25 years ago, when I started my own strategy and leadership development company, I found myself in a large room facing 45 senior leaders from the London Borough of Newham.

The goal of the session was audacious and simple: to regenerate and transform the future of the borough - one of the most deprived and run-down areas in the UK at that time, back in 1998.

I couldn't shake my sense of imposter syndrome and the feeling I was out of my depth.

But, that's how the 45 senior leaders felt too. I didn't fully understand that back then. I do now.

We are all humbled facing our responsibility to make next year better than last year.

Out of our depth is how we can all feel faced with a frightening, seemingly impossible goal.

I now know my job is to lead people through doubt to belief, using rapid and highly engaging, interactive processes.

On that day, 25 years ago, faced with a frighteningly huge transformational goal, one guy said we have so much derelict land we could host the olympics.

Everyone laughed hysterically. Me too. What a crazy dream, right?
14 years later, that crazy dream had brought in around £2 billion in regeneration funding for Newham and 900 million people from across the world were being dazzled by Danny Boyle's opening ceremony for the London 2012 Olympics.

What can you dare dream possible?

No gimmicks. No fads. Rapid, hi-octane, very direct, unconventional methods. Lots of heart, soul and attitude, and outstanding results
