Helping Leaders and Organisations Unlock Their Full Potential
I'm Stephen Payne, a Mentor, Board Advisor, Non-Exec Director and a Strategic Consultant. I have over 25 years of experience working in Financial Services, Start-Ups and Non-profit organisations on a local and global scale.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with organisations and individuals at all levels, helping them lead with clarity, adapt to change, and realise their full potential.
​
My work is rooted in a calm, focused, and practical approach. Whether mentoring individuals or teams, advising in the boardroom or supporting frontline teams, I guide others through complex transformation, leadership challenges, and cultural shifts, always with empathy, insight, and measurable impact.
​
What drives me is seeing people and organisations evolve and reach their full potential, through thinking differently, leading more effectively, and building high-performing teams that thrive under pressure. If you're looking for grounded, strategic guidance that gets results, you're in the right place.
