After leading major consulting programmes across 37 countries, he shifted his focus to one persistent issue: most managers are never trained to manage. Through Notion, Dominic developed Operational Coaching®, a practical approach that embeds coaching into the daily flow of work rather than treating it as an additional task. The result is a fundamental shift from “superworker” managers who solve everything themselves to “enablers” who unlock the potential of their teams. What makes his work stand out is the emphasis on measurable outcomes. Backed by research, including studies with the London School of Economics, his programmes have demonstrated significant improvements in productivity, engagement, and retention, alongside reported returns as high as 74x. This is not leadership theory; it’s operational capability.*********************************************************************Proposed Interview Questions: 1.
