The hidden cost of Stakeholder Drift

Stakeholder relationships don’t break overnight - they drift.


It starts small.


Priorities shift. 


Assumptions creep in. 


Small frustrations turn into silent resistance.


And before anyone realises, momentum stalls, trust erodes, and influence weakens.


📉 Decisions slow down - because alignment isn’t clear.


⚠️ Friction builds - because unspoken tensions go unchecked.


💰 Opportunities slip - because issues don’t surface early enough.


🔥 Leaders end up firefighting - because there are more problems to wrangle. 


That’s why I’ve launched the Stakeholder Speed Audit - a fast, practical session designed to help teams:


→ Spot relationship risks before they turn into real problems

→ Sharpen focus on the trajectory of stakeholder relationships

→ Get practical strategies to strengthen connection


It’s part diagnostic. Part insight. All practical.


If your team relies on internal and external stakeholders to get things done, this might be exactly what you need.


📅 Now booking sessions - message me or comment “interested” and I’ll share the details.
