Your Leadership Journey… starts here

  • Leadership is a choice, it’s a mindset not an appointment
  • Conscious leadership builds self-awareness, authenticity and compassion
  • Vertical development leads to a step change in our thinking

Your First Steps

Step 1. Conscious awareness

– A deeper awareness of our thoughts, emotions, behaviours and physical responses. Paying attention to, listening to and taking note of our whole self – Head, Heart and Gut. Acknowledging what it is that makes us and others feel safe.

Step 2. Conscious acceptance

– Sitting with the tension and discomfort of not knowing; letting go of our need for control and allowing for stretch, stepping out of our comfort zone and into unknown territory.

Step 3. Conscious adaptation

– Reframing our relationship with uncertainty; becoming antifragile and using the energy of uncertainty to enhance creativity, innovation and growth.

Your Leadership Guides

We are accredited coaches using the concept of leadership journeying. We’re advocates for conscious leadership and how it acts as a catalyst to achieve a shift in mindset and thinking. Our intent is to help leaders to go beyond resilience to develop a culture of safe uncertainty, adapting and adopting to the environment and context by becoming antifragile.

This is the mindset that makes it safe to think through the unthinkable; to use the energy of uncertainty to drive performance and sustainable growth in ourselves, our teams and our communities.

Over the last four years we’ve worked with over 350 leaders, coached up to global board level, facilitated more than 150 workshops and delivered over 1000 one-to-one coaching sessions. We’ve supported major transformational change across the private and public sector, created a suite of conscious leadership programmes and created our Leading with Safe Uncertainty® framework.

Testimonials

"Jan has a comprehensive understanding of leading at a senior level both in the public and private sectors. Highly experienced at Board level, I have found Jan’s advice on Board composition and the skills needed tome teams effective illuminating and a critical part of my development as I prepare for my forthcoming appointment. She has an instinctive and natural ability to assimilate information, identify the critical path to problems and present solutions."
CEO Regional Ambulance Trust
“The conscious leaders programme gave leaders the opportunity to un-shackle their fears of driving profitable growth, by having the strength to create a safe and healthy environment.”
Regional Managing Director
“Andrew is a fantastic coach and I found his style and manner so easy to work with. Intuitively he worked through with me where I needed to go, and varied his style and delivery to suit my needs. His support has enabled me to personally and professionally develop substantially – no hesitation in recommending”
Regional Director, Housing & Support
“Jan is an insightful and warm coach and development leader. She has provided excellent career coaching; senior leader development programmes and employee transition sessions during which she continued to exhibit a thoughtful but sharp minded approach. She is invaluable for complex and sensitive work, and I thoroughly recommend her.”
Director, NHS
“My view is that this programme is bound to impact positively on the bottom line. In terms of how I am now working with my guys and they are working with their guys, one or two of the team have now stayed who would have gone… there is more stability. My team is being more active in looking for opportunities to impact on the bottom line.”
Operations Director
"The most significant effect on me was that it caused me to look at my own behaviours. It opened my eyes, was enlightening and helped me to channel my energies in the right way rather than holding back"
Director of Assurance & Compliance
"A year on, and I can honestly say that I am today still using techniques with myself and others from the course. The contents of the course & my behaviour as an inspirational leader will continue and grow as a result"
Contact Centre Manager
“Andrew provided excellent, focused leadership coaching. He is a great enabler – avoiding jargon and unnecessary science. He has an accessible approach and provided useful advice and tools which I could put into action immediately with great effect. After just a couple of sessions I was much more aware of key situations and have successfully adapted my approach to manage peers, senior management and supplier relationships.”
Head of UK Oversight & Investments, Financial Services
"It has transformed the way we think as a business in that it has enabled us to think from a different prospective than we thought before."
Chief Operating Officer
"The one to one sessions have been challenging and supportive. The coaching approach has worked very well, enabling and supporting me as I have worked through individual “burning” issues, whilst at the same time working with me to identify the underlying elements of my profile that contribute to the way I deal with those issues"
Head of Technical Services
“Andrew has built up an effective coaching style based upon a broad based experience in a number of different roles and organisations. Personable, realistic, direct and credible are the four words that best describe the approach Andrew has to offer from my experience and I would recommend Andrew to fellow professionals.”
HR Director, Heavy Engineering
“It has helped me focus on the key weakness areas and turn them into strengths so I have a more rounded leadership and it has done that and given me more confidence”
Managing Director
“Three words I would use to describe Andrew are, ‘big thinker’, ‘change agent’, and ‘provocative’! Andrew doesn’t play small, and he lives and breathes the qualities of transcendent Leadership. He cares deeply about society/making a greater difference, and takes a whole, or systemic approach in all that he does. Equally, he does this in a way that is pragmatic and real to people, so a great balance of strengths!”
Founding Chair & CEO
Participating in the Training Needs Analysis process was incredibly valuable for our company. We recently made the decision to invest in a large electric fleet of vehicles, and we knew that we needed to make sure our workforce had the right skills to manage this change. The TNA process provided us with simple actionable points to help us achieve our vision for the business and gave us confidence that our employees were equipped to tackle the changing landscape. we would highly recommend this process to other businesses looking to make a transition to more environmentally sustainable practices.
Skills Development Director, Private Limited Company (2500+ employees)
As a small social enterprise with only two employees, the Training Needs Analysis process was incredibly helpful. It gave us insights into the skills we needed to move towards more environmentally sustainable practices, which is important in our mission. It also helped intaking an important decision about whether to outsource certain areas of work or hire new employees with the required skills. Thanks to the TNA process, we feel more confident about our skills development strategy and would recommend this process to other small businesses looking to make informed decisions about their skills development.
Director, Social Enterprise
As a construction company that values environmentally friendly solutions, I found the Future Skills conversation (part of TNA) to be an excellent opportunity to share our insights on how the industry can make practical changes for the better. By participating in this conversation, we were able to provide valuable feedback to West London FE colleges on how they could adapt their curriculum to better prepare students for the changing industry landscape. We highly recommend the Future Skills Conversation to other construction companies who are committed to sustainability.
Director, Construction Company
Going through the Training Needs Analysis was helpful in developing the structure of the team we need to move towards our objectives. We discussed our goals and settled on a clear plan to get from where we are now to where we want to be.
Director, Zero Carbon Transport Company
