What our coachees gain in a nutshell
Lead beyond what you know how to do
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.
Engage with others powerfully and authentically
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.
Create a new levels to accountability
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.
Intervene with their counterproductive behaviours
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.
Creatively overcome problems and difficulties
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.
Develop effective strategies for resilience
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.
Effectively confront and deal with resistance
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.
Powerfully manage their own wellbeing and that of others
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.
The coachee is our material.
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.
