Client testimonials

The impact of working with Lockstep has been awakening. It helped me surface blind spots, reframe the questions I ask of myself and my business, and engage my executive team in transformative conversations about relevance, leadership energy, and the need for bold shifts rather than incremental enhancements.

Daniel Hatfield – CEO, Edge Growth

Rowan and the Lockstep team have been long-time advisors and coaches for the Daily Maverick leadership team. Initially, as a CEO coach and then guiding the formation and development of a leadership body, Rowan has helped make leadership unknowns known and practical.

Dealing with sceptical newsroom creatures, Rowan and Lockstep handled our team with the necessary care and pace to help transform our leadership and, ultimately, our business. They are unique in what they do and how they do it. We are huge fans and grateful to have worked with them over many years.

Styli Charalambous – CEO and co-founder, Daily Maverick

Lockstep changed the whole way that we run our business by unearthing our potential and showing us how to unlock it. They left nothing undone. The success and the growth that our business and our staff have experienced, would not have been possible without Lockstep.

Peter van Niekerk – Co-owner, Cape Garden Centre

Working with Lockstep over the past decade has been transformative for both my personal and professional journey. I met them as a young founder and CEO in my twenties, and they helped shape me and my leadership team into well-rounded leaders, who no longer just rely on drive and hustle, but have grown in wisdom and maturity, to elevate our organisation
