Transform Your Organisation Through Vertical Development and Conscious Leadership.

I guide mission-driven leaders and organisations to unlock their full potential by fostering vertical development—the evolution of mindset, perspective, and decision-making capacity. My approach blends proven psychological models (Kegan, Loevinger, Torbert, Wilber) with practical leadership and organisational transformation strategies.

“When we work on culture change, I don’t just bring in new HR policies or training programmes. I help teams grow vertically. That means expanding mindsets, from conformity or performance orientation to strategic, conscious systems thinking. Drawing on Kegan’s subject-object theory, Loevinger’s ego development, and Torbert’s action logics, we co-create leadership frameworks that are not just effective, they’re transformative.” - Heidi

Examples of Vertical Development in Practice

1. Transforming a Risk Function Through Vertical Leadership (Lloyds Banking Group)

As Deputy Director of Risk at Lloyds Banking Group, I led a full-scale transformation of the risk function by developing the mindset, capability, and culture needed to operate at a higher level of complexity. Over nine months, I built a new 23-person department recognised by Ernst & Young as best-in-class. This success came from:

expanding leadership capacity within the team
fostering psychologically safe, high-trust collaboration
embedding conscious decision-making frameworks
integrating diverse perspectives into strategic risk culture

This project is a strong example of vertical development in action—elevating not just structures, but how people think, relate, and lead.

2. Leading Multi-Country Strategic Alignment at Executive Level

Working with board and executive teams across Europe, I facilitated the creation of a unified strategic framework within six months, an ambitious task requiring leaders to expand their perspectives beyond national, cultural, and regulatory boundaries. Through vertical leadership principles, I helped teams:

think systemically across multiple countries
integrate competing priorities with shared purpose
navigate cultural and regulatory complexity with awareness
move from siloed decision-making to collaborative consciousness

The result was a strategy fully embedded at all organisational levels and embraced across cultural differences.

3. Conscious Business Growth for a Small Enterprise

A small business owner sought support to grow sustainably. Instead of traditional consultancy alone, I guided them through a vertical mindset shift, developing clearer strategic thinking, improved financial awareness, and the confidence to make higher-level decisions. This elevation in leadership capacity led to a 30% increase in revenue within 12 months, achieved without compromising wellbeing or organisational values.

Why Vertical Development Matters

Many coaching and consulting practices teach what to do. My work is different: I focus on how you think, feel, and lead. Vertical development unlocks the next level of your capacity — not just new skills, but entirely new ways of seeing. By expanding your meaning-making structures, you can lead with more presence, resilience, and purpose.
