Empowering Leaders, Transforming the Frozen Middle, and Building Thriving Organisations.

About Heather Gordon Leadership Consultancy

At Heather Gordon Leadership Consultancy, we believe that meaningful change starts with people. Our mission is to unlock the untapped potential of middle management transforming the “frozen middle” into a dynamic force that bridges vision with action and drives lasting organisational success.

Founded by Heather Gordon, a Regenerative Leadership expert with deep experience in empowering leaders, our consultancy specialises in creating tailored strategies that align people, purpose, and profit. Heather’s approach blends the precision and clarity of mission command principles with the holistic, systems-thinking focus of regenerative leadership to deliver transformative results.

Our Why

We are driven by a profound belief in the power of leadership to create positive, lasting impact, not just for today, but for future generations. The “frozen middle” represents a unique challenge and opportunity: when middle managers are empowered, aligned, and supported, they become the engines of innovation, resilience, and change.

At the heart of our work is a commitment to helping organisations thrive, fostering ecosystems of collaboration, trust, and adaptability to meet the challenges of a rapidly evolving world.

Our Approach

Our fractional leadership model ensures organisations can embed transformational leadership practices without the constraints of full-time executive hires, allowing middle managers to evolve into empowered change agents.

We work with organisations to:

  1. Diagnose and Address Barriers: We uncover the cultural, structural, and communication challenges holding your organisation back.
  2. Empower Middle Management: Through coaching, workshops, and immersive experiences, we enable middle managers to take ownership and become proactive change agents.
  3. Create Sustainable Systems: Combining regenerative leadership and mission command principles, we equip organisations with strategies that align short-term objectives with long-term sustainability.

Our solutions are rooted in collaboration, empowerment, and actionable results, ensuring a thriving and resilient leadership culture at every level.

The Sum of Our Parts

Leadership excellence doesn’t rest in the capabilities of a few, it’s built through collaboration. At Heather Gordon Leadership Consultancy, we work alongside a diverse network of exceptional experts who bring unique perspectives and specialised expertise.

Our team includes professionals in regenerative leadership, mission command principles, and experiential learning, ensuring that we deliver best-in-class strategies tailored to your organisation’s needs.
