"Elite sport, now that's interesting!"

It really is. Members of our team have been fortunate enough to work within elite sport all around the world, supporting professional athletes, World and Olympic champions, coaches, senior leaders and multidisciplinary teams. This experience has shaped the way in which we understand how humans respond under pressure, what helps individuals and teams to thrive in high-stakes environments and what it takes to build and sustain a culture of high performance. We bring these insights into the work we do with leaders and organisations in every industry.

''Yes, but business is different?''

That’s true. However, our experience tells us that the fundamentals of human behaviour tend to play out in similar ways. We recognise the clear differences between the world of elite sport and the realities of business. Our team blends expertise in sport and performance psychology with significant lived experience of corporate environments and the specific constraints and challenges they bring. This combination allows us to leverage the principles that drive high performance and apply them across a wide range of business sectors.
