We Believe...

…flourishing at work benefits the whole of society.

…people in every organisation have the capacity to thrive, even in the most challenging circumstances.

…bespoke solutions are better because each organisation’s culture is different.

…learning, embracing the capacity for change and driving performance comes from courageous conversations. We call that ‘putting the fish on the table’(Kohlrieser, 2006).

We coach. We train. You change. We are different. Give us a try.

What We are Good at

  • helping people form productive relationships
  • we work at a psychological level, deeper than most leadership consultants, to get to the crux of why people think the way they do, behave the way they do and feel the way they do and what needs to change
  • we work with the thing that people don’t want to talk about, picking up on what’s not being said in the room, and not letting people get away with it
  • we’re good at getting to the heart of the problem, the crux of what’s wrong or what needs to be different
  • developing confidence and trust – psychological safety
  • creating an environment in which people feel safe to be able to talk about their experience at work and how they feel. We do what needs to be done, not surface level work. This is the essential process in managing change
  • we bring warmth, understanding, challenge, respect and humour to the work
  • we’re very good at explaining complex organisational, relational and psychological theories and models, in a way that is relatable to the work that you do to take back into your day-to-day roles

How We Work

Our approach is rooted in psychology and understanding why people think, feel and behave the way they do. We blend coaching, experiential learning and training to develop our clients’ understanding of their behaviour to make sustainable improvements. Our ambition if for transformational change so we don’t just scratch the surface, we get to the heart of things: to ‘put the fish on the table’.

Evaluation

We want to know we have made a difference for our clients. We gather evidence before, during and after our work to provide our clients with data describing the relationship between expectations and outcomes. This process is important for our own assessment of our performance and the quality of the relationship with our clients.
