Uplifting Leadership and Culture
We believe that safety and space create a culture of transformation.
Our experiential processes and tools build this environment. We combine our thinking and practice with those of global thought leaders.
We disrupt the over-emphasis in organisations on action, linear thinking and quick fixes, which we see in problems recurring, unintended consequences, and stagnation.
We question the assumption that learning is primarily individual, and facilitate team and group learning experiences that draw on diverse perspectives and productive disagreement.
Our clients start solving complex problems and creating possibilities as they slow down, become present, listen deeply, and engage in meaningful conversations.
This unlocks the collective intelligence of teams and organisations and people begin to thrive.
Our Leadership Programs
Collaborative problem solving
We work with executive and leadership teams to create positive listening environments while addressing real business issues. We develop the skills to create these contexts and facilitate group problem solving to lift the team’s capacity to have productive conversations.
Leadership team coaching
We coach leadership teams to develop capability in collaborative problem solving and to learn to work through disagreement and tension effectively. We empower teams to engage in open and honest conversations and to listen deeply by raising awareness of the team’s internal dynamics.
Listening masterclasses
Our listening masterclasses spotlight the enablers and barriers to creating a high-quality listening environment. Leaders explore their mindsets, learn practical skills to create safety and space, and become aware of hidden power dynamics and their impact.
Co-hosted listening posts
Our co-hosted listening posts facilitate a genuine exchange between leaders and team members of their experience, feedback and ideas, in a productive environment. We prepare leaders for deep listening and create safety and space with attunement to power dynamics.
Leader, team and organisational assessments
Our proprietary survey tools evaluate individual and collective leadership capacity to create safety and space. The individual assessment identifies behaviours for a leader to develop and the team and organisational assessments provide a snapshot of the environment and point to actionable strategies to improve safety and space.
Executive Coaching
Executive coaching builds awareness and capability in leaders through use of our proprietary tools, powerful questioning, and our practise of meeting leaders where they are. Our 1:1 coaching helps leaders to use their power effectively, collaborate meaningfully, and create safety and space so their teams and organisations can flourish.

Leadership Outcomes
“Collective genius happens when a group of people come together and share their ideas, knowledge, experiences, and brainpower. It unleashes a cognitive power and capacity for creativity that exceeds that of any single individual.”
- Jeff Wetzler
