Understanding the challenges and designing bespoke solutions.
Whether we are working with individuals, teams or groups of people, our approach is the same: before we deliver, we have an in-depth conversation about the challenges being faced by the client. Only once we have understood this do we start to design the solution.
We are also nimble on our feet and recognise that, from time to time, we will need to adjust what we have built to cater for changing circumstances or the unexpected.
We exist to bring out the best in people.

Forster’s words, written many years before coaching became part of the vocabulary of leadership development, speak to the essence of coaching.
Global Mentoring Networks
We run two networks
- The Global Mentoring Network for Aspiring Leaders
- The Global Student Mentoring Network

Leadership thinking has evolved constantly and the recent pandemic has highlighted the limitations of dogmatic leadership. A more thoughtful approach, based on the consideration of possible future strategies has become more prevalent.
Insights Discovery profiling
The Insights Discovery model is based on the work of Carl Jung. It has gained worldwide recognition over more than 30 years of application. It can be used for individuals or teams, and is particularly effective when used in conjunction with coaching.

Julie Taylor, CEO Thomas Deacon Education TrustI was attracted to your work initially because of the EQ measure. I felt it had a credibility as a model for beginning to understand why some people were more effective as leaders when you stripped away all the common skills and qualifications.
