Uncertainty School

Ever felt like you’re leading change in your organisation but you haven’t been given a roadmap, you’re struggling to win people over or you just feel like you’re on your own and have no one to turn to? 

Uncertainty School was created to help leaders who have(un)officially been handed the change baton, those who are always relied upon but are given no support, those who feel responsible when change doesn’t go to plan, in order to give them clarity, confidence, and courage to lead.

What you’ll get

  • ✺

    Clarity on where to start

    You’ll define a Minimum Viable Change that’s actually doable — not overwhelming. One focused shift that unlocks momentum.

  • ✺

    A mirror for your leadership style

    You’ll identify your default mode under pressure and learn how to flex it to lead more effectively. Leadership is situational — not fixed.

  • ✺

     A fresh way to think about influence

    You’ll map who really shapes change in your world — not just your boss or your team. And you’ll learn how to bring them with you.

  • ✺

    A toolkit you’ll actually use

    You’ll walk away with practical, lightweight tools to apply in real conversations, meetings, and decision moments. Nothing theoretical — just what works.

  • ✺

    Support without overexplaining

    You’ll get peer feedback, coaching frameworks, and a space to be real about what’s hard. Because leadership without support isn’t sustainable.

  • ✺

    A system to keep things moving

    You’ll explore simple rituals and structures that make change stick. Progress doesn’t come from intensity — it comes from consistency.

What’s inside

What You’ll learn?

In just one day, you’ll gain practical tools to:

  • Define a Minimum Viable Change — and start making progress

  • Understand and shift your leadership style under pressure

  • Map and influence key stakeholders (up, across, and out)

  • Build in the support you need to lead without burning out

  • Create small but powerful systems that make change stick

This isn’t theory. It’s real-world leadership for real-world mess.

Who’s it for?

You’ve been asked to lead without being shown how.

This workshop is for people in the messy middle of change — operators, founders, team leads, senior ICs, and ambitious thinkers who are constantly told to “just figure it out.”

You’re probably here because:

  • You’re the person people rely on — but no one’s made the path clear

  • You’re managing up, sideways, and diagonally

  • You care deeply about doing it right — but the ambiguity is exhausting

Uncertainty School gives you tools, support, and strategy to lead with confidence, even when the answers don’t exist yet.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • This is for high-performing individuals who are often asked to lead change without a clear map — team leads, ICs, founders, operators, and anyone navigating complex dynamics. If you’ve ever been told “just make it happen,” this is for you.

  • No. This program is about influence, not hierarchy. Whether you lead a team, a project, or just your corner of chaos — you’ll benefit.

  • It’s a one-day, in-person experience filled with practical tools, group reflection, and structured peer support. Expect energy, clarity, and space to think.

  • Yes. You’ll leave with actionable frameworks like MVC, the 5 S’s, stakeholder maps, and communication tools you can use immediately — no nonsense, no fluff.

  • Yes, and we encourage it. Learning is deeper when shared — but each participant needs to register individually.

  • Uncertainty School is part of a growing movement. This pilot may lead to future cohorts, deeper experiences, and even licensing — and you’re getting in early.
