When a keynote isn't enough to shift the culture
A talk can light the fire. Changing how a team actually thinks and behaves takes practice, over time, with the right support. That's the work Gilan cares about most.
Most leadership development is content-led. Someone stands at the front, shares a model, and everyone nods. Three weeks later, nothing has changed.
Gilan's work is practice-led. He gives leaders frameworks, of course, but the frameworks are scaffolding. The real value is in helping leaders practise the shift and experience it for themselves, in real situations they're actually navigating. It's built on honest dialogue and real case work from his time with leaders across more than 40 countries, not on theory handed down from a lectern.
And because he reads people for a living, Gilan tends to notice the dynamics in a team that aren't being said out loud, which is usually where the real work is.
The flagship: a culture transformation programme that holds
The Growth-Culture Accelerator is Gilan's multi-month programme for organisations serious about changing their culture, not just talking about it. It combines a measurable diagnostic, growth-mindset foundations, the inner-game practice of the PEAK Method, the interpersonal work of feedback and healthy conflict, and a way of cascading the shift through the wider organisation.
It runs over 6 to 12 months and is built bespoke around your situation.
It's anchored by the GCA Assessment, a 20-minute online diagnostic that scores your team across 7 factors and 25 sub-themes, run at the start and end so you can actually see what moved.
Sequenced to fit your situation
You don't have to commit to a year of work to find out whether this is right for you.
Most engagements start small. From there, if it makes sense, you design a tailored programme together. If it doesn't, you'll still walk away with a clear picture of your team's culture, which is worth having on its own.
A short, no-obligation call so Gilan can understand what you're dealing with.
The GCA Assessment with your Exco or senior team, to get an honest read on where the culture actually is.
A half-day growth-culture workshop, where the team experiences the work first-hand.
Across the leaders who've committed to this mindset-first work, the GCA Assessment and participant feedback show consistent movement. Around 90% report a tangible shift in trust and psychological safety, and similar proportions report improvements in healthy conflict, mutual accountability, and focus on collective growth. The average rating from participants sits at about 9.5 out of 10.
A note of honesty about these numbers. Things like trust and psychological safety are hard to measure, and any figure is a self-reported snapshot, not a law of physics. Gilan shares them because the pattern is real and consistent, not because culture reduces to a percentage.
Gilan provided a structured approach to deepening our growth mindset, fully aligning with our vision and strategy. Many have remarked that our team has never been more cohesive and aligned. We recommend this course to any team looking at enhancing their performance culture.
As an already high-performing team, the focus areas we identified with you and the assessment really resonated with us and helped us to further improve our team performance.
