Project Summary
After years of separation, a new CEO, and significant market transformation, McMillan Shakespeare Group brought together 70 of its most senior leaders for the first time in 3 years. They didn’t need just another leadership offsite packed with strategic and tactical updates. They needed energy, intimacy, and a powerful reconnection to purpose. They needed a conference that would break the mould—and spark a new chapter of courageous, human-centred leadership.
That’s where Myke came in.
Myke was engaged to design, host, and bring to life a two-day immersive leadership experience unlike anything they’d done before. The brief was clear: no sitting around, no death by PowerPoint, no business-as-usual, we want the works!
The
Shift
To fulfil on the brief, Myke didn’t just run sessions—he designed an experience that reframed what leadership means at MMSG.
From the very first moment, every touchpoint was engineered to spark energy, intimacy, and reflection. We replaced tired formats with real conversation. We turned information into interaction, and strategy into story.
The experience invited leaders to step into their next chapter with intention: rewriting job descriptions that honored their true gifts, engaging in rituals of gratitude and creative risk, and declaring and personalising a new kind of leadership at MMS. Bold, human, connected.
These weren’t just activities. They were acts of culture, woven seamlessly together in a powerful transformative arc. Each session created the conditions for psychological safety, authentic self-expression, and collective alignment. And in doing so, we didn’t just run a great offsite—we helped reset the emotional rhythm of the business.
The Impact:
What unfolded was a game-changer for the business. Executives reconnected with each other and with themselves. New language, new energy, and new courage took root in the room. The conference was called “the most meaningful event we’ve ever done”—and became the benchmark for how MMSG wants to lead in the future.
Why This Matters:
When the stakes are high and the world keeps shifting, your people don’t need another leadership model—they need a line in the sand. A powerful shared experience that reminds them who they are, why they’re here, and how much more is possible.
If your leadership team needs to let go of what was and step into what could be, the best thing to do is reach out to Myke.
