“Leaders are human beings leading other human beings, so who you are being as a leader (as opposed to what you are doing) matters more in convincing others to follow you.”

Adam says
“I am proud to be part of OMA because this is an organisation that walks it’s talk. We never ask clients to do something we would not be prepared to do or have not done ourselves.
One experience of working for OMA that I will never forget is witnessing a group of 50 Ethiopian agriculturalists spontaneously rising to their feet as one to cheer at the end of hearing Henry V’s rousing motivational speech: ‘Once more unto the breach, dear friends…’”
What does Adam especially bring to his work?
Vivid storytelling as an inspiring stimulus for personal and group reflection
Asking powerful questions to stimulate learning and unlock individual insight and resources
Building learning contexts which hold high levels of trust, safety and willingness to take risks
Helping leaders to reframe perspectives which have become habitual or stuck
Executive presence and communication
