What We Do & How We Help
We help fast growing companies grow faster through iterative people performance cycles, like they would iterate their product. Often companies are awesome at iterating their products to get better, but not so good at helping people iterate for better performance.
- When there is big pressure for results, leaders “go harder”, try to “drive” performance; often fuelled by the fear of failure or limited runway.
- There is an alternative: imagine everyone “owning it” pulling in the same direction, getting better and better every day, compounding results, everyone bringing their best.
We help companies build people performance into the day to day – performance IS the job – it’s everyone’s job.
We’re a forward-thinking consultancy and tech company known for leadership & performance, connecting psychology, physiology and neuroscience to help companies innovate people performance to power their success.
Clients hire us to help invent or reinvent their people performance to create huge value, make real change, and scale. We help create healthy environments for success where people thrive, unleash their potential and actually want to work. We help clients create big results.
What It’s like to Work With Us
Step 1
Conversation to understand your challenges, the outcomes you’re seeking and your priorities. We discuss what we do that might align and help, and if someone else might be a better fit.
Step 2
Co-create what an engagement might look like to partner together to get to the outcomes you’re seeking and what a modular range of options might be for a win-win.
Step 3
Using insights and access to research-based evidence, based on best return on effort, strategic priorities, outcomes… we decide together on our first piece to solve, and get moving together!
- From here, we’re expanding our seeking of input from a range of stakeholders in the organization to confirm challenges, ideal outcomes, and priorities to ensure we are creating a sticky change from the start.
- Then we gather together to do a workshop targeted to get us moving in the direction you want, we experiment, iterate, and implement in small bites to validate “what will work” and walk with you every step of the way.
- Often things change along the way to get to the right outcomes with people owning the change all the way.
Key principles to everything we do:
Simplicity & depth

Actionable, not just informative

Iterative People Performance Cycles
It’s frustrating to see people have so much more potential or even capability than what they’re bringing to work. It feels like herding cats getting people moving in the same direction. And making results happen is not optional – there’s a cliff, a runway – and it’s real! Living in this tension every day can be really rough, exhausting. Not everybody gets it… and company performance is people performance.
We help you unleash your growth superpowers through people performance, integrating improvement “in micro bites” into the day to day. People, the whole company, iterate their performance, just like you iterate product. As the humans get better and better, everything takes off, gravity shifts and momentum takes over.
What happens:
We help clients implement systems to move from their existing, painful, “non-performant performance process” to a participant and team owned adaptive performance cycle. Clients dynamically “create people performance”, rather than statically “do performance management”. We’re building tech to make this easy.
How this happens:
With the participant and team in the driver’s seat, we forward focus on priority outcomes and improvement through short cycles aligned to the work, and the ability to adapt.
Leveraging social connection and small input from others, driven by and tailored to the participant, exponential growth happens in accumulated micro changes.
Mechanisms of practice, feedback, reflection and habit development maximize the betterment of the individuals / teams.
Essentially, the humans adopt a systematic way to iterate themselves.
Iterative performance becomes part of the fabric and culture of the company as we support clients along the journey. We are agnostic to the current models or methodologies being used in the client company; however, we must align on creating an environment for success where people can thrive and bring their best to work. What we do is research and science based, incorporating psychology, physiology and neuroscience throughout.
As human beings, we are always practicing:
- practicing staying the same and reinforcing today,
- or practicing improving toward a better tomorrow.
Most people spend a lifetime practicing staying the same. Let that not be you.

Custom Research for Organizational Insights & Solutions:
Often organizations are looking outwards for answers when the answers lie within.
We perform qualitative research in organizations adhering to strong academic research standards to find the human story hidden within organizations to answer questions like:
- What is at the core of our leadership challenge and how would we solve it?
- What is keeping us from fulfilling our people potential as an organization?
- What would leaders need to do to create the environment for success?
- What is keeping us from higher organizational performance?
- How do leaders create value and how could they enable more momentum?
Whatever the core research question, it is answered through a series of interviews (usually 12-15 achieves the point of academic rigor for qualitative research) with specifically designed interview questions to root out the hidden answers and hidden needs in an organization. We provide a comprehensive analysis and debrief with localized solutions and insights, then workshop your actions forward to create immediate value. Pricing $19-35k.

Our coaching is transformational, to facilitate senior leaders and teams to shift into a new version of themselves. Not simply an incremental path to a goal, but to fundamentally change and challenge the person they are today to become who they need to be to get to the future they are creating. This is challenging, and sometimes seemingly impossible… and it’s what brings us alive as coaches, and leverages our superpowers in connecting leadership and science to create big shifts with people to create exponential value. To support our coaching clients we integrate simple courageous practice and experimentation to action insights – insights create virtually no value without implementation and action.
Executives & CEOs, 1:1
For Executives & CEOs who want to transform themselves and reach seemingly impossible goals. Short, focused engagements, combining leader psychology, physiology and neuroscience incorporating thinking, doing, being, and embodiment to create exponential growth. The arrangement is dependent on the individual, typically 4-6 months in length with the client driving the engagement and the frequency of interaction. Coaching can return 10x or more in ROI. Dependent on the value to be co-created and the level of the individual, Pricing is $7-29k.
For Executive Teams
For teams who are aiming to achieve a goal that is seemingly impossible and are ready and willing to give up who they are to become who they need to be – together. We start where you are, and begin to shift from there. This is intense, often challenging long held and invisible beliefs about one another in order to help each other rise to a new level of themselves. For many teams it’s a shift from unknowingly competing with each other to challenging and supporting each other to grow. And of course there’s practice integrated into the existing day to day – together and separately – to make it happen. This work is done in full team and also with smaller groups or pairs who are having specific challenges – pricing varies widely according to team size, challenges and the value to be co-created. Pricing $20-150k.
Workshops come in many shapes and sizes and are always brain friendly, engaging, insightful and action enabling.
For Leadership Teams
- Team Interactions is for teams who are having challenges or opportunities in coming together or working together. Team interactions is focused on the way we interact with each other and how we can do this significantly better to improve our performance as a team. Instead of focusing on the uniqueness and difference of each individual (like typical individual leader assessments), team interactions shows how we prefer to interact, and how to close the space between us with actionable insights. Teams do a quick, simple assessment and receive a summary & action report. Leadership teams participate in a workshop to take their insights from their review of the assessment and transition these insights into actions and agreements to work more effectively together. Pricing $5-10k.
- Team Identity – Create the Future to create a unified view of who we are in the future we want to create – vision and strategy alignment in a cohesive team view. Examining how we want to be known as a team, how we need to show up to achieve what we want, and a big shift from invisible expectations and conflict to agreements and actions forward together. Similarly to coaching for leadership teams, this begins to enable teams to see themselves in a new light and move together. Pricing $12-20k.
