Who are you?

If you're wondering if we're right for each other...

You know the challenge of trying to lead & facilitate a group yourself and want a trusted partner to work with you and get the best from your group.

You've experienced mediocre facilitation before and are looking for something exceptional.

You look for and value learning in everything you do.

You are open to new ideas, willing to experiment with working differently, and appreciate the need to work emergently in complex situations.

Your focus is on lasting impact and the real efficacy of your work, not just superficial quick wins.

You value people as whole human beings, not just human resources.

Who are we?

For those who haven't met us yet and would like to know

where we've come from and what motivates us...

Co-Founder & Partner

Kenda Gaynham

A degree in law and social sciences, over 25 years of experience in organisational development, practiced leadership expertise, and an understanding of individual and group dynamics informs Kenda’s work with those who want to get the best out of themselves as part of a wider collective.

She understands that paying close attention to human dynamics develops profound insights and catalyses passion and responsibility in individuals and teams. This is the key, she believes, to unlocking the potential in any group, to articulate and achieve their highest purpose.

At the heart of Kenda’s work is an unwavering commitment to the ongoing evolution of individuals, groups, organisations and communities.

25 years of working in this field means we have an extensive network of amazing consultants who specialise in different aspects of organisational and behavioural work.

For each client project we put together the relevant (and, we like to think, perfect) team for the work.

Our own (learning) journey

Scroll to learn about a bit more about how we got here

YEAR

1999

Founded on the premise that meetings are mostly sh*t!

We want to offer something that unlocks the potential in these meeting spaces. Very few people are doing it.

YEAR

2005

If we give people tools and training they'll use them...

We publish books, deliver training & share other resources we create.

How naive we are.
