The challenge

In 2023, Sky New Zealand was navigating a rapidly changing market, intense new competition and a disengaged workforce. Incoming CEO Sophie Moloney moved quickly to reshape the culture — and brought in Leadership Boost to help.

The programme

A multi-layer Boost Programme for 100 leaders across the organisation — from executives (including CE) to frontline. This involved 8 monthly in-person leadership events, a full Leadership Boost Toolkit, and a new rhythm of leadership conversations embedded across the business.

The results

  • Year 1: Staff engagement up +14% (Culture Amp)

  • Year 2: Up a further +1%

  • Year 3: Up a further +7%

Three consecutive years of improvement — through restructures, redundancies and a merger.
Leadership Boost continues to run new cohorts at Sky today, alongside ongoing Quarterly Boost sessions.

What did they say?

Jes and Bex have been great partners to Sky throughout our leadership enhancement programme. They are both experts in leadership, coaching, facilitation and highly collaborative. They generously share their expertise and deeply listen to our company context and needs in order to co-create bespoke solutions that powerfully and directly address our requirements.

We have seen measurable uplifts in our success measures use to their work with our people leaders. I am grateful for their partnership.
