Bournemouth Recruitment Leader Experience

Most recruitment leaders are the best problem-solver in the room. That's also their biggest problem.

The team is busy. Activity is everywhere. But the business still runs through you. You're still the escalation point. Managers haven't fully stepped up. Performance conversations repeat without changing behaviour.

You can feel the ambition - and the strain of holding it all together.

That tension doesn't fix itself. But it is fixable.

This is a coaching-style experience for founders and leaders who are ready to stop being the load-bearing wall. No theory. No frameworks you'll never use. Just the real leadership situations you're living - worked through with a small group of people who get it.

Through practical exercises, peer discussion, and coaching, you'll explore how small shifts in leadership approach produce very different outcomes.

The setting is intentional. Part of your session takes place outside - walking conversations, fresh air, and the kind of clarity you can't manufacture at a desk. Distance from the day-to-day has a way of making the path forward suddenly obvious.

You may even end up with your feet in the sea. We're not sorry about that.

Clearer ways to raise standards without stepping in. Better performance conversations. A sharper eye for where you're unintentionally limiting growth. And one realisation most founders don't see coming:

The next phase of growth doesn't come from pushing the team harder. It comes from building leadership capability inside the business — so it can grow without depending on you.

If your business only performs best when you're close to it, this session is for you.

*The event concludes with complimentary networking drinks.

Clair Mohamed, Recruitment Leader & Performance Coach

I work with recruitment founders and leadership teams who are serious about performance.

We build performance ecosystems - managers who can actually coach, teams who can sell and influence, and ways of working that make AI and tech useful without losing the human core of the business.

Twenty years in recruitment and L&D. Scaling teams, developing managers, designing programmes that stick.

I'm not a one-off workshop. I'm the extension of your leadership team you bring in when you want your people to think sharper, communicate better, and deliver more.

After 30 years in recruitment, I honestly thought I knew everything there was to know. Working with Clair has been a great reminder that there’s always more to learn. She brings fresh ideas, helpful nudges, and new ways of thinking, and does it all in a really supportive, down-to-earth way. She’s helped me sharpen my thinking and tweak my approach - and she makes it genuinely enjoyable. Sally Woods, Director, Search Tech

Chris Aitken, VP of Sales, OneUp Sales

Chris has spent his career at the sharp end of sales - from TripAdvisor to SaaS, across EMEA and globally. He knows what high-performing sales cultures look like, what breaks them, and what it actually takes to build one.

As VP of Sales at OneUp Sales, he works alongside recruitment businesses every day, so when he talks about performance, pipeline, and what separates the teams that deliver from the ones that just stay busy, it comes from the coalface, not a textbook.

Maria Vavoulas, Business Leader & Personal Excellerator

I help recruitment leaders solve operational challenges, scale smarter & make better decisions.

I work with recruitment and professional services businesses that want structured thinking, clear priorities and practical delivery.

I use structured frameworks to turn insight into action - whether in a boardroom or workshop. I collaborate with founders and leadership teams to clarify what needs to happen, who owns it, and how it gets done. I stay involved - through retained support, follow-up sessions, or project-based execution.

One of the best people I have ever worked with, in any capacity, ever. If you have the chance to work with Maria, do not delay. I wish I knew Maria before I did. Simon Lewis, Founder, Playing Injured
