We help companies transform the mind and the matter, the intent and the action, the individual and the masses - necessary to create exceptional value for customers and super-drive their business forward. We operate at the intersection of business and psychology, technology and practicality.
From short-term advisory assignments to long-term, complete organisational redefinition, we’re invited to work across an array of projects. From conception to execution, we ideate and innovate, converting intangible concepts into high-value tangible results.
With a vivid blend of international experience across corporate super-nationals such as Accenture and Shell, to Military and Government Bodies, through to Education and Healthcare, we have worked with the ordinary to create the extraordinary.
We’re curious – seriously. We question. Everything. Ask why and why not. Why? Well, why not? We can take something difficult, rip it apart, and then rebuild it into something gorgeously brilliant.
Your success is our success. And we only like to be successful, so we make sure you are successful. Immensely successful.
One size doesn’t fit all. So we take the time to understand your needs and then create the solution that’s right for you.
We start humbly with a blank sheet and finish grandly with awesome results.
Drive value, shape results and design the future.
We believe people-driven change creates the difference that makes the difference. Not just for now, but from now on. We start a movement from within and watch it march out into fantastic results.
We transform performance by changing the way people think, feel and behave about their work and ultimately their craft. When people perform optimally (and happily), their company achieves peak (and profitable) performance. Happy days.
From managing new starters to developing leaders, from sketching a new brand to business process reengineering, from delighting customers to smashing through sales targets, the way your people think, feel and behave makes a herculean difference.
Using a hybrid of tools and methodologies from a spectrum of management fused psychology, business and heaps of experience, underpinned by key principles from NLP, CBT and Hypnosis, our delivery is smart, unorthodox and very effective.
Management makes the difference between a non-performing team and a high-performing team, employee resignation to retention and ultimately the organisation’s demise or profitability.
We work with organisations to develop managers who nurture ambition whilst being able to have tough performance conversations, set goals and boundaries, communicate visions and objects, build alliances and generate trust. Great managers make a mighty difference to their organisations performance.
Finding talent and managing performance has become more complex, turbulent and contradictory than ever before. Talent is now harder to find and nurture, and easier to waste and lose.
We work with organisations to build focused skills and strengths that translate into creating engaging, constructive and supportive performance management environments and systems. We give managers the tools to manage right, transforming performers from good to great. Employees progress and become recognized, unlocking feelings of work place pride and loyalty. The employee flourishes and the organisation prospers.
Most employees think they give great customer service. Very few of their customers agree. We work with organisations to move deluded customers to delighted customers.
We know how important customers are to businesses and we know how important service is to customers. Therefore we equip employees with the skills needed to pay great attention, provide great service with great etiquette. Additionally, we get business leaders focused on employees value + importance on the inside, which translates to value + importance delivered on the outside.
We work with organisations to create environments, policies and practices that enable inclusion+ diversity to give faster decision making + greater integration. With inclusion, stress and absenteeism decrease whilst productivity and performance prospers.
Over half of employees feel like they have to hide things about themselves to fit into work – it could be a disability, their religion, their experiences or the team they support. Aside from being uncomfortable and unhealthy for the employee, it’s a prime cause of low productivity.
Drop in stock price, loss of in productivity, collapse in customer satisfaction, disengaged and resentful staff. These are just some of the adverse results of weak reorganisations that start with great intentions, but result in the demise of the organisation.
We work with leaders from the outset to develop the compelling journey of where the organisation is, and where it plans to go. We train leaders to be clear with facts and open and honest with communication that gets everyone marching in the right direction. We focus on taking the right employees forward as assets, prioritising those staying, enabling leaders carefully and closely influence the outcome for them, the employees and the organisation.
Employee engagement is a key indicator of business performance: when your employees feel engaged, your business will prosper. All too often, leaders fixate on survey results rather than the causes behind them.
We help organisations understand, engage and positively influence employees at levels that matter to the individual, making the difference to the masses. Through this we create more positive achievement, more results and more success across the organisation.
We provide a host of workshops and seminars to give people some of the most important skills to enhance their way of work and life. Some of our clients’ favourites include
