Challenge, Confidently

I'm Dean Leak. I help leaders and teams have honest conversations, challenge each other and perform under pressure. My work spans Olympic gold-medal-winning teams, FTSE 100 companies and senior government.
Each week, I share something you can use in your own conversations.
I'm a bit of a framework geek, so expect plenty of them.
For the moments when you…
- Have a point to make but worry about how it will land.
- Need to challenge someone without damaging the relationship.
- Feel yourself getting defensive.
- Leave a meeting wishing you'd said what you really thought.
Expect a phrase to try, a framework for a difficult conversation or a story from a room I wish I'd handled differently. Short enough to read between meetings. Practical enough to use in the next one.
