Coaching
Coaching is one of the most effective ways to impact an individual’s development. Our passion is unlocking potential through 1-1 and team coaching. Ruthlessly compassionate, we invest time and effort into these sessions to build the momentum required for real change. We may also use psychometric and behavioural assessment tools to support self-awareness.
The typical coaching process involves:
- A ‘pre’ meeting to agree the area(s) of focus and any ground rules
- A coaching program would involve around six sessions
- A ‘post’ meeting to reflect on the experience and progress made.
Each session is around 90 minutes long, and the content will varies, dependent upon the individual’s own needs, the area(s) of focus, and what’s getting in their way. It is, after all, a uniquely individual experience.
Our client list often consists of small business owners, independent professionals and executive leaders with large business portfolios in complex multi-national roles.
We also work directly with:
- Individuals who are looking for support in their professional development or career transition.
- Organisations who wish to help their talent or senior leaders move forward.
How we can help:
Having worked in corporate environments within executive leadership teams, and having led our own functional and project teams, we are well-equipped to understand the challenges of leadership.
Our coaching engagements allow leaders the required space, time and appropriate challenge to work through issues standing in the way of higher performance.
Examples include:
- dealing with team dysfunction;
- influencing key stakeholders;
- enhancing executive presence, as well as
- managing feelings of self-doubt, overwhelm, and stress.
Teams are fundamental to optimal organisational performance.
Team coaching provides the support needed to establish new habits and behaviours for optimal team performance and engagement.
This type of coaching helps ensure agreements carry through, post team development, in ways such as:
- new ways of working;
- Understanding different personality styles;
- Creating a common purpose, or
- Deciding upon better team behaviours and values.
Where a group of people is not an established, intact team, we offer group coaching to inspire change.
This experience can be impactful when bringing a group of individuals or leaders together for a specific purpose, such as high potential talent development, cross-company leadership development, or to support a group project where members are spread across the organisation, or several organisations.
We also utilise this methodology for non-competitive leaders coming together in open programs that we run.

Development
Each client that comes to us for support brings with them a complex system involving the individual, a team working with another team, a business function, an executive team, a strategy, a purpose, an organisation, and a market.
To add to the complexity, this system sits within their specific industry, embedded in the wider economy.
For this reason, we always treat each client as unique, delivering on our philosophy that we:
Listen to understand
Tailor to create solutions
Enable you to deliver
Commit to lasting change
Each development solution we create is unique and based on our understanding of your circumstances. We won’t lift a program off the shelf and simply turn up to deliver this. We will work with you to tailor a solution and partner with you to ensure we deliver the right results.
How we can help:
We use many different psychometric and behavioural assessment tools to understand an individual’s own motivating or preferred behaviours, and to start the process of appreciation – “what does it feel like to be led by me?”
We work with our clients to really understand what it means to lead, how to create followers rather than direct reports, improve conversations at all levels, and create the kind of business impact that true leadership inspires.
Teams are fundamental to optimal organisational performance.
We deliver team development solutions that:
- enhance performance, including cultivating a team purpose;
- educate how to be a good team member;
- identify new ways of working as a team;
- improve understanding of different personality styles to get the best out of others;
- establish team behaviours and values;
- improve psychological safety, connections, and relationships.
We encourage ‘Team Development’ be paired with ‘Team Coaching‘ to ensure members are supported to establish new habits and behaviours for optimal team performance, and engagement.
We provide a range of psychometric tools to support all stages of the talent lifecycle.
We have tools to support you, whether you are looking for:
- Aptitude testing to compliment your recruitment process;
- 360° assessments to support coaching and development;
- Personality profiling to assist with team development;
- Culture and Engagement surveys to understand the levers for change.
Using our psychometric tools, we can help you to:
- select and develop outstanding talent;
- learn what motivates those who work in your organisation;
- understand the strengths and development needs of team members, and
- standardise your assessment, selection and development processes to make them more objective and rigorous.
Our team is accredited in a range of tools including Myers Biggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Predictive Index (PI), Mental Toughness Questionnaire (MTQ), The Quest Profiler Personality Questionnaire, and various other aptitude testing tools.
There’s a great deal of evidence and good business sense for focussing on the wellbeing of your people. Those who have a higher level of wellbeing are six times more likely to be engaged, 29% more likely to be productive, 125% less likely to burn out and 30% less likely to quit.
We work with our clients to make sure wellbeing practices are intelligently embedded into daily mindsets, behaviours, leadership approaches, operating rhythms, and ways of working. All our content is tailored to ensure we reflect the needs of our client’s work environment and the wellbeing needs of their people.

Talent
Talent in any business is the difference between good performance and exceptional performance. Hiring, inspiring and maximising the talent in your organisation and in your team is a no-brainer when it comes to wanting to achieve your business goals.
According to research, companies with highly effective talent management strategies on average achieve 26% higher revenue per employee and 41% lower turnover among high-performing employees. In addition, companies excelling in talent management can increase earnings by nearly 15%. Numbers not to be sneezed at.
We believe talent in any organisation can come from anywhere, so it’s crucial to have the right tools available to identify, evaluate, develop and encourage it. Delivering this level of focus and attention has enabled our clients to achieve the business performance and success they are looking for.
How we can help:
As experienced observers, using robust tools and bespoke structures, we are able to provide deep insight into the potential of our client’s talent.
Understanding this potential allows for the right decisions to be made about roles, breadth and scope of leadership, and long-term succession.
Typically, the outcome of the assessment is either to identify potential for current and/or future roles, or to create robust development plans to get your people ready. Whichever you need, we can help with designing and delivering assessments that work.
If you’re looking to build organisational strength or seek to establish future roles and understand potential, we can help make a difference.
Understanding who you have, what they are capable of doing, and what you need in the future is the basis of any talent strategy.
We help you to define what talent means in your current context, specific environment, industry and/or organisation. This includes helping you identify and assess talent, and then building plans to maximise this potential in order to deliver results for your organisation.
Making development matter enables our clients to future-proof their businesses with a talent strategy that works. For this reason, we always treat each strategy as unique, delivering on our philosophy, that we:
Listen to understand
Tailor to create solutions
Enable you to deliver
Commit to lasting change
There is no doubt that high-achieving individuals, the ones who grow your business, seek ongoing challenge and development. If they are not getting this from your organisation, they will move on.
An important part of any talent-focused organisation is an investment in building the strengths of individuals considered ‘high potential’.
We work with our clients to design and deliver vigorous experiences that stretch, test and grow those individuals, building a deeper insight into their potential.
We have found our clients are particularly successful in this area when they look to connect high potential development solutions to the wider business and talent strategy. This ensures alignment between the future direction of the organisation and the pipeline of high-potential individuals ready to step up to deliver this.
