Why People Choose us
As a Connection and High Performance Culture Consultant, I’ve made it my mission to create a world full of brilliant and lit up people.
What sets us apart from everyone else…
We advocate for more human leadership
We help businesses and Leaders evolve their definition of what high-performance Leadership and Culture looks like. Away from the uber-competitive, individualistic approach many of us are used to, to a more human, connected, genuinely collaborative style that leverages the collective intelligence and skills of the whole team.
We teach leaders to lead with clarity, intention and alignment at an individual and group level
Many Leadership Development programs only scratch the surface, focusing solely on self-awareness and competency development. We’re not satisfied with just “good enough.” We’re on a mission to cultivate leaders who are deeply connected with themselves and the business, who lead with purpose, clarity, and alignment. We’re not interested in blindly meeting the stock standard expectations of the business, but rather in creating authentic leaders who can take their organisations to new heights.
We follow an evidence based approach backed by science
We have developed a holistic approach to high-performance leadership, that combines the latest scientific research with tried-and-true leadership practices. Our approach offers a comprehensive and effective toolkit for leaders who want to stay ahead of the game and not only survive, but thrive in today’s ever evolving environment.
We believe good leadership is anchored in Inclusions and Diversity
We have extensive experience building Inclusive Leadership programs that go beyond mere box-ticking. Our unique Connection IP is built on a foundation of deep self-awareness, which we believe is crucial to effective leadership. By focusing on Connection and understanding, we help our clients shift the dial on inclusion and create lasting change.
We partner deeply with our chosen clients and co-create programs with them
We believe that true partnership with our client is the key to designing a truly impactful program. That’s why we work closely with our clients to build programs that are tailored to their specific needs and organisational goals. As part of our process, we seek input from EVERY team member participating in the program, to ensure we not only meet the needs of the business, but also the team members themselves.
We don’t use sub-facilitators
We offer personalised attention and support through our sole facilitator, Celeste. When you work with us, you’ll work directly with Celeste, who will design and implement your program. Because Celeste is our only facilitator, she can bring her full expertise to every program, ensuring it’s tailored to your specific needs. Celeste’s deep understanding of leadership and organisational development ensures a commitment to excellence.
But don’t take our word for it, read what our clients and participants are saying.
We’re a Breath of Fresh Air for your Leadership Development
We put the human into your humans. We focus on every, individual Leader and help them understand their authentic leadership style and strengths. We create experiences that transform the way your Leaders think, behave and lead. We elevate them out of the day-to-day, and they return with fresh insights, practical frameworks and high performance habits for themselves and their teams.
Here’s how we’re different from everyone else!
Traditional approach
Our approach
Content heavy, practical application light.
We utilise a blended model to ensure hands-on, practical application of theory. We include pre and post work prior to our ‘Learning Labs’, design real work projects, and include group ‘Coaching Clinics’ to ensure accountability and create ongoing connection and embed learning.
‘One-size fits all’ approach and/or a ‘shopping list’ of skills/capabilities.
We focus on the specific skills aligned to deliver your business strategy – now and into the future.
Not clearly linked to Strategy and Culture.
We focus on the whole business system and link everything to your Purpose, Values and Strategy.
Learning not linked with real-work experiences.
We balance ‘off-site’ learning time with time out for reflection, link development to real work projects and connect participants to each other to enhance collaboration and learning. This leverages the collective intelligence of your team.
Failure to understand how the individual’s ‘below-the-surface’ mind-set impacts their ability to change behaviour.
We understand the humans and how our brains work. We help Leaders to identify deep-seated beliefs that are getting in their way, and focus on leveraging their strengths to help them grow and develop.
The development is seperate from the business.
We work closely with you to engage stakeholders in the process so they support, and are part of, the change.
Forget to find out what’s changed.
We work with you to measure and monitor change as it occurs.

Celeste is truly inspirational to work with. She starts with taking the time to understand your business and change requirements, then designs a program to meet the needs and through constant communication made sure that the program constantly changed and evolved to meet the needs of the team. To do this she brings together her extensive international experience in leading businesses, driving change and coaching. Her insights were invaluable as they are founded in a deep understanding of individuals, how they are most likely to respond to situations and delivered with empathy and the right balance of tension and support. Her natural energy and enthusiasm were also an important part of keeping the team focused!
