Less Training, More Experimenting:
The New Evidence for Leadership Development That Actually Works
Three years. Two institutions. One breakthrough keynote.
Leadership programmes are everywhere. But evidence that they drive real performance? Rare.
So what happened when HSBC and London Business School dig into the real-world ROI of leadership development?
They called Maya.
A research-backed keynote on why experimentation—not training—is the real accelerator of leadership performance, drawn from Maya’s three-year study with HSBC and London Business School.
The takeaway?
Experimentation—not instruction—drives transformation.
Especially when leaders are willing to refresh their own way of being, and relating to others
Your audience will leave with:
-
The experimentation behaviours proven to elevate leadership performance
-
Real-world data that makes a bulletproof business case for a refreshed leadership development
-
A fresh lens for designing programmes that move the dial—without relying on outdated models
For leadership teams, L&D professionals, and organisations ready to shift from learning as information to leadership as iteration
