Momentum for Project Leaders
90 days
to move from stuck to energised
Are you a project manager or business leader struggling with...
Misaligned stakeholders pulling you in different directions
Accountability gaps that leave you managing the fallout
Progress stalled by competing priorities and unclear roles?
Momentum for Project Leaders is a 90-day programme designed to help project leaders like you, build unstoppable alignment, accelerate decisive action, and establish accountability that sticks, so you can lead with unwavering confidence and deliver results that truly matter.
"I recently watched a luna launch mission and as I was thinking about getting projects and project leaders off the ground, it struck me that it’s a bit like getting a successful lift off!
A lot of things need to go well, a lot of simulations and scenarios need to be practiced. And a lot can go horribly wrong if the right measures are not put in place."
Where are you on the momentum ladder?
Project managers are stretched thin. Juggling multiple initiatives, managing complex team dynamics, and navigating organisational politics. But you don't have to white-knuckle your way through it.
The Momentum Ladder maps five distinct levels of team effectiveness. Which one reflects your reality?
Momentum is designed to move you from wherever you are right now to Level 5 - where projects deliver exceptional results without burning you out.
Why most project leaders struggle.
You experience...
Stakeholders with competing priorities derailing progress
Unclear accountability leaving you as the sole responsible party
Communication breakdowns creating delays and mounting frustration
Constant firefighting instead of strategic progress
Stress eroding both your confidence and your wellbeing
Sound familiar?
You're not alone, and it's not your fault.
The real issue isn't your capability; it's the gap between traditional PM training and the day to day reality of leading complex, cross-functional initiatives.
What's changing (and why this matters now)
By 2028, the best project managers will spend up to 90% of their time on stakeholders, alignment, risk mitigation and change design, leaving just 10% for administration and documentation.
Why? Because AI assistants will handle the drafting, formatting, and status updates.
The human work just became your most valuable skill.
Which means the PM who masters influence, judgement, and relationship management will be the one organisations fight to keep.
Research consistently shows that 70% of project failures stem from human factors, not technical failures.
Yet most PM training focuses on methodologies and tools - ignoring the human dynamics that actually determine success. This programme is different.

What others say
We ask for feedback as part of our regular process. We're always looking for 'what worked' and why.
I'm forever indebted to Leonie for all her donated time and expertise and know for a fact that GG's wouldn't be where we are today without her unwavering support. Because of Leonie's support, GG's has employed over 20 people with special needs and ensured that the business can continue to provide a compassionate, caring and supportive workplace for those that would otherwise be excluded from the workforce. I thank my lucky stars every day for the opportunity to have Leonie by my side and look forward to growing the business nationally with her support.
What made Leonie’s contribution so impactful wasn’t just her expertise—it was her presence. She has a rare ability to create a space where people feel safe to speak openly, reflect honestly, and connect deeply.
Leonie really helped me articulate points/scenarios that were percolating within myself in a simpler, persuasive manner. She really helped me reframe points/thoughts to gain a better outcome for myself or stakeholders/the business. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience that was fluid enough with just enough structure to really take it to wherever I needed to in that session.
6R provided valuable assistance to Aje during their project’s discovery and documentation process. Leonie’s knowledge of the retail industry and ability to champion discipline and structure helped the team ask the right questions, create buy-in and understanding, and set the tone for the project’s success.”
We started work with 6r during a challenging period where to maintain the businesses revenues we needed to implement Ship from Store processes in a very short time frame. 6r oversaw the whole project and ensured that all stakeholders understood what needed to be done while meeting a deadline of 11 days
“I wanted to share thanks and appreciation for all the planning, diligence, care and intelligence you bring to our team every day. You are a driving force in supporting our strategy and vision and we are all the richer for having you in our team. We are truely thankful for your relentless dedication to our people and projects.”

Who is this programme for?
Project managers and business leaders who want to elevate their leadership through mastering stakeholder alignment, building team accountability, and communicating for impact.
How much time each week?
Approximately 2–3 hours weekly for live sessions (recordings available) and practice and reflection between sessions.
Will this work across industries?
Yes. While grounded in complex retail technology projects, the principles apply across healthcare, finance, construction, government, and more. Any environment where you're leading cross-functional teams will benefit.
What if I'm a PM with no direct reports?
This programme is equally powerful for individual contributors navigating matrix structures. The influence and accountability frameworks are specifically designed for leading without formal authority.
Last words of Wisdom
Don’t buy the fairy tale. If a vendor promises a “plug and play” fit before they’ve worked with your team, run.
Templates don’t build alignment. You can download 100 free frameworks - but only real, facilitated conversation gets your team on the same page.
It’s not about the software. The value is in the honest self-assessment, not in a shiny demo
