Why does leadership feel so overwhelming?
Because most of us are thrown in at the deep end. No one hands you a toolkit for the hard stuff, the impossible decisions, the pushback and the self-doubt.
​
You're told to 'step-up' and if you're lucky enough to get some leadership trining, it's mostly ad-hoc, theory heavy and buzzwords that don't help when you're standing in front of your team at 9am.
​
So, what do most new leaders do?
​
-
Say 'yes' too much
-
Hide the doubts and keep pushing through
-
Burn out quietly, hoping no one will notice.
​
But, deep down you know; this isn't sustainable.
What if leadership didn't feel so heavy?
Simple tools. Real Change.

Picture this...
It's Monday morning.
Instead of dread, you feel steady. You've got clarity on your priorities.
Your team look to you and you know what to say, what to do and how to lead.
​
Not because someone gave you another theory.
But because you've got the tools, nudges and support you need, right when you need it.
​
That's what Braythorpe is here to give you.
I know, because I've lived it.
I'm Dave, founder of Braythorpe.
I remember lying awake at 3am, stomach in knots and having the weekly dread for Monday morning. Not knowing what was coming next. I remember saying yes to everything because I thought that's what "good leaders" did.
​
And, I remember the crash and burn when I found out it wasn't sustainable.
​
What saved me wasn't another glossy programme. It was small, practical shifts; values I could hold onto and tools I could actually use.
​
That's what Braythorpe is built on. No fluff. No jargon. Just leadership that works in the real world.
