facilitation | business games | team-build | inspiring ideas
I have been designing and facilitating interactive strategy and leadership programmes for senior executives for over two decades. From one-off keynotes, and half-day energisers, up to multi-day programmes, with guest speakers, experiential and discovery elements - it’s what I do. I have designed and led sessions for clients in the UK, USA, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. I produce and facilitate engaging and thought-provoking workshops for leadership teams seeking a boost to their creativity, collaboration, and to galvanise their strategy, purpose and impact. The approach, format and design is always bespoke to the needs and goal of the group. My sessions are never dull and, at their best, create better cohesion, ownership and clarity amongst senior teams. Want to find out more? Email: info@waveyourarms.com

About John Dore
My goal is to explore, share and facilitate inspiring ideas for business leaders. I speak at and facilitate conferences, events, off-sites and thought-leadership forums on various topics including the future of work, leadership transformation, innovation and creativity, and the concept and application of glue. I deliver keynote talks about a powerful model called The Organisational Advantage, as well as producing experiential learning modules for leadership teams.
GLUE: Transforming Leadership in a Hybrid World
GLUE is a breakthrough leadership book, shortlisted as 2024 Business Book of the Year. Described by management guru Gary Hamel as “essential reading for twenty first century leaders”, the book offers a radical new perspective on the cohesive behaviours and mindset needed to be a successful leader today and in the future. GLUE is now available as an impactful learning experience, delivered as a keynote presentation, or as a half-day or full day leadership module. Participants will: discover the “organisational advantage” found in glue-rich environments, and the leadership behaviours that create cohesion, deepen engagement and encourage high-performance. Consider the amount of “glue” created within your firm today, and what might be needed to make it more cohesive in the future. Adopt new counterintuitive approaches to leadership, which deepen engagement and improve collaboration.
