We've all seen it - teams going through the motions, leaders following formulas, organisations implementing the next big framework.
But beneath the activity, something's missing.
You're not stuck. You've just been chasing what’s already inside.
Clarity isn't another program or process. It's what rises when distractions stop.
I didn't build this work from theory.
I built it from living it.
Gay. Gay-sounding. Eating Disorders. Alcoholic. Drug Addict. Divorcee. Bullied to breakdown. I survived all of it and came out the other side.
I've led teams while battling my own demons. I've implemented HR transformations while my personal life was falling apart. I've smiled in meetings minutes after crying in toilets.
And what I discovered through the mess wasn't another technique. It was clarity - a natural state that emerges when we stop fighting ourselves.
This isn't motivational speaking. This is lived experience. The tipping point that changes everything - in boardrooms, offsites or organisation-wide through Illumiaid, the leadership transformation firm where we light the fuse at scale.
Whether it's a keynote, an offsite, or a strategic workshop — these are the core shifts I help leadership teams make when clarity's missing and traction's stalled.
You're not a resource to be managed. You're irreplaceable.
Perfect for: Leadership offsites or culture-reset moments where "people fatigue" is high. Delivered as keynote, team session, or offsite intensive.
The clarity was never missing. It was buried.
Perfect for: Conference keynotes when teams feel stuck despite having good strategy. Works as a keynote or deep-dive workshop to cut through noise.
When friction meets presence, change happens.
Perfect for: Leadership retreats focused on handling difficult conversations and change. Best for teams needing to reconnect or reset under pressure.
When energy shifts, teams move.
Perfect for: Annual conferences when organisational energy needs renewal. Powerful opener or closer for transformation events.

Just start the conversation — we'll tailor it to where your team's at.
This isn’t about reframing leadership. It’s about calling time on what’s been passing for it. For those who’ve felt the disconnect — and are done pretending it still works.Pre-order information coming soon.

Maxwell Harper will guide you through actionable insights and expert strategies to help you navigate the complex world of investment.
People shift from being a resource to being resourceful. The kind AI can't touch.
What people already know gets unlocked. Decisions flow from insight, not intelligence.
Less pushing, more pulling. Energy flows toward solutions instead of getting trapped in problems.
When presence lifts, performance follows. Insight turns into traction — fast.
If your people are ready to see beyond their limits and start living from insight — I'm ready to help. We'll build the session around your people — to spark what actually matters.
Sometimes it's a keynote, a workshop or an offsite. Whatever the format — the goal is the same: get you unstuck and moving again.
David's sessions ignite the spark. Illumiaid scales the change.
Moods Lift, Mountains Move.
