Coaching Leaders for a Complex World
Coaching Leaders for a Complex World is a leadership coaching certification program for people who care deeply about human development, starting with their own. It meets all the requirements for ICF PCC-level accreditation, but it offers something rarer: a place to grow your capacity to support others in messy, fast-changing, multicultural environments.
This isn’t generic coach training. It’s for people who want to support growth in others–whether by becoming a coach, deepening an existing practice, or leading with more presence and care. You’ll be introduced to powerful ideas like adult development and complexity, and you’ll be supported in bringing those ideas to life in your own work and relationships.

Mindful Self-Compassion
In overwhelming times like these, kindness is in short supply–especially self-kindness.
Learning to treat yourself with the same understanding and kindness you usually reserve for your closest friends can tame your inner critic, reduce stress, and increase resilience.
Join us for six weeks of practice, reflection, and connection.
Leadership for human work in the age of AI
AI is accelerating change, reshaping organisational structures and cultural norms faster than most systems were designed to absorb. At the same time, the human work of leadership – staying open under pressure, holding competing truths, and keeping people thinking together – has never been more consequential.
This 90-minute working session explores the capacities senior leaders need to lead well in this moment.

Showing Up Ready
Most of us still are learning to play ourselves in the everyday scenes of life and work. We present ourselves to others “ on stage” in various ways, hopefully appropriate to each situation. Yet the more kinds of scenes we face and the more visible we become out there, the more difficult it can be to discern how to “show up.” This is even more true when we worry that who we are or what we stand for may be unwelcome.
