What We Value
Humanity
We aim to elevate leaders so they lead with their best human qualities – even in the face of complex and demanding situations. The outcome results in a workplace that is filled with meaning, connectedness and care.
Curiosity
Curiosity is the starting point for harnessing the mind’s potential. Our programmes activate a sense of curiosity about how the mind works and how it shapes our experience.
This leads to more creative and innovative thinking.
Presence
We approach people and situations with simplicity and strive to bring freshness, openness and presence to everything we do. It is a mindset we do our best to embody.
It is the essence of what we bring to companies and help them to cultivate internally.
Collaboration
Our work environment is positive, hivelike and collaborative. Diverse points of view are encouraged and explored.
This sense of collaboration extends to our clients, whose feedback is always solicited and enriches our programmes and sharpens our interventions.
Team
We are a cohesive team with decades of experience in international corporate leadership, meditation and performance coaching. We work with heart and genuine care. We all share a commitment to practice what we teach.
Our aim is to deliver impact for our clients. We facilitate personal and organisational transformation that improves the way companies function internally and impact the world externally.
