OUR SERVICES
We partner with HR, OD and senior leaders to move their teams from reactive leadership and unhealthy dynamics to clear alignment, psychological safety and sustainable performance - through workshops, team reset programmes and leadership development for individuals, teams and whole organisations.
We’re not here for “kumbaya". Our PhD-backed research gives leaders evidence-based support to navigate downturns, M&A, redundancies, and toxic workplace cultures with clarity and confidence. We train teams to integrate new IT platforms and systems so they actually adopt and use them in their day-to-day work. We help leaders to map and improve processes to make way for AI opportunities. Whatever challenges you're facing in this fast-changing environment, we design and deliver programmes that help you and your teams accelerate performance.
INDIVIDUALS
1:1 coaching, mentoring and a self-paced course for managers who want a clear, step-by-step process to accelerate their team's performance.
TEAMS
Team coaching and reset programmes that rebuild trust, realign priorities and reset how you work together, so you can deliver hard things without burning out.
GO SLOW TO GO FAST STUDIO:
ORGANISATIONS
End-to-end cultural change and engagement programmes, co-designed with our clients, using our 4Cs framework (Calibrate, Craft, Commit, Change) to turn complex change into simple, organisation-wide habits and rhythms that make performance and wellbeing sustainable.
OUR APPROACH
Our methodology is built on two doctoral research projects and decades of leadership experience. We blend complexity and systems thinking, psychology, design and facilitation to help organisations turn good intentions into simple, everyday habits.
We research as we develop our programmes. We work with managers, teams and HR/OD leaders to weave 'micro-pauses' into their work: how people meet, plan, decide and give feedback. These small, deliberate pauses (‘Go Slow’) create space to align, surface concerns and reset ways of working. In turn, this enables greater autonomy and ownership (‘Go Fast’), so teams can sustain performance and protect well-being, rather than burning out.
Continuous research and development leads to innovative programmes which are grounded in practice and academic theory. Currently, we are developing a new brand of coaching and training called Kind Resilience, to help fortify people in times of continuous change and volatility. By exploring the 3Ps framework of Peace, Perspective and Purpose, it's possible to strengthen not only individuals and teams, but also whole organisations.

It’s manager training and therapy all rolled into one
“It’s more than a training course. It’s manager training and therapy all rolled into one. It’s incredibly refreshing to learn, practice and grow in this way.
