About Us
Focused People solves capacity, collaboration and growth problems for business leaders. ​We believe in fanning potential into flame, and long-term growth with well-being intact: courageous, versatile leaders thriving in agile, effective teams.​
What we noticed in organizations was:
-
Leadership behavior that encouraged blind-spots and compliance more than critical thinking, collaboration and creativity.
-
Ineffective teamwork and cross-functional collaboration
-
People on the brink of/ experiencing burnout, especially among management
-
A short-term focus that excluded listening and learning from customers, communities and employees​
-
A lack of consistent delivery - lots of "knowing" but less "doing" what was promised
-
High levels of anxiety and stress, as teams were downsized with little support or change management
-
A lack of business-model analysis and data-driven decision-making
-
A lack of depth in succession/ equipping the leadership "bench" with future-fit skills
-
Workplace cultures that were devoid of "spirit" and the playful experimentation that drives innovation​
-
Strategy separated from execution, with minimal "role completion"
-
Quiet quitting, disengagement and lack of trust
These are the challenges we address. If you need us, please get in touch.
Global Leadership Team
Our Global Team are entrepreneurial by nature, always seeking better, more impactful ways of being. They are also actively involved in projects, rather than sending "minions" to do the work. We believe that interacting with people who have "paid their dues" internationally adds depth to the conversation.
​
Beyond our specialty in business effectiveness, the broader team is experienced in leadership development, coaching and mentoring, management consulting, supply chain logistics, project management, trust-based sales, learning facilitation, research, brand management, event management, music creation, videography and gamification. Our International Partners are currently found in The Netherlands, The UK, The USA, Switzerland, Kenya, South Africa and Australia.

We are aware that our difference needs to be experienced to be understood, so we invite you to test us out. We'll gladly add value before we add an invoice ;-)
