Who Are We?

We Make
Future-Ready Leaders

Drawing on more than 20 years of practical experience, as well as studies at Harvard and London School of Economics, we have designed programs that help the smartest teams in Australia create opportunities amidst chaos and confusion.

Our passion is to develop future-ready leaders that ignite ingenuity and tenacity in their teams.

We challenge outdated thinking and norms and guide leadership teams to practice evidence based approaches to leading businesses.

Our work is grounded in neuroscience, behavioural economics and expertise in human behaviour.

Our Science Based Approach To Leadership

Horizontal And Vertical Development

We develop leaders both horizontally and vertically. Horizontal development refers to the acquisition of new skills, knowledge, and competencies that enhance a leader’s ability to perform effectively within their current role. It’s about broadening one’s skill set and gaining practical tools. It represents learning more within the same level of consciousness. Vertical leadership development, on the other hand, focuses on transforming the way leader’s think, perceive, and make decisions. It involves deepening one’s cognitive, emotional, and relational capacities to better handle complex, ambiguous situations. Vertical growth signifies advancing to higher levels of mental complexity and self-awareness, allowing leaders to integrate and manage more intricate dynamics.

Learning And Embedding – The Brutal Reality

Formal leadership development can engage and upskill leaders to support cultural change, but the busy and complex nature of leadership roles often hinders practical application. Leaders, left on their own, may struggle to implement what they learn, leading to poor returns on investment. We purposefully provide structured support to embed newly acquired skills and capacities into the organisation’s thinking, feeling, and behaviour. This integration permeates through systems, processes, and organisational frameworks, ensuring lasting and effective change.

Customised And Meaningful

Our development service offerings, grounded in extensive research on behavioural science, are consistently customised to create tailored developmental initiatives for leaders and organisations. By understanding the unique needs and strategic goals of each client, we design programmes that effectively build leadership capabilities and drive organisational success. Our approach ensures that every initiative aligns with the specific challenges and aspirations of our clients, facilitating meaningful and sustainable progress towards their strategic agenda.
