Imagine this…
You’re in a strategy update meeting. The Big Strategy has been announced.
There’s a slide with 5 pillars. Everyone nods. But behind the scenes?
-
No one is quite sure how to translate those pillars into action.
-
Delivery teams are buried in BAU.
-
Your inbox is filling up with “what exactly are we doing?” questions.
Then someone speaks up. They’ve already mapped the strategy to a clear set of projects for their area. The team’s aligned. Early wins are showing up. People are energized, not resistant.
And even more intimidating? They’re using AI to get updates drafted, ideas sharpened, and issues unblocked in record time.
How did they do that?
They’re using the execution habits and tools taught inside The Turbochargers Hub.
It’s not magic. It’s not personality. It’s learnable, and you can start applying it from day one.
Here’s 3 tips on how you can become this Strategic Leader:
1. Turn strategy into projects (without chaos)
Leaders get handed a strategy and are told to “make it happen.”
But execution often fails not because the strategy was wrong, but because no one translated it into a clear, actionable structure that fits the organisation.
Inside The Turbochargers Hub: Learn how to break a strategy into executable streams, build out workstreams that actually get traction, and avoid the classic trap of drowning in initiatives.
2. Create momentum (not just compliance)
Push strategies exhaust people. Pull strategies energize them.
The secret is working with culture, not against it.
Inside The Turbochargers Hub: You’ll learn how to tap into cultural drivers, build trust quickly, and shape a narrative that people want to be part of. Less resistance. More enthusiasm. Real momentum.
3. Use AI as your strategic enabler
You don’t need to become a tech expert. But ignoring AI in 2025 is like running a marathon in gumboots.
Inside The Turbochargers Hub: Discover simple, practical ways to use AI to
-
Draft strategy decks and board updates in minutes
-
Brainstorm better solutions and unblock issues faster
-
Keep the whole team aligned and focused
This is all about amplifying what you do, enabling you to deliver faster and more creative solutions. I believe in always having a person check everything AI produces, there is a magical combination with a “human in the loop”.
So what’s inside The Turbochargers Hub?
It’s not theory. It’s not consulting-speak. No fluff.
It’s a library of one-hour practical lessons, one-page McKinsey-style tools and templates drawn from 50+ real-world implementations.
-
23 execution modules: Learn at your pace, apply immediately
-
Plug-and-play templates: Project structures, plans-on-a-page, influence maps, AI guidance – these complement your existing project management methodology, change management methodology with executive-style templates
-
Monthly live sessions: A mix of masterclasses and real-time coaching help with your toughest roadblocks, and a ready-made community of others like you
Designed for busy transformation leaders, strategic project teams and program managers who want to get real results, not just talk about them.
What members have said:
-
“I had time to reflect during the sessions. I’ve underestimated the level of energy you need to invest in understanding your stakeholders. I tend to think the proposition can stand on its own, so for me it has been useful thinking about how everyone is different and should be involved. That has for me been most valuable lesson I’ve taken from this. ” CIO
-
“Your sessions reinforced my experience and I found your lists, summaries and templates like assessing the culture very handy.” Head of Change
-
“I love the format and the group interaction.” HR Business Partner
-
“Like how you’re showcasing how to ‘walk the talk’ by routinely using AI as a “thought partner” in your daily work, by embedding it into our dox and using it the sessions.” IT Manager
-
“For me, the biggest learning from The Turbocharge membership is stakeholder management and consultation. I’m in finance and I can see the end result, how good it will be, but I now realise I need to get buy-in along the way. The biggest thing for me is putting on the hat of the people that this is going to affect, and really get them get them on the journey with me. And I didn’t know what I didn’t know until I started doing this. So thank you.” Acting CFO
