Developing your potential
Business challenge
Gavin was already at the top of his game—number one in direct sales out of a team of nineteen. His drive, determination, and results had earned him well-deserved recognition, and naturally, he was hungry for more. He wanted to step up, take on bigger challenges, and move into a more strategic role.
But when the feedback came from senior leadership, it hit hard. While they valued Gavin’s success in his current role, they didn’t see him—yet—as ready for the leap to key accounts. In their view, he was missing some of the higher-level skills needed to handle large-scale deals with multinational clients or government bodies.
That could have been the end of the road—but it wasn’t. His sales director saw something more. He believed in Gavin’s potential and didn’t want to let it go untapped. He wanted to give him a real shot at competing for that next-level role in 2016—and that’s where we came in.
Amaze™ was invited to step in, to guide Gavin on a journey of growth. Not just to refine his skills, but to unlock the kind of confidence, presence, and strategic thinking needed at the highest level. We worked alongside him, helping him develop what was already strong and discover what was still waiting to shine.
Because at Amaze™, we don’t just see where you are—we see where you could be. And we’ll walk with you to get there.
The outcome
Not only did Gavin get the chance to compete for the role when it was finally advertised—he didn’t just hold his own. He stood out.
Among six top performers from across the industry, Gavin emerged as the strongest candidate by far. Every part of the selection process—from performance benchmarks to key competencies—showed just how much he had grown and what he was truly capable of.
He stepped into the new role in March 2024, and he didn’t just hit the ground running—he soared. Today, Gavin is already 25% ahead of target.
It’s a powerful reminder that with the right support, belief, and guidance, the gap between where you are and where you want to be isn’t as wide as it seems.
At Amaze™, we’re proud to walk that journey with people like Gavin—people ready to push limits, step into something greater, and make it count.
Customer feedback
“Once Amaze™ helped me uncover my core strengths, everything started to shift. Together, we built a clear, practical plan I could put into action over the year. I won’t pretend it was easy—it wasn’t. There were moments of doubt, and some habits were hard to break.
But Amaze stuck with me. They helped me see what was really holding me back and supported me in making the behavioural changes I needed to move forward.
Looking back now, getting the promotion made every bit of effort worthwhile. The growth, the learning, the mindset shift—it all came together. I can honestly say, I wouldn’t be where I am today without the process.
I couldn’t recommend it more.”
