LEF: IDEAS, PEOPLE AND POSSIBILITIES IN MOTION

Strategy sessions, learning programmes and keynotes for organisations ready to move beyond the next meeting.

Sessions that actually deliver

Your people get together, and afterwards very little changes. I design and facilitate strategy sessions, learning programmes and workshops that end with decisions, owners and a clear next step.

Innovation with a plan

There's an opportunity, but no plan yet. I help you see what's possible, get the right partners around the table and turn an idea into something people can test and get behind.

Growing entrepreneurship

For cities, colleges, networks and incubators that want to bring out entrepreneurial talent. Programmes, workshops and ecosystems that actually get people moving.

A strategic sounding board

Sometimes you don't need a hefty report. You need a sharp conversation. I'll challenge your thinking, surface the patterns and help you decide what the next meaningful step is. That goes for founders too.

Look closer. Connect smarter. Actually start.

I don't work from a standard model. I work from three simple moves.

1. We find the real question

We don't start with the answer. We start with the question that makes the difference.

2. We bring the right pieces together

People, knowledge, organisations, technology and opportunities: I connect the dots and bring in the voices you need to move forward.

3. We make the next step concrete

No castles in the air. We agree on what needs testing, deciding, building or organising, and who owns it.

A good idea deserves better than “we should really do something with this”

That's where the real work begins.

You have an ambitious idea, but no clear path to get there.

You want to bring people or organisations together around a shared opportunity.

Your team needs to think beyond the way things work today.

You want a critical sounding board who won't just watch from the sidelines.

A lawyer who'd rather build possibilities than collect footnotes

I trained as a lawyer. It taught me to look closely, question assumptions and pay attention to what words really mean. Along the way, I became more and more fascinated by the people and ideas shaping what comes next. Today I work where innovation, business development, entrepreneurship, higher education and the future of work and learning meet.

My talent? Spotting potential, asking the question nobody has quite put on the table yet, and getting people excited enough to give an idea a real shot. I love working with people who have ambition, an open mind and opinions of their own, and who would rather try something than keep admiring how good it looks on paper.

WHAT PEOPLE NOTICE WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER

People whose ideas didn't stay on paper

“In my 20-year career, I have had the opportunity to attend many courses and trainings, and thought I had seen it all pretty much. Then Kirby's training came along and I have never been so wrong in my assumptions. The method and approach Kirby brought to the story is of a completely different level. Inspiration, possibilities, facilitation, openness and responding to the needs of the participants are just about the first words that come to mind. A very positive and impactful experience that will last for many years to come. If you want to get to the next level, just Kirby and skip a few...”

Kirby talks with passion and is not afraid to ask difficult questions that let you reflect on the essence of doing business. She leads by example with her own company LEF is More and inspires many entrepreneurs, including me! Thanks to her, I discovered a network of connected futurists and trendwatchers!

"Working with Kirby is a pleasure. She always finds the right words and reads people perfectly. Her enthusiasm is contagious. She's exactly the right person to take my business to the next level!"

I cannot express how much I enjoy my conversations with Kirby! She is so enthusiastic in offering help and gave me a lot of good advice on how to get my project rolling. She also connected me with opportunities and people. I felt so comfortable to share my challenges with her as she would not judge me for the way I am but would try different approaches to encourage me to overcome my challenges. Thank you Kirby!!!

LEF is More means business, energy and inspiration. Working with Kirby doesn't feel like work, it's pure fun. She's highly professional and knows how to get things done. Whether it's opening doors, inspiring you or giving your business a boost, Kirby can do it all. It may sound like a cliché, but every business needs a Kirby.

"Kirby is a lively, creative person! Listening to her brainstorm is a joy, and for me hugely inspiring. She has a knack for turning her creativity, with remarkable efficiency, into action and reality."

“Over the past few months I've been able to turn to Kirby for advice, feedback, ideas and encouragement on my own projects. With LEF is More she has really found her thing: spotting the strength of a person, a company or a product, seeing what's possible, and then empowering exactly that. Kirby makes you shine, while she shines on the sidelines herself. A golden combination, if you ask me.”

"A hands-on consultant with strong entrepreneurial instincts and a clear commercial focus, backed by a well thought out marketing strategy. A focus she turns into results."

Planning a session, programme or keynote?

Tell me who's getting together, what's on the table and what needs to be different afterwards. Then we'll work out the right format together. Fair warning: I'll probably start with a question.

Running your own business? A one-to-one session is often the best place to start.
