Our client led values, helping you to inspire, engage and align your people and connect with your passion and purpose.
- Find your purpose:
Discover what truly matters. Lead with clarity, passion and impact. Purpose gives your business, your team and your life a clear sense of direction and meaning.
- Live authentically:
Lead from the inside out. It’s critical that you align your actions with your deepest intent, rather than conforming to the expectations of others.
- Celebrate difference:
Embrace the weird, the wonderful and everything in between. Real leadership requires connection, understanding and empathy.
- Stay curious:
Ask probing questions and explore without judgement. Growth happens when we challenge what we think we know and what others think they know.
- Be (and find) the fun:
In a world full of mood hoovers, choose lightness. Joy and playfulness are contagious (so are negativity and cynicism!)

Through our work with leaders of all shapes and sizes, we’ve long recognised that one of the biggest challenges we have to overcome in business and in life is getting rid of those scripts that tell us we’re not, “….clever enough, organised enough, funny enough, intelligent enough, wealthy enough or ‘anything’ enough to achieve what we feel we really could, if only we had the chance!” Many of us have the tendency to repeat those lifelong (and life-limiting) scripts in our heads that stop us from: stepping out and taking on a new challenge or going for a promotion; taking our businesses to the next level; letting go of the past, to the extent that it threatens our present or future happiness.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Peter Satchell:
Lily Newman is phenomenal. The Exceptional NED programme that she has developed and delivers for Leeds University Business School is the gold standard training for supercharging board leaders. Lily's highly-interactive training challenges all participants to grow. Developing leadership strength doesn't get better than this.
Mike Braddock:
Lily struck the right balance of great content that was appropriate for the group, along with her high energy, engaging style which made the whole experience so enjoyable and beneficial... The program fills you with confidence, knowledge plus plenty of self awareness of your role around the board table. Overall a great & very helpful experience.
Sarah Willis:
The Leadership course has had a profound impact on my professional growth. It has given me the confidence to lead with clarity, voice my ideas effectively, and support others in doing the same. Above all, it’s taught me that leadership is as much about listening and empowering as it is about decision making.Paul Everitt:
Senior leadership teams are always busily working away on the company strategy, sometimes at the detriment of self-development. Lily and her team developed & delivered a 9-month program, laser focused to our individual needs and the needs of the business. The unique structure blended subject matter experts, interactive (and fun) activities, case study sessions and conversational coaching. Although soul searching at times, I believe I have been able to apply these learnings and have changed both my thinking and behaviors for the better of my team and our organization as a whole. ‘Thoroughly recommended’ is understating the lasting changes experienced by our cohort. We had fun, we reflected, we discussed and we improved. So, thank you Lily and all at Morgan James Consulting for bringing value to our world of people development.
Michael Howard:
Following the completion of the brilliant GS10KSB Programme which Lily delivered the leadership elements of a handful of business owners wanted to continue our development and hold ourselves accountable to ensure we delivered the plans we’d put in place.
Hayley Kenyon DipPFS:
The structure of the Effective Managers Programme delivered by Morgan James has helped me to be conscious of my behaviours, given me lots of ideas to take away to implement within my team and the business. I feel much more confident now around making decisions, dealing with difficult conversations and I’ve really become more conscious around my delegation skills, something I need to keep developing as my team and the business grows.
Diana MacCarthy:
Lily Newman totally transformed my leadership style, in fact I am not sure I knew what my style was, until I embarked on her training programme. In sharing her authentic self and with caring challenge, she shaped me into the kind or caring and inspiring leader I had always wanted to be.
Jay Allen:
Strategic Leaders should be mandatory for every emerging leader. Under the exceptional tutorage of Lily Newman and her team of highly skilled and devoted associates, the level, diversity and depth of, not just theory, but supervised practical application of all the elements required to be an effective leader is unsurpassed. Over the course duration, you experience a greater sense of self, whilst building a lifelong bond with other leaders on the course from various backgrounds and experiences. The course has transformed our thinking, actions and outcomes, to which much of our future shall be in part determined by what we learnt here today.
Ajaz Rathore:
Lily Newman has worked with our group for over 15 years, consistently bringing clarity, challenge, and inspiration. Her leadership has shaped how we develop our people, strengthened our culture, and helped us navigate both change and growth.
Ed Robinson:
I thoroughly enjoyed the Effective Managers Programme with Morgan James Consulting. It was engaging, thought provoking, and has helped me in my management of myself and others. I learnt a lot regarding delegation and dealing with difficult conversations with team members. Being relatively new to managing people, I found the training invaluable.
