Learn From World-Changing Leaders

Virtual fireside chats where we dive into real-world experience and learn together.

Masterclasses

About The Impact Equation

From social entrepreneurs to bold thinkers, each episode explores what it really takes to create lasting change.

What is a Masterclass?

A Masterclass is a virtual fireside chat where we hear from the experience and expertise of a leader shaping a brighter future. There are no PowerPoint slides or formal presentations - just honest conversations with guest speakers who share the practical lessons they've learned.

We encourage audience participation throughout, turning each session into a collaborative learning experience where everyone can ask questions and connect the dots between different perspectives. It's the kind of conversation you'd want to have over coffee with someone whose brain you'd love to pick, but opened up to the entire community.

Why We Run Masterclasses?

We run free Masterclasses because we believe that being generous with knowledge will create lots of opportunity for impact. Instead of doing endless one-on-one introductions, we ask the amazing people we meet to share their expertise. This approach has created opportunities we never expected.

When someone like Mikela Druckman shares how she built Greyparrot, or Sayyeda Salam explains how she keeps teams together in war zones, that wisdom doesn't get diluted by being shared widely - it gets amplified. The connections, ideas, and collaborations that emerge from these sessions consistently surprise us and create value that no single introduction ever could.

“Coaching helped me in lots of ways - it helped my confidence, removed my sense of imposter syndrome, developed my empathy muscle and left me able to self reflect much better than before. Ultimately, it meant I could make better decisions and better support those around me. I found Adam to be a great listener and created a safe space for me to be vulnerable in. I felt like he asked the right questions to get me to think more deeply about a topic and I always left feeling better!”
Laurence Bargery
Co-Founder, Accurx
“Adam has been a game changer for me, and many of my colleagues, both professionally and personally. He was able to hold a mirror up, helping pull us out from the weeds to make decisions from a birds eye view. Commercially astute, having multiple businesses himself, there is a depth to Adam's coaching that is invaluable. Adam`s high emotional intelligence and strong understanding of group dynamics meant he was able to coach us to improve our collective performance.”
Jessica Rogers
Head of Transformation & Operations, Entain
“Share with Adam where you have come from, where you want to go, and he will help you draw together that thread of ambition, slice it into appetising chunks and clarify your next moments so that you step forward with confidence. In short, it is an empowering experience working with Adam, he will help you grow holistically and authentically while balancing the need for practical business steps.”
Pete Huang
Cofounder, Healthtech-1, YCombinator Alum
“I worked with Adam for a critical period in my career when I was leading a quickly growing Engineering team in a health-tech startup. Adam was hugely valuable as an external coach in helping me focus on the key decisions and questions I needed to resolve, how to sequence them, and when to trigger significant changes. He worked hard to get deep context and understanding of me, the team and wider company context, remaining very personable, encouraging and supportive throughout our coaching relationship. I would strongly recommend him.”
Ben Osborne
CTO, Accurx
“I came to Adam for coaching as my startup was going through a transitional phase and I needed help exploring and evaluating the different options. Adam really helped me work through all these options and identify the right approach to making a decision. Through his coaching, I was able to identify the right questions to ask myself, the decision-making framework and the tools to use throughout the process. Adam was able to distil all the information quickly into key takeaways and useful insights, was an excellent sounding-board and was able to provide the right frameworks to make my decision.”
Gideon Chain
CEO & Founder, Kidswell Health
“I turned to Adam at a crucial point in our business. His coaching extended far beyond pragmatic advice on the intricacies of efficiently navigating this process. What truly sets Adam apart, and where I believe his immense value lies, is his exceptional empathy and the vast space he provided for me to navigate my emotions whilst also dealing with the practicalities. Adam is not one to withhold, and that forthrightness proved to be exactly what I needed. Importantly, he skillfully posed the right questions, ensuring that, at no point, did I feel detached from my own intuition during this challenging decision-making process.”

Creative Director & Cofounder, Onloan
