Make Your Absence Expensive
On Cultivating Irreplaceable Value
On my coaching call today, I spoke to my client before she headed off to maternity leave. I reminded her that in her absence no one would bring the same value that she does, but that how she leads can be modelled.
You see, there comes a point in every leader’s journey where competence stops being the differentiator.
Everyone around you is skilled, knowledgeable, and smart. Everyone is busy but very few people are valuable.
This masterclass that I am hosting is about that distinction.
Make Your Absence Expensive is a call to senior leaders, CEOs and founders who want to shift from being involved in everything to being indispensable in the things that truly matter.
It’s about raising the quality of your contribution, sharpening your decision-making, increasing your trust equity, and building a leadership signature that people feel even when you're not in the room.
Because leadership isn’t measured in how much noise you make but rather it’s measured in impact.
Over 60 minutes, I will walk you through the behaviours that separate those who simply work hard from those whose absence tells a powerful story.
We examine
- strategic visibility
- decision-making hygiene
- influence dynamics, and
- the “Irreplaceable Five” or the areas where your unique value must shine and where everything else must be systemised or delegated.
Don’t get it twisted, this is not a motivational session, it’s a strategic one. You’ll leave with a clear view of your leadership portfolio, where you’re adding value, where you’re diluting it, and where you need to double down to make your next chapter more intentional and more expensive.
And because value without direction is meaningless, this masterclass sets the foundation for our December session, The Strategic Reset. Designing Your 2026 leadership blueprint with clarity, discipline and intention.
This follow-up masterclass is a deep, practical strategic planning workshop for 2026. In that session, we’ll map your leadership priorities for the year ahead, design your decision-making rhythm, structure your growth plan, and build a tactical blueprint you can execute immediately in January.
Together, these two masterclasses ensure you end the year with clarity and enter the next with momentum and is only available to members of The Premium Lounge.
For years, senior leaders have asked me to deliver more than a one-off speaking session on some key issues they face. So I created this lounge as the sweet spot between a self-directed course and one-to-one coaching. An investment in oneself in terms of knowledge and a community of peers.
If you want to elevate your leadership, strengthen your executive presence, and cultivate a level of value that shapes rooms long after you’ve left them, this first masterclass is your starting point.
Join The Premium Lounge now to experience it live on Monday 25th, (you can still see all the recordings if you can’t make it live) or sign up to get in at the special price before it goes up in January 2026
Let’s make your absence expensive.
