Our services

My approach is grounded in three things: science, positive impact, and the great outdoors.

Stepping outside is more than a change of scenery — it’s a return to clarity. Research shows that time in nature lowers stress hormones, regulates the nervous system, and improves focus and mood. It also boosts creativity, empathy, and memory, making it a powerful environment for reflection, vulnerability, and growth.

Learning itself is a vulnerable act.

It takes courage to admit we don’t know, to experiment, and to stumble with new skills. I create safe, engaging, and fun spaces where that courage can thrive, and where leaders, teams and individuals feel supported to stretch, fail, and grow.

Behaviour change is a tough act. I draw on evidence-based models like COM-B and E.A.S.T., which explain how habits form and environments shape action. This helps turn insights into sustainable new behaviours that unlock personal and collective potential.

1:1 Strengths Coaching

Discover your edge

1:1 strengths coaching is more than a development tool - it’s a transformative experience. Grounded in Gallup’s CliftonStrengths, these sessions help you uncover what makes you uniquely powerful - your unique talents - how you think, feel, behave - to unlock success at home, at life, in work, in the community or with your family. Build confidence to become your best self.

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” - Carl Jung

  • Gallup’s research over 50 years, with more than 30 million CliftonStrengths assessments, shows that people who use their strengths daily are 6x more engaged at work and 3x more likely to report an excellent quality of life.

Team Effectiveness

Build something extraordinary

In a world that moves fast and demands more, the strongest teams aren’t just productive - they’re connected, resilient, and real. Our team building sessions are a chance to step outside, slow down, and show up - not just as professionals, but as people. Through shared experiences, open conversations, and a little fresh air, we’ll create space for trust, vulnerability and growth. Because when we feel safe to be ourselves, we unlock the kind of performance that lasts.

“Nothing of significance was ever achieved by an individual acting alone.” - John C. Maxwell

  • Decades of research show that the most effective teams aren’t defined by who is on them, but by how they work together. Google’s Project Aristotle, which studied over 180 teams, found that psychological safety, clarity, and trust are the strongest predictors of high performance—not individual brilliance. Teams that intentionally build these dynamics are up to 40% more productive, make better decisions twice as fast, and experience significantly higher innovation and retention.

    The benefits extend to individuals too. Studies consistently show that when people feel psychologically safe, they are 6x more engaged, 30% less likely to burn out, and far more likely to stay and grow with their organisation. They learn faster, collaborate more openly, and bring their best ideas forward.

Leadership Development

Grow what matters

In today’s fast-moving world, leaders face more pressure than ever: navigating change, building trust, and driving results while staying resilient. But the truth is, no one is born ready for this complexity. Leadership development is how we rise to meet it. These sessions are a chance to pause, reflect, and invest in your growth - so you can lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

"The moment you stop learning is the moment you stop leading." - John C. Maxwell

  • Research shows that 70% of the variance in team engagement is directly linked to the quality of a manager or leader (Gallup, 2020). Leaders who commit to self-development build stronger trust, create more inclusive cultures, and consistently deliver better results.

    Studies also highlight that leaders who develop emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and adaptability are not only more effective under pressure, but also drive up to 4x higher performance outcomes across their teams. Neuroscience research confirms that self-reflection and mindset growth physically rewire the brain, strengthening a leader’s capacity to regulate, connect, and inspire.

    Investing in your own leadership development is therefore not a “nice to have”—it is a proven lever for higher engagement, stronger retention, and sustainable performance, both for you and the people you lead.

  • We tailor our programs to maximise impact. Workshops can be delivered individually or as part of a 1-, 2-, or 3-day retreat.

What our clients say

I’ve reflected many times since our sessions on my own strengths and the challenges associated with each strength. I’ve found I am applying them to my life both inside and outside of work. Since the 1:1 coaching, I have more self-awareness and am more structured in how I communicate with my colleagues, with an appreciation of their individual strengths.

Pip Davies, Chief Finance & Operations Officer, Sustainability Consultancy

The group workshop was thought-provoking, but what I enjoyed most was the resulting tangible and practical steps that can be implemented immediately and every day. The sessions made us assign necessary time to challenge how we do things and why things have failed in the past. Michael facilitated the group seamlessly through past issues, current achievements and challenges in a purposeful but non-confrontational way. The result was a new energy, a more aligned purpose and an appreciation of others.

Pip Davies, Chief Finance & Operations Officer, Sustainability Consultancy

Michael has led some of the most impactful leadership trainings I’ve been a part of so far in my career. His work around leadership transitions was especially impactful - he helped several managers on my team take the leap to manager-of-managers. His framework that defines the time, skill, and mindset needed to succeed at each leadership level has helped me in my own career transitions. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to coach their leadership team or support through a job transition.
