'One of the things I value most about your course is that it teaches us how to think for ourselves. Rather than simply providing answers, it breaks complex ideas down into simple, understandable building blocks. That gives us the knowledge and confidence to think situations through logically, ask the right questions, and make conscious, well-considered decisions based on our own understanding. It doesn’t teach you what to think, it teaches you how to think.’

- Chris Griffiths, Travel A La Carte


Many capable professionals are looking for ways to have more impact. 

The biggest opportunity is often in how clearly and confidently they see and navigate the commercial, business and people contexts they operate in. 

Our commercial understanding and ability to rapidly distill and make sense of events, opportunities and challenges provides the platform for determining what matters most.  

The environments we create for our colleagues shape how much we can get done, and how easily.

The business conversations we have determine how we’re seen, how far we progress and how much genuine impact we have. 

All of these capability areas can be developed deliberately and practically and Outperformance Highway is a body of work built for this. 

Where we arrive seeing only a part of what’s in front of us, we can leave better understanding the whole picture, knowing where we fit within it and better equipped to navigate it confidently, decisively and effectively. 

It is all grounded in more than 35 years working inside more than 150 businesses worldwide.

What People Say

'Fantastic Practical Learning Experience. This is not a course which focuses on the Sales Motion and requires a heavy commitment of your time. This course is more holistic, it took me on a journey, which looked at finance / sales / customers / organisational construct etc. The course took me three to four hours and I was able to easily learn new ideas / approaches / tools. Very much enjoyed learning from the authors many years of experience in business. The 1-2-1 engagement afterwards really put this off the chart.'

- Mevin Anenden, Logicalis


'Rob spends time upfront getting you to understand where you operate today, how does the business and the team operate? Is the business designed to win? Is our culture right for us and is it working? And several other relevant questions. The great thing about this approach is before he has taught me any new capability, he has taught me to really understand where my challenges are in leadership. It has my brain identifying linkages between aspects of business and leadership I hadn't thought of. This is a far more effective way of learning in my view.'

- Mark Graham, The Counselling Foundation


 ‘Rob is very good at taking something that is relatively complex and making it simple, so you come away clearer and more confident about what to do next. His depth and breadth of experience is remarkable, drawn from years spent inside all kinds of businesses, yet it never feels intimidating. It’s genuinely reassuring.’

- Laura O’Leary, Trilligent


'CEO's rarely create the time and space for reflection but as Rob points out, we operate in a very dynamic world where this is more necessary than ever. This is a very engaging and thought provoking way to help you along the journey.  Rob has packaged his experience and research into a well thought out framework, delivered in an entertaining and easy to consume way.'

- Lynn Murphy, Plugable Technologies
