Coaching
We provide professional executive coaching to CEOs, Boards, leaders and high potentials for performance, growth and transformation.
Our starting point is always to help coachees define success in their own terms and that of key stakeholders, and then to support them to realise their goals.
While our coaches bring the commercial credibility and rich diversity you would expect, research suggests that mindful coaches enable greater innovation and transformational change. Conscious coaches create the conditions for conscious leaders to flourish.

Teams
Our experience tells us that Google’s Project Aristotle has it right.
We use these insights to build high performing, innovative teams with a focus on psychological safety and high trust.
Our powerful team development process gathers data from key stakeholders and holds this up as a mirror so the team can see itself more clearly. From this they can make the adaptive adjustments they need to achieve higher levels of performance and flow.
We also teach teams the power of generative listening to transform their team meetings.
Leadership
We enable conscious leaders through
Leadership Agility and
Mindfulness
Leadership Agility reflects ways of thinking and behaving that can be coached and developed in their own right. However, research also suggests that the most agile leaders typically develop some kind of mindfulness practice that equips them to deal with complex, rapidly changing environments and to transform the organisations they lead (Joiner and Joseph, 2006).

Leadership Agility
Global leadership and organisation development experts agree that command & control, pacesetting and heroic leadership styles are no longer sufficient to navigate today’s technology driven, VUCA operating environment
Vertical leadership development helps identify post-heroic leaders with the capacities to transform the organisations they lead. It also provides simple practices to develop the capacity of all leaders to provide inclusive, inquiry-based leadership.
We draw on the Leadership Agility 360 and the Leadership Development Profile (LDP) to assess and develop leaders and use Action Inquiry to enable leadership and organisation transformation.
Mindfulness
The awareness that arises from…
paying attention to what’s happening in the present moment, in one’s self, others and the external environment with an attitude of openness, curiosity and kindness.
There are few practices that produce as many benefits on as many levels as mindfulness. What was once alternative is now coming into the mainstream. Google’s most popular program is a mindfulness process called Search Inside Yourself.
From a vertical perspective, the regular practice of turning inward and observing one’s own thoughts helps leaders observe the constant process of their own mean-making.

This two day Mindfulness Based Emotional Intelligence programme blends mindfulness, emotional intelligence and the latest neuroscience. It has been Google’s most popular and highly rated programme for over ten years. It’s now scaling globally well beyond Google due to its impressive impact on focus, innovation, resilience, leadership trust and engagement.
This is change from the inside out.
And if you’d like us to, we can tailor mindfulness programmes specifically to your needs.

Coach Training
We develop leaders to become transformational coaches in their day to day roles.
We also train professional internal coaches to ICF standards so they can take on coaching assignments to support talent and organisation development strategies.
In addition, Mindfulness for Coaches explores how professional executive coaches can use mindfulness to become more deeply attuned to themselves and their coachees, enabling greater innovation and transformational change.
