Luft means air. Space to breathe.
The Beginning
I was an actor before any of this.
Twenty years ago, I stood in front of audiences for a living. I learned something that most leadership training misses, you don’t get better by talking about it, you get better by doing it.
What We Believe
Difference isn't something we recognise. It's how we work.
Every design starts with the people in the room — their backgrounds, their learning styles, their lived experience.
As a Jewish man, I know what it’s like to wonder if you belong. That awareness runs through everything we do.
Meet The Team
Ben Nathan
Ben built Luft on a simple belief: we learn best by doing. Before coaching he was an actor, and that background shapes everything — the way sessions are designed, the emphasis on presence and voice, the insistence that practice beats theory every time.
EMCC and ILM accredited. Your single point of contact from discovery call to final evaluation.

Jide Fado
Jide is a trained actor who works in leadership development — presence, confidence, inclusion. His facilitation is experiential and practical. He helps people communicate with clarity, navigate difficult conversations, and show up as themselves.
Outside the training room, he’s drawn to community, conversation, and storytelling. He cares deeply about creating belonging — particularly for young Black people forming their identity.

How We WOrk
Curiosity first.
We don’t send a menu of programmes. We explore key questions. What’s going on in your team? What conversations are avoided? What does success look like?
Then we design from scratch, every workshop, every session, every scenario, all built around your reality.
