At the heart of Sparked Potential is Kaye Meadows – founder, consultant, coach, and someone who has spent more than 20 years immersed in the world of learning and development. Over the years, I’ve worked across a wide range of industries, but one passion has always remained constant: helping people recognise the incredible potential they already hold within themselves, and supporting them in transforming that potential into confidence, capability, and meaningful skill.
I created Sparked Potential because I believe learning should start with the human being, not the business target. When we put people first – their self-belief, their growth, their sense of safety and connection – performance naturally follows. Culture strengthens. Wellbeing improves. Loyalty grows. That ripple effect is what inspires the work we do every day.
A particular area where I feel most energised (and where I can create the biggest impact) is middle management. These are the people navigating pressures from every direction, yet they hold incredible influence over team morale, performance, and culture. When we support managers to connect, lead, and communicate effectively, organisations transform from the inside out.
As an Insights Discovery accredited practitioner and experienced coach, I love getting in a room with participants – sparking the thought that becomes a conversation, which then becomes real-life, practical change. I bring energy, fun, and a warm, motivational approach to every session, adapting to the people in front of me and meeting them where they are.
I believe that learning is most powerful when it’s built on partnership and real connection. My work is guided by purpose and energy – because meaningful change happens when people feel seen, heard, and supported as they explore new ways of thinking and behaving. I also believe that growth should be enjoyable; when people have fun while learning, curiosity and creativity flourish. At Sparked Potential, every session is designed to leave participants feeling inspired, capable, and confident in taking the next steps forward.

Outside of work, I like to keep life interesting… I’m a B-licence skydiver with more than 100 jumps, and yes – every single one still gets my heart racing! I’ve even competed in the British Indoor Skydiving Nationals Championships– proving I love a challenge as much as a thrill. Don’t worry, I haven’t launched any clients out of a plane in the name of team building… although, if you’re feeling brave, I could be persuaded!
When I’m not in the air, you’ll often find me dancing my heart out in Zumba, going to festivals and soaking up live music, or hitting the road in our family camper van, discovering new places and creating memories wherever we go. I also love adventures across the world, whether that’s exploring new cultures, hiking in stunning landscapes, or seeking out experiences that push me out of my comfort zone. Life is for experiencing fully, and I try to bring that same sense of curiosity and energy into everything I do – both personally and professionally.
At Sparked Potential, it’s just me – which means when you work with us, you’ll be working directly with one person every step of the way. You won’t be passed between different consultants or trainers; the guidance, support, and insight you receive comes entirely from my experience, knowledge, and personal approach.
If you’d like to explore how we can work together – whether it’s leadership development, management training, or something uniquely tailored to your organisation – we’d love to hear from you.
