisation they shape.

SHIFTED MINDSETS

What Our Leaders Say

I was overwhelmed by anxiety and unclear about my future. Sope helped me get grounded, identify my strengths, and find a career path that actually made sense. His coaching gave me the tools and belief to take action, and the results followed. I didn’t just find direction, I found myself again.

Firas EzzeddineDirector of Strategy Operations at Philips

Working with Sope was the most impactful coaching experience I’ve had. He created an environment where I could open up and reflect on what really matters.

Birk AngermannHead of Revenue, EMEA

Sope has a unique ability to listen deeply and move you forward fast. He helped me navigate a series of complex, personal leadership challenges that had weighed me down for years.

Jayson BrownMerchant Success Senior Lead

Before I met Sope, I knew I needed to grow but couldn’t find the right support. He helped me stop hiding parts of myself and start leading with clarity and conviction.

Dinah CobbinahPartner at KPMG

I used to believe I had to change who I was in order to grow. Sope helped me realise I was already whole. That insight changed everything. I now lead with confidence and authenticity and I’m ready for what’s next.

Abigail WilmoreChief People Officer at Tom Ford

Sope’s workshop was a standout. He helped our team dig deep into leadership behaviours and gave us tools we could use immediately. He created a space where people felt safe enough to be honest and challenged enough to grow. Our culture shifted because of it.

Sharon WhaleDeputy Global Group Chief Executive at Inside Ideas Group

Sope’s questions cut through old stories and false beliefs I’d been carrying for years. He helped me see how I was outsourcing my value to others and taught me how to reclaim it. His coaching is bold, grace-filled, and exactly what I didn’t know I needed. If you're feeling blocked or stuck, he is the shift.

Makini BordeDirector, HR Business Partners

Sope showed up in my life just before a big transition when I left full-time work to go solo. He was the first person to ask what I really wanted and I had no answer. That question sparked a journey I didn’t know I needed. I wouldn’t have grown into the leader I am now without him.

Ruth Penfold-BrownChief People Officer

We brought Sope in to support our Employee Networks, but what he delivered reshaped our culture. He introduced structure, trust, and alignment, creating sustainable systems that still drive impact today. Sope engages every level of the organisation with confidence and clarity. The transformation has been real and lasting.

Grace HaynesHead of Organisational Development at Coventry City Council

Scaling the business while staying centred felt impossible before I met Sope. His coaching helped me prioritise, set boundaries, and lead with clarity. He never gave easy answers but always asked the questions that moved the needle. I now lead with presence and performance.

Renata RochaManaging Director, EMEA

We Don’t

Run Courses.

We Create Shifts.

What got you here won’t get you there. Most training teaches tactics, we transform the way leaders think. MindsetShift’s leadership development programmes go deeper than skills, they rewire your operating system. We help executives build clarity, conviction, and adaptability to lead forward, not just manage the present.

From the strategic Chess Not Checkers to The Download for Chief People Officers and our flagship Executive Masterclass, each leadership transformation programme is designed for one thing: your growth and long-term impact.
