Flea Factory

Something happened after the Melbourne Reflection Morning in June.

One of the participants reached out and asked me to bring the morning to his leadership team in Launceston.

In September, I'll be in Melbourne, Launceston, Hobart and Adelaide across ten days, running Reflection Mornings and working with a specific leadership team.

This isn't what I planned when I started. It's better.

Are you someone who leads, who's running fast and carrying real responsibility?

Steve, a Melbourne participant, put it simply: "A Reflection Morning gave me permission to think, to reflect, to dream."

That's rare. That's valuable.

Don't miss the chance to slow down and truly think.

First Leadership Reflection Morning in Fremantle - 6 July.

I didn't start Leadership Reflection Mornings on a hunch.

I started them because I'd spent years paying attention - watching leaders carry real weight, real decisions, with no space to actually think. Not meetings about thinking. Actual stillness, on purpose, with no agenda but their own.

Melbourne confirmed what I'd been noticing. The reviews coming back aren't polite feedback. People are telling me this is something they didn't know they needed until they had it.

This is real. And it's only getting clearer.

That's the whole point of a Leadership Reflection Morning. Book Now!

At Waterman Chadstone today, ahead of tomorrow's first Leadership Reflection Morning in Melbourne.

Seven leaders are giving up a Friday morning to sit in a room and think honestly about what they're carrying. I don't take that lightly.

Their signage says it best, good ideas start here. Hoping tomorrow proves it.

Over the weekend, I received this.
"For leaders who spend their lives holding space for everyone else, Richard and Flea Factory offer something incredibly rare, the opportunity to step away from the constant demands and intentionally make space to think, create, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose."
- Kylie Clark-Parry, Lyn Beazley Academy, WA

Permission to pause.

That's what most leaders never get. Not because nobody cares. Because the world around them keeps moving, and stopping feels like falling behind.

A Leadership Reflection Morning is four hours of that permission. Structured, facilitated, limited to ten people.

Sometimes the thinking happens. The clarity arrives.
You know what you've been avoiding. You know what needs to change.

And then the week loads up again, and nothing moves.

An Action Session is 50 minutes of focused space to move from clarity to action. Just you and me, online, working through what you know needs to happen next.

No frameworks. No programme. Just a purposeful conversation where you think carefully, decide deliberately, and commit to what comes next out loud.

$200. Book at the link in the comments.

From a participant last Friday.

"A breath of fresh air to be real. Four hours of analog and tech-free guided reflection without hype, PowerPoints, videos, or even a hyper-curated playlist created the exact atmosphere I needed to enable me to think and reflect clearly on my current leadership, life, and goals in this season. It was fun, challenging, soul-filling." - James

Soul-filling.

That's what four hours away from the noise can do.

Over the weekend, I received this.

"It was phenomenal Richard. I truly enjoyed it and am keen to look at it quarterly or at the very least twice a year."

This was from a participant at last Friday's Leadership Reflection Morning on the Sunshine Coast.

This is what the room looks like before anyone arrives. From this morning's session on the Sunshine Coast.

A notebook. A card with a welcome note. A pencil. Morning tea on its way.

No slides. No agenda handed out. No performance required.

Just space to think.

Melbourne - 19 June. Three places left.
Adelaide - 3 July. Two places left.
