How we work with clients

We start where you are

We take a flexible approach to how we work with clients, starting by working with you to examine the specific challenges you are facing.

We focus on helping you and your teams to listen to each other, gather multiple perspectives and gain an in depth understanding of your organisational context and performance priorities.

Once we are aligned on what the key issues and challenges are, we help you explore your options using the tools and skills we've developed over decades to bring new insight to your problems.

And go where the energy is

We'll work flexibly with you keeping front and centre what will work for you, in your context to enable you and your team to solve your key challenges.

We believe that change is most likely to occur when people have clarity about what needs fixing and are motivated and equipped to do so.

Working in this way, you'll make sustainable changes that have impact and benefit for you, your teams and your organisation in the short and long term.

  • I wanted to help my senior leadership team gain improved trust and mutual support. We had recently had a series of leadership changes. The team had deep silo-mentality and little sharing or genuine collaboration and no joy in working together. From the first session, Steve’s careful but active facilitation had an immediate and beneficial impact. We now have happy teamwork where there was once politeness at best and a backdrop of territorial silos and suspicion. Thanks to Steve’s work, the positive change has been truly noticeable. I commend Steve to anyone wanting to positively impact the teamwork and collaborative performance of managers and leaders.

  • Steve is a brilliant facilitator. There are plenty of facilitators around but Steve is the guy you would move your event for if he's not available when you want him. He's helped us deliver several high impact conferences for groups of over 100 leaders, somehow managing to maintain the energy without any requirement for caffeine (I guess that makes him a little strange!). He has also been very effective in facilitating strategy meetings with our top team. He has a great repertoire of models and materials to draw upon and is particularly good at helping to draw out connections and conclusions. Most importantly as the client, you don't have to worry about how he's going to be received as he is able to engage with pretty much everyone in the audience.

  • Lisa brought a wealth of experience in design thinking and agile methodology. She is credible, reliable, insightful, energetic and most importantly very fun to work with. 
Lisa does not shy away from difficult decisions and conversations, tackling change in a positive and productive manner.
 Lastly, as a co-lead in our team of 6 people on a big pharma project, she took care of individual learning needs and stakeholder management. 
I am confident that Lisa will bring success success into any project.

This is ultimately in the benefit of the total organisation and will have its positive effects in business results, first signs of evidence are starting to become visible in efficiency metrics.

    Technical Leadership Team, Global FMCG

  • During the past 40 years I have worked with many fine leaders. Mark is one of the most gifted. He demonstrates the qualities you would expect from anybody who has a Gold Medal Mentality. Combining an incredible drive with a warm personal presence, he transmits energy to other people. Customers and colleagues feel stronger and more able to achieve their goals. Mark is resilient and insightful. He is a superb leader for pioneering organisations that want to make the new rules for the game.

  • All the millions we spend on training and none of it hits the level and depth that this does. Our development programmes are comprehensive but this is different class.

  • I could not recommend Noj as a coach highly enough. He was extremely insightful and I have never been coached in such a direct manner. I have found Noj to be a breath of fresh air for my career.

  • The coaching sessions I have had with Liz over recent months have been the most beneficial development opportunity that I have ever had in my career.

    JF, Senior Manager, Barclays Bank

  • Fiona has been fantastic to work with, she listened carefully to our brief and created bespoke workshops that suited a varied employee group. She worked extremely collaboratively, taking our ideas on board and effectively incorporating the needs of our specific proposition into the training.  She delivered the training in a way that appealed to her audience and was credible. We have recently completed an employee engagement survey and Fiona’s training was highlighted as a successful and engaging addition to our training portfolio, improving overall employee satisfaction.
