We help develop the leaders who build thriving organisations

We envisage a world where thriving workplace cultures are the norm, where everybody expresses their full human potential and makes a meaningful difference.

We help develop leaders who are skilled at focusing on what matters most at work.

Leaders who create environments of thriving, who develop those around them, who understand the power of our human gifts and are prepared to challenge unhelpful behaviour.

Leaders who thrive themselves, knowing that their own quality of energy has an impact on their teams.

Leaders who understand what drives and motivates people. They are confident to lead with purpose and attuned to the human dynamics that arise in all groups.

Organisation, team and leadership development

We design and deliver customised, experiential and pragmatic senior leadership development programmes in partnership with our clients. They are culture-specific and sensitive to the organisation’s broader context.

We support clients to evolve thriving organisational cultures. This work begins with a diagnostic to identify organisational challenges and opportunities. We use a proven culture model and support clients to make positive and productive changes and, ultimately, work with the organisation to design and deliver a strategic culture map.

We use our proven methodologies to optimise dynamics for team thriving. We help leaders and teams to activate the 6 elements of thriving teams and unlock the potential for thriving.

Here’s How

Room To Learn

We have had some recent conversations with groups who are considering office moves or redesigns as they think about their social strategies upfront. In the light of these exchanges, I read Priya Parker’s helpful book “The Art of Gathering” and re-read Stewart Brand’s 1990s classic “How Buildings Learn”. The latter begins with an observation that rings true for 2024:

“Between the world and our idea of the world is a fascinating kink. Architecture, we imagine, is permanent. And so our buildings thwart us. Because they discount time, they misuse time.”
