"Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently".
William Isaacson
HELLO
I'm Damian Kirk - high-impact leader, mentor, consultant, and unapologetic challenger of the status quo.
I’ve spent my career leading and transforming large, complex organisations where pressure is high, pace is relentless, and results matter. I’ve built and led huge operational teams, delivered multi-million-pound outcomes, and faced just about every leadership challenge you can imagine.
What I’ve learned is simple: to achieve great things, you have to lead differently. Traditional leadership might hit targets, but it’ll never create extraordinary results that last.
WHY REBELLIOUS LEADERSHIP?
I founded The Rebellious Leader because my success came from rewriting the rules - from challenging the norm, from being a rebel.
I’m a disruptor, a divergent thinker, a people-first leader. I never fit the corporate mould - yet I delivered results others thought impossible and built teams people loved to be part of.
Now I’m here to show you how rebellious leadership really works - and how simple it can be to set your business up for success.
My mission is to build a global movement of leaders who think differently, play to their strengths, and make a real impact without losing what makes them human. It’s about cutting the noise, leading with intent, and creating momentum people want to be part of.
WHO I WORK WITH
I work with ambitious leaders who want to achieve extraordinary results - and are willing to challenge how things get done to make it happen.
You know your business can go further, faster - but something’s in the way. Maybe it’s complexity, conventional thinking, or the culture around you. That’s where I come in.
I work with:
CEOs and senior leaders ready to raise the bar and deliver extraordinary results with energy and pace.
Operational and functional leaders under pressure to deliver transformation without losing their people.
Leadership teams who want to reconnect, reset their rhythm, and move from good to unstoppable.
Emerging leaders who want to grow fast, think boldly, and lead with impact.
If you’re serious about performance, pace, and progress - not politics - we’ll get on well.
WHAT I DO
I don’t turn up with a slide deck or a team of analysts - I co-create with you. You don’t need a big consultancy or another complex framework. You and your team already have the strengths - I help you unlock them and turn them into results you never thought possible.

WELCOME TO THE REBEL FRAMEWORK
™
Six practical pillars that set leaders and teams up for success - built on real experience, not theory.
I use them to cut through the corporate nonsense and get leaders focused on what really drives results - people, clarity, and action.
Great leadership starts on the inside.
Confidence, clarity, and mindset shape how you show up. The more self-aware you are, the more intentional and impactful your leadership becomes.
Focus on people, unlock performance.
People thrive when they feel like the priority. Build trust, remove friction, and create space for others to step up. When people feel safe and valued, performance follows.
Think like a customer.
See through your customer’s eyes. Focus on what matters most, fix what gets in their way, and deliver outcomes they’d thank you for.
Deliver. Consistently.
Clear goals, accountability, and rhythm keep everyone focused on what matters - and deliver consistently outstanding results.
How you work defines
how far you go.
Clear principles, shared behaviours, and trust create flow. When everyone moves with clarity, progress feels effortless.
Stay restless for what’s next.
Stay curious, bold, and ready for what’s next. Keep learning, experimenting, and shape the future with confidence and intent.
I’ve also turned these six pillars into a practical diagnostic tool - a way to see how you’re really leading and where you can make the biggest impact. Give it a go.
Are you ready to
make an impact?
