You already know what you’re capable of. So what’s getting in the way of it showing up?

THE PROBLEM

Right now, in your meetings, someone with the answers is saying nothing.

They know the risk in the plan. They see the opportunity everyone else missed. They stay quiet anyway. Not just once. It’s become a pattern. And fear is contagious. But so is courage.

The Sleepwalking Effect™ is sleepwalking wide awake during the day repeating patterns, that limit our potential.

WHAT ARE THE PATTERNS THAT LIMIT OUR POTENTIAL?

Patterns rarely begin with one big moment.

The talented person waiting to be asked. The ideas that don’t get voiced. The leader who steps in, instead of stepping back. The conversation or conflict, avoided. 

Not feeling safe to speak up, not invited into a meeting, participating in check the box 1:1’s, this type of leadership creates disengagement.

Gallup’s 2026 Global Workplace Report shows only 20% of the workforce is engaged, across 142 countries. $10 trillion USD gone in lost productivity, globally.

The Sleepwalking Effect™ reset means once you can see the pattern, you have the place to start.

WHAT IS THE GROW ZONE?

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.” Viktor Frankl, Author Man’s Search for Meaning. 

The Grow Zone represents that space where what happens meets our response to it. This is where we we do the work. The reset for the Sleepwalking Effect™ is called ACT.

One degree can feel insignificant, but if you can hold it,  it changes where you land.

That’s true for people. It’s true for companies too.

WHY THIS WORK MATTERS

Your best thinking only has value if it makes it into the room.

The difficult conversation has to happen. The person with something to contribute has to decide to speak upo.

This is where performance gets very human. And it’s where small changes can have an extraordinary effect over time.

WHY VICKI

I started my career in retail and life quickly gave me two very literal wake-up calls. I broke my spine twice. The second time, I was sleepwalking and fell from a second-storey window.

That experience stayed with me. So did a question: why do capable people keep repeating behaviours they already know aren’t helping them? I chose to take the harder fork in the road. The more distance I got from my comfort zone and kept taking the harder road, the more doors kept opening.

I went on to become President of Flight Centre USA in my early thirties. I‘ve been accountable for scaling growth, people, sales and performance. I know what it is to look at a number on a page and understand there are hundreds of human decisions sitting behind it.

This mindset has been applied to start ups and non profits impacting thousands of leaders across 3 continents. It led to a Graduate Diploma in Applied Psychology and behavioural science, which drives my work.

I’ve spent years looking at what happens in the small moments, the ones that are easy to dismiss at the time and remarkably powerful when repeated. That is what I bring into a room.

WHAT PEOPLE TAKE BACK TO WORK, TEAMS AND ORGANISATIONS.

A way to recognise a pattern while there is still time to do something about it.

A shared language for talking about the small behaviours that shape resilience, culture and team work.

And a simple way to interrupt the automatic response: What am I doing here? Why? What could I try for a different outcome.

The aim is grounded and practical. More of what your people know, see, question and are capable of makes it into the room. There is a lot of freedom in that.
