CONSULTANCY
Our main focus is to equip you and your leadership team for the journey ahead. The precise approach is entirely dependent on who you are as a business, where you’re going and where you are now.
The problem we solve is the problem that you need to fix, and the challenges we help you work through are the ones that will have (or are having) the biggest impact on your business.
That said, we’re not about quick-fix, paper-over-the-cracks solution: we prefer to work with clients for between 6 and 12 months to ensure that you have strong foundations in place for sustainable and ongoing business growth.
We’ll work with you to create the right balance between driving shareholder value, customer focus and employee engagement, building the equity value of your business whilst driving sales and maintaining a motivated, high performing team.
We’ll leverage your business superpowers, and fill any gaps that you may have missed, giving you the best possible platform for future growth.
COACHING
You or members of your team may need some one-to-one support as they build the confidence and skills to tackle new challenges, step into new roles, and set new and ambitious agendas.
Our experienced, qualified associate coaches provide the space and time for insight, challenge and encouragement whilst being a sounding board and, where required, a guide. All have years of experience working with business leaders and executives around the world.
Absolutely focused on you as well as your business role, this is about you as a whole person, not just a business leader.

-

LEADERSHIP RETREATS
It may feel like the last thing you have time for is to take 2-3 days out of your business.
If you DO feel like this... Now is exactly the time to do it, before you become too overwhelmed and lose sight of the forest for the trees.
Our experiential leadership retreats are for leadership teams whose businesses are poised for growth and change.
Over the course of 2-3 days, we dig deep into past experiences and how they impact on current circumstances, shining a light on thinking patterns that no long serve you or your business, and collectively defining a new way forward, building trust, clarifying direction and de-cluttering communication.
Profound - even life changing – and requiring skilled facilitation, no two events are ever the same.
