Naomi Regan

CAPE People Development

Naomi Regan is a leadership consultant, executive coach, co-founder of CAPE People Development and co-author of Beyond Small Talk: Five Conversations to Change How You Lead.

With more than 15 years' senior leadership experience, Naomi has spent the last decade working with hundreds of founders and leaders, supporting organisations across the UK and internationally through growth, change and increasing complexity. Before moving into leadership development, she held senior and strategic roles within a FTSE 100 company, leading complex projects and large-scale organisational change.

Her work is driven by a deceptively simple idea: leadership is experienced one conversation at a time. Naomi is particularly interested in the gap between knowing what good leadership looks like and actually experiencing it every day. Drawing on behavioural science, leadership psychology and firsthand commercial experience, she helps leaders turn good intentions into the everyday behaviours that build clarity, judgement and ownership, shape culture and improve performance.

Increasingly, her work explores conversations not simply as a leadership or communication skill, but as one of the mechanisms through which organisations perform and grow. Because the conversations that unlock growth aren't always the dramatic ones. Often, they're the ordinary conversations about expectations, decisions, feedback and ownership that should have happened much earlier.
