Who we are

About us

What we believe

A bit
about us

We believe that change continually happens, leading to irrelevancy that we often do not anticipate.  It happens personally and it happens professionally. 

As individuals, it happens every time we feel we are unable to make our contributions heard or be felt.  It can happen when we change jobs, get new employers, or when we retire by choice or by organizational shifts.

Organisations become conscious of the ripple effects of a society that carries the weight of a growing number of people that feel “irrelevant and excluded.” 

Our practice exists to support individuals and organisations that want to develop the skills to re-create themselves and find chaos and change as prompts to activate their antifragile capabilities.

Antifragility is our ability to benefit from disruption, and we are able to thrive and grow in this environment. It goes beyond resilience (recovery from failure) and robustness (resisting failure).  Rather, it increases organisations’ and individual’s overall capacity to thrive in unknown environments, using uncertainty, volatility, mistakes or failures, as fuel to generate new versions or enhanced versions of self themselves.

What We Stand For

Our values

Choicefulness
as a Superpower

 Being aware of our environment, connections, and relationships. The conscious act of choosing.

Compassionate
Action

An open-ended fearless approach to be with what is rather than struggle against it.

Curious
Explorers

We find joy in actively looking for discoveries, learnings, and connections among the old and the new. Repacking our knowledge as we unlearn.

Straight
Up

We speak and listen deeply in ways that promote a path forward. We share what is genuine and helpful.

Our purpose

Our practice exists to co-create contexts where people and organisations can thrive

In a journey with clients, we develop their adaptive capacity to ride the waves of complexity and uncertainty.
