We are specialists in teams. We have deep understanding and experience of what makes teams work. Our programmes have been designed after decades of being team-members, managers, leaders and working in and around team-development, high-stakes situations, behavioural psychology, systems thinking and facilitation practices.
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
Our Mission
To build leadership capability, “system awareness” and psychological safety in every team we work with.
We help develop new thinking, “systems awareness” and psychological safety in teams, which in turns fosters trust, connection and high-performance . A link to our short psychological safety “fact video” is here.
Teams create dynamics - everyone arrives in a team with a history, ways of working, and modes of thinking. We explore these dynamics and determine if they are assisting team performance, or hampering this. Holding a mirror up to team behaviour can be challenging, yet is essential to shift performance.
Many current organisational issues, leadership failures and crisis stem from failures in team (including top-team) communication. To achieve high-performance, teams must establish psychological safety and learn how to communicate in effective ways - this is different to just ‘being nice’.

We help teams understand why certain behaviour patterns keep recurring and how to make choices to change these patterns, and therefore change the results. We challenge existing thinking, assumptions and stuck patterns. We shift behaviour and together with you, tap into energy and ideas that are the source of team-performance, strategic advantage, change and innovation.
