What Our Coachees Gain in a Nutshell
Business leaders often limit themselves to setting goals according to what they know how to do.
We help coachees step out of the constraints of their current experience to speculate boldly on what’s really possible for their business.
We help them stay committed to that new possibility even as it challenges the core of their identity.
Our coaching approach emphasises the importance of authentic engagement with others. Coachees learn to cultivate genuine connections and communicate with impact, fostering trust, collaboration, and ultimately a new level of performance from their organisation.
Through our coaching, we help leaders create a new context for accountability for their teams. By removing the moral attachments often linked to accountability, leaders help can help their people step up and take on big goals they might previously have shied away from.
We provide support and guidance for our coachees to identify and address counterproductive behaviours that may be hindering their progress. By holding up a mirror and helping our coachees see what is and isn’t working for them, as well as the roots of their dysfunctional patterns. By going ‘underneath the underneath’ with our coachees, we equip them be the best version of themselves even more of the time.
Great leadership lies in the ability to re-frame any situation.
Not pollyannaism, but accepting current reality, then using this as fuel to find creative possibilities.
We help our coachees master the art of the re-frame.
Business leadership is 24/7 resilience training.
How to stay energised under prolonged periods of stress?
The key to resilience is learning when and how you get ‘hooked’ by people, places and things.
We help our coachees recognise when they’ve gotten drawn into a situation that is unnecessarily sapping their energy.
As our coachees learn to unhook, they gain new levels of energy, freedom and resilience.
All organisations are in constant flux. They must be able to change as fast as the change around them.
Change leadership is a vital capability for our coachees to continually develop. Through co-creation towards a clear vision, coachees learn to navigate resistance effectively, paving the way for progress and positive change.
Leadership is downstream of physiology.
Our coaching emphasises the importance of holistic wellbeing, encompassing physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health. Coachees learn self-care strategies and techniques for promoting wellbeing, as well as how to support the wellbeing of others within their teams and organisations.

Our Approach
No fluff. No one-size-fits-all. No preaching.
We go ‘underneath the underneath’ to help our coachees to express themselves fully as the leaders they know they’re capable of being.
As our coachees begin showing up differently, they see new possibilities and cause those around them to step up.
New ways of being. Different actions. Breakthrough results.
Our work creates transformative change that ripples through teams, cultures, and organisations.
When the business leader grows, everything grows.
