Leadership Development
Helping Leaders Find the Time and Space to Think
Do you need time and space to think?
Do you sometimes feel you barely have time to draw breath, let alone think about the core and critical questions you need to be focused on?
Do you experience a constant sense of urgency and rush and suffer under intense scrutiny and the tyranny of the short term?
You know you are capable of more and want to think strategically, but instead fear overwhelm and burnout from the pressure of the everyday.
If that sounds familiar you're not alone.
I've been developing leaders for over 20 years and this is a challenge many face - especially in these turbulent times. That's why I've designed my programmes to take the fear and frustration out of being a leader.
I teach techniques that help you to slow down, listen and connect with the wise, compassionate and courageous leader that is within; that help you to create trust and conditions where all can thrive.
How I can help
Through coaching, training and facilitated conversations I help you become more confident and empowered; able to ignite and harness the finest quality thinking in the room.
Above all, I help you build a leadership proposition that is uniquely yours.
Building Better Boards
This program, originally designed for one of the country’s leading NHS Trusts, was shortlisted for the 2022 Chartered Institute of Governance's Project of the Year Award.
Delivered over 3 sessions and supplemented with individual and group coaching, it can be tailored to focus on the core and critical questions you and your board are currently facing.
“The fusion of Governance with thinking practices enabled us to transform our governance from linear to dynamic. She delivered a very well and thoughtfully designed programme that me and my colleagues appreciated - thank you Mitzi for creating a sensational experience.”

Fulcrum Leaders
Founded in 2011 by Mitzi Wyman, with the support of Jim Clifford OBE
Fulcrum is a network that brings together a community of leaders with influence across health, social care, education, the arts and increasingly business.
Its gatherings focus on the challenges leaders face and how they can continue to be their authentic selves amidst the maelstrom that is public service.
In these gatherings, Mitzi uses a dialogic approach to promote the exchange of ideas and the exploration of a subject from very different perspectives in order to expand understanding and gain insight.
Fulcrum's creativity is carried into the world by re-energising its members, their carrying its ideas into their worlds to increase the impact of their caring, the free gift of ideas for the greater good.
"Usually when I meet with other CEOs and leaders, it is to discuss common topics, current issues or forthcoming challenges. I rarely have the opportunity to share insights with people from a wide range of backgrounds who are not trying to collectively ‘problem-solve’ and are instead focused on deeply listening to each other. It is what Wordsworth called ‘emotion recollected in tranquility’, and it brings out the poetry in all of us."
