Every leader knows it’s essential to have the space and time to think.

Yet, most leaders don’t have it.

The quality of everything you do depends on the quality of the thinking you do first.

Grounded in The Thinking Environment®, our 90-minute, virtual, confidential one-on-one Fresh Thinking Sessions provide the conditions leaders need to think at their best.

They are ‘islands of sanity’ for busy, big-hearted leaders. Judgement-free spaces for leaders to think out loud in draft without interruption, or self-censorship.

Fresh Thinking Sessions provide the space and support we all crave, so we can move towards the things that matter most - with clarity and confidence.

“The future won’t only be shaped by new ideas. It will be shaped by the quality of the relationships we are able to create. Everywhere I look, I see people longing for spaces where they can breathe, speak honestly, listen deeply, and stay connected even when life becomes difficult. Those spaces don’t happen by accident. They are created by people who have learned how to hold them."

Kosha Joubert, CEO, Pocket Project

Meet Your Coach

Hi, I’m Cassandra Goodman

But please call me Cassie.

You know how most of the time we're just skimming the surface of our true potential? Well, I help leaders activate more of their natural, innate brilliance.

Throughout my global executive career, I relied on the support of coaches to help me stay sane, take care of myself, get back on track and like the person I was being at work, and at home.

Today, as the Founder and Director of Collective Brilliance, I love working with busy, big-hearted leaders who want to activate more of their own natural brilliance - and the brilliance in their teams and organisations.

“If you knew that you are intelligent, what thoughts would you dare to have? If you knew that you are good, where would your thinking go next? If you knew that you can figure this out, that your ideas matter, that your feelings count, that you are important, that you have choice, that you can face anything, that you can solve this even when the experts haven't, that you are a delight - what new ideas would you have in this moment?”
