Calling Leaders
Longing for a team reset? Clarity on what's going on for everyone?
You're aware there's "something" off, you feel disengaged yourself.
You can't quite put the pieces together or know where to start, to know for sure what the issues are. How can things change?
I'm calling for a leader. Seven weeks.
Run The Olive Tree Method™ for free with your team.
The Olive Tree Method is a framework that reveals the conditions affecting your team. It opens up conversations, provides real data and information on individuals needs, team perception gaps and where culture and performance can be supported.
Zero Cost
Why you? Why free?
This is a proven process for busy leaders with struggling team(s).
The exchange is your feedback.
Have I missed anything? Is this genuinely straight-forward to apply? Where's the true value? Did it give you everything that you need to set up an impactful and sustainable foundation for your team?
I believe for you, this provides an opportunity for real transformation, connection with yourself and your team in a way you may never have been taught, shown, experienced or believe would work. I receive validation (or just priceless feedback on what would help, improve or add more value) and a connection with you, the person that this is built for.
Changing The Leadership Lens
Best practice organisations integrate engagement and wellbeing into every stage of the employee lifecycle from hiring to performance management. They focus on hiring and developing managers specifically to be effective coaches who prioritize goal setting and ongoing feedback.
This isn't how most of our organisations are set up and the model just isn't working.
People-First Leadership is a core principle where performance is created through people. The philosophy treats employees not as resources to be managed, but as the primary drivers of business success, where prioritizing well-being, trust and development directly leads to stronger retention, engagement and organisational resilience.
At the heart of The Olive Tree Method is the belief that all the leadership techniques in the world can't fix what you don't know is broken. It is the foundation to reveal conditions around your team, for you to begin a process of change and/or transformation that you lead.
The framework opens up people-first leadership style of working and engaging with your team in a way, that is proving to get incredible results in all facets of personal, business and financial success.
If you don't ask the questions, you'll never know if there are things you're missing, or ideas that can change everything.
The Research/The Stats
77% of employees are engaged when they feel senior leaders prioritize them, compared to only 45% when they do not.
Say Yes If You ...
Team Responsibility, Size & Location
... take ownership of the team, its culture, outputs and performance.
Have a team size of between 5-8.
You're based in Australia or
New Zealand
(so timing lines up for everyone).
Can't Seem To Make Things Stick
... have tried ways to lift engagement, performance, energy, focus.
Nothing seems to work long term.
You suspect when you're not in the room, the conversation is different.
You have no (or limited) HR support, consulting budget or what you have used just hasn't worked.
Things Aren't Working
... you and your team are experiencing...
Low morale, people keep leaving, communication is scarce, mistakes are discovered not highlighted, deadlines are missed, sick days are up there, there is no resilience to change, negativity in the energy, tone or topics of conversations, people are withdrawn not engaging, there is some toxic behaviour that is getting worse, KPI's are slipping and there's no definite reason why.
You Can't Get People to Step Up
... are getting exhausted holding the team together.
Covering for aspects of operations that you shouldn't be.
Fire-fighting most days, unable to get ahead of operational issues that could be avoided.
You feel like you're in survival mode most days.
Your Readiness
... are ready for a clear framework and results that feel good and sustainable.
You're ready to invest time in investigation to get to a vision forward for your team.
You're ready for honest answers.
You're ready to look at your own leadership, the uncomfortable stuff.
You're open to doing things differently.
Even if this isn't your world exactly, I'd still love for you to be involved - please reach out below.

I can't promise perfection, but I am committed to making sure that the path is as clear, supportive and transparent for everyone as much as I possibly can. My wish is for this framework to exceed any expectations you may have.
I trust from this experience we establish a strong connection, support and empowerment together, that will last well past the seven weeks.
I have an obligation to make sure you have the support around you in your workplace, as well as know you are ready to embark on this journey.
Reach out, I'd love to talk this out.

Not Alone
I will step alongside this process with you. I've been in the same position, wanting the same impact and answers that you do. Your team, will also be wanting guidance and answers. Especially if things haven't been that good.
I know you will come away from this process with concrete data and information about your team and members. I am aware of the things that can hold results back, with simple ideas on how to make sure the information you receive is genuine to help you with decision making.
This is a team collaboration with you and I. Discussions to help build a community that sets the stage for success. Supports each other and in the end will also benefit future leaders and teams that will go through the framework as well, so they are not alone.
Time for Change
