Connected Peace
Connected Peace is a leadership consultancy and coaching practice that helps organisations improve performance by addressing the hidden pressure points that disrupt strategy execution. Rather than focusing purely on strategy creation, the business specialises in ensuring that strategies translate effectively into delivery, particularly in high-pressure, complex environments where leadership teams are stretched.
Founded by executive coach and strategist Nic McDonald, Connected Peace works with senior leaders and organisations to identify where execution is slowing down, decisions are being revisited, or teams are becoming bottlenecks. The core premise is that many organisations don’t have a strategy problem, but a “pressure problem,” where over-reliance on key individuals leads to burnout, inefficiency, and reduced performance over time.
The company offers a mix of services including strategic advisory, leadership coaching, and team development programmes. These range from system-level diagnostics and strategy-to-delivery reviews, to team capacity acceleration and one-on-one executive coaching. Their approach combines practical business strategy with human-centred methods such as resilience building, nervous system awareness, and leadership development.
Overall, Connected Peace positions itself as a partner to organisations seeking sustainable performance, helping leaders maintain clarity, improve decision-making, and build resilient, high-performing teams that can deliver results without relying on unsustainable effort or “hero leadership.”
