What we do

We Develop Senior Leaders: Individually, or as a Team

Steering Point's Human Performance practice works one-to-one with executives, founders and small leadership teams of two to five — and with larger function-based teams across an organisation. Engagements are grounded in applied performance psychology and delivered by Jonny Cooper, Director of Leadership and Talent Development.

Jonny Cooper, Director of Leadership and Talent Development

Every engagement is personally developed by Jonny Cooper

Jonny brings together applied performance psychology, deep organisational experience and eleven years as an elite sportsperson — perspectives that rarely sit in the same room. He works directly with executives, founders and leadership teams in roles where decisions carry real weight and performance has to hold under pressure. There is no associate model: every Steering Point leadership development engagement is designed and delivered by Jonny himself.

When Leaders Benefit Most from Development

Most engagements start not because something is wrong, but because expectations have shifted. New role, bigger remit, more complex environment — the leadership behaviours that worked before stop being enough.

Role Transitions

Support leaders stepping into broader responsibilities.

Organisational Growth

Strengthen leadership capability as organisations scale.

Change Navigation

Lead effectively through periods of transformation

Senior Alignment

Improve clarity and cohesion at executive level.

Future Readiness

Prepare emerging leaders for greater responsibility

Performance Pressure

Sustain effectiveness in demanding leadership roles

The approach

Bespoke by design, rigorous by method

Every engagement is built around the specific leader, team and context — there is no off-the-shelf programme. What stays consistent is the foundation it's built on: applied performance psychology, behavioural insight, and a focus on outputs that hold up in the real environment leaders work in.
