Transforming leaders, empowering teams.

Harness the power of creative leadership, emotional intelligence, and neuroscience to build motivated, resilient and high-performing teams.

"Employee engagement and wellness are finally taking center stage in the business world.

For too long, they have been viewed as the responsibility of the HR department and not an integral part of business strategy. However, it is increasingly clear that unhealthy and unengaged employees are a drag on productivity, innovation, and the bottom line."

Meet the founder

Hi, I’m Donna — founder of the Dynamic Potential Academy, where Creative Leadership training meets emotional intelligence and well-being.

Too many people feel stuck, disconnected, or burnt out in how they work and lead. The Academy offers a refreshing alternative — a playful, practical space to grow confident, creative leaders.

We use neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and creativity to build stronger connections and more human ways of working. Think of it as turning rocks into sponges — surprising, effective, and good for everyone.

Develop emotional intelligence.

Foster creative leadership.

Prevent burnout and retain happy teams.

What we offer.

  • Empower – Creative Leadership

    Creative Leadership for the Future

    Build emotionally intelligent, creative leadership practices.

  • Thrive – Creative Wellness

    Creative Wellness for Sustainable Performance

    Build resilience, reconnect purpose, and prioritise well-being — together.

  • Unite – Team Alignment & Connection

    Play, Connect, Align.

    Gamified team building that strengthens trust, values, and momentum.

Who we work with.

We support leaders, teams, and organisations who are ready to:

  • Navigate change and complexity with confidence

  • Lead with emotional clarity and creativity

  • Build psychologically safe, thriving cultures

  • Prioritise well-being without sacrificing performance

  • Foster cultures of creativity and sustainable success

Our approach.

We combine Neuroscience + EQ / EI + Creativity:

  • Neuroscience & Emotional Intelligence – Grounded, evidence-based insights.

  • Creative, Experiential Learning – Not just talking, but doing and reflecting.

  • Safe, Human-Centred Spaces – Because growth needs trust.

  • Real Talk & Practical Tools – For leaders who want depth, not fluff.

How do we cultivate that space?

Creativity and innovation can flourish by setting a Psychologically Safe Space for honest conversations.

Include creative flow activities, such as Design Thinking, LEGO® Serious Play®, and Co-Design, as well as just chatting and doodling. Neuroscientific research shows the benefits of creative-based flow activities connected with reflective thinking tasks.

Whatever comes out, comes out. Reflection and Connection are the cornerstones of my sessions, and from that, significant growth emerges.

Develop new skills.

Increase productivity.

Create happier teams.

Prioritised Experiential Learning

Linked Well-Being & Business Outcomes

Real-time metrics and KPIs to demonstrate ROI. e.g. before-and-after assessments can show improvements in team engagement, communication, or stress levels, which can be tied to organisational performance indicators.

    Laura Nyahuye, Artistic Director @ Maokwo | Artist | Storyteller | TEDxSpeaker | Teacher (PGT) | PhD

  • “The DPA is a safe space that provides social interaction with others and encourages inward reflection and exploration of new possibilities. I leapt over my limitations and boundaries and sensed new energy from new perspectives”.

    Nomatter Sande, Interdisciplinary Researcher | Religion | Social Change / Transformation

  • “I now feel that I am much more in tune with who I want to be and who I currently am. I am able to make better decisions and ask others for support when I struggle with decisions, and I am able to put my foot down and ask questions which might have been difficult for me in the past.”

    Tabitha Odutayo, Dressing and Production Coordinator

  • “This approach resulted in a total mindset shift where I began to feel empowered with a growth mindset. I feel like I'm moving forward, tapping into my skillsets and strengths. She really got me thinking outside the box.”
