Our Philosophy & Approach
Whether for individual coaching engagements, team coaching or organisational L&D, we design development journeys aimed at lasting change.
We follow a pattern that we call our EMERGE spiral process, recognising that development is an ongoing process that occurs in cycles from awareness, through practice and into integration before the next cycle of change begins.
'EMBRACING THE WHOLE'
We start by looking at the big picture so we can design an interdisciplinary and holistic approach. Instead of short term 'one and done' approaches that try to fix a single problem, in every proposal we consider whole person, whole context, and whole lifespan
'MARRYING THE PARTS'
In every situation that has us feel stuck, there are factors pulling in different directions: these can show up as external polarities needing our attention, or internal parts of us that cause uncertainty and inner conflict. We help you turn 'conflict' into 'creative tension'.
'ENVISIONING FRESH POSSIBILITIES'
At this stage we help you step into new identities, archetypes and narratives that allow you to resolve the tension and step forward. More than a generic 'mindset shift', these are shifts of perspectives that allow for generative ways of meeting the moment differently.
'REALISING POWERS AND PATHWAYS'
Drawing on research and taking a pragmatic approach, at this stage we help you find and cultivate the qualities and practices that will allow you to move forward and make meaningful progress.
'GENERATING WITH OTHERS'
We help you identify key relationships and design safe-to-fail experiments that allow you to not only learn from others and incorporate their input but also gather the support and resources that will lead to sustainable future successes.
'EMBODYING NEW WAYS OF BEING'
Having identified and established the inner and outer tracks towards long-term, sustainable development, we help you hone the processes and systems that ensure ongoing iteration and integration.

Our Story
Throughout my live I've been fascinated with what it means to lead a good life. The idea that "man does not live by bread alone" was reflected in what I saw around me : how we're all hard-wired both to create and be inspired by the creative efforts of others. Creativity seemed to be how we rise above the daily grind and more serious challenges of our lives to make meaning of them.
My fascination with creativity led me to a career in the Media and Entertainment industry first as a lawyer, then as a regional business leader in a global media business, where I found having my Executive coach alongside me to work through key challenges was invaluable. When I stepped away from the business in 2006 to have my son and re-create my own career around what mattered most to me, coaching was a natural progression from what I had enjoyed most in all my roles: supporting and developing others to find their own creative capacity.
Whilst the coach practice has grown beyond me and the industries I started with, the 'golden thread' of coaching has not: our mission is to support our clients to be more creative, resourceful and whole in their work and lives and to use challenges they face as fuel to find their innate creative capacity and resourcefulness.
We hope to have the pleasure of supporting you in your journey.
