Our mission

What makes a successful leader?

Why do we listen to some people but not others?

It’s all about making a human connection...

Every day, in life and in business, there are potential moments of connection where change can really happen.

Our mission is to give people the words, skills and confidence they need to make the most of these moments.

We help them turn up as their most authentic selves – speaking in a way that feels right, not just polished.

Because we feel at our best and perform at our best when we speak as ourselves, not from behind a mask.

And that’s how to bring people with you and get things done.Hank Walker © Time Inc

We are coaches, consultants and writers.

We believe in the power of art + science. You can see this in the diversity of our team, with backgrounds in academia, journalism, television, finance, psychology, the law, management consultancy, writing, marketing and the performing arts.

We combine our professional training with an evidence-based methodology and a deep curiosity about human beings - what makes us tick and why we make the choices we do in our daily lives.

We help our clients communicate at their best – with confidence, clarity and authenticity. This means they can speak, be heard and be trusted - with individuals and with groups, from a page, from a stage, or through a camera lens.

We do this by giving them the skills, techniques, words and confidence they need to tell their story, motivate their people, and connect with partners, investors and the media.

Our work is particularly valuable at times of change because change creates noise and uncertainty; we help leaders cut through this noise.

About usAll of our work has an emphasis on authentic communication and leadership. It is founded on a common-sense blend of art and science, and delivered by one or more of our highly experienced and empathetic coaches or writers.

We coach individuals, small groups, large groups and new or established teams,

helping them communicate to get things done and bring people with them.

We write speeches, brand and team narratives, mission statements, manifestos and a range of internal copy to help clients communicate with confidence and clarity.

Our Special Advisory team offers writing, thinking, coaching and networking in a way that’s tailored to your needs via three distinct membership offerings.

We offer strategic communications advice, conduct diagnostic research and run

qualitative perception audits to generate meaningful insight for leaders and their teams.

SPECIAL ADVISORY

‘By far the best training I have ever experienced

in my working life or prior to that.’

‘One of the best personal development sessions I’ve ever had.

And I’ve had lots…’

‘I feel that by experiencing what it’s

like to be on the receiving end of my communication,

I have been able to improve my confidence. The feedback I received allowed me to

work my strengths as well as my weaknesses.’

‘I now have a more structured approach

to my presentations, a greater degree of self awareness and clear

strategies for effective communication.’

‘This is the most valuable

training I have ever received and I think it will stay with me for the rest of my life and where ever

possible I am trying to pay it forward.’

‘It’s easy to get caught up in the day-day

mechanics of a job and not look at the bigger picture. But

you helped me to see how I already make a difference to

the business, and how I can improve the way

I am perceived by others.’

‘Working with you was the highlight

of my year. I would not have had it any other way.

The learning experience has been tremendously

valuable.’

‘It has helped give me the reassurance that its okay to be ‘me’

and communicate in line with my

personal style.’
