Our team

Is a high performing team. We are very good at what we do!

And modest you might say.

But it’s not about ego for us – we are highly trained professionals who love what we do

We have experience in what you are experiencing

You need to work with a team of people who just “get it” and we understand the needs of executives, senior managers and their teams. We work with HR professionals and L&D professionals on a daily basis and have experienced what you have experienced in our past careers and through our clients every day.

We invest in our learning and development

We invest in our learning and development and professional growth and just like we encourage you to do. We have created a workplace that people love; where we achieve great things together; we give each other feedback in the spirit of continuous improvement; and we have fun along the way.

Of course we are highly accredited coaches, all holding the coaching qualifications and ICF credentials with business degrees and business experience across a range of industries, government and private sectors.

Highly Accredited Coaches

Across the team we have coaches who are accredited to deliver most of the key tools and profiles used by organisations including:

  • DISC

    DISC is a behaviour self-assessment tool

  • Type Discovery

    An Type Discovery is a tool used to help individuals understand their own learning and communication preference

  • LSI

    The Lifestyles Inventory (LSI) is a test in order to measure leadership traits and styles

  • STRENGTHSCOPE

    Strengthscope assists individuals, teams and organisations establish awareness toward their strengths and how these can be optimised

  • THE LEADERSHIP CIRCLE (TLC)

    TLC is designed to measure key leadership competencies, behaviours, patterns and habits of thinking

There are plenty of letters after our names, but nothing is more important than the rapport, trust and confidence and partnerships that we create with our clients and that enables them to achieve the amazing results that they do.
