About Us
We are a boutique leadership resilience consultancy supporting organisations operating in high-pressure environments.
Our work takes a preventative approach. We help leaders build awareness and capability earlier, before pressure surfaces as disengagement, absence, or attrition. This supports more effective leadership through change and demanding periods.
Why Choose Us
Assessment-led leadership resilience, grounded in real organisational context.
We are a boutique leadership resilience consultancy working with organisations that take performance, people, and responsibility seriously. Our work is assessment-led and research-informed, combining robust data with lived experience to help leaders navigate pressure, complexity, and change in today’s workplaces.
We take an inclusive, context-aware approach to resilience. Rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions, we recognise how different roles, identities, environments, and expectations shape leadership experience and resilience at work. This allows us to partner with organisations in a way that is both commercially grounded and human-centred.
With over 50 years of combined experience across high-pressure industries, we understand the realities leaders face when balancing performance demands, team wellbeing, and organisational outcomes. As a values-led firm, we take corporate responsibility seriously — our work with clients also supports our wider social impact initiatives, ensuring our success contributes to positive change beyond the workplace.

Meet Our Team
Our work is delivered by an experienced team who bring complementary strengths to leadership resilience work. Led by Kai-Nneka Townsend, and supported by associates Phil Lunt and Sharon Pickering, we combine deep experience in high-pressure environments with a shared commitment to thoughtful, evidence-led practice.
Together, we bring decades of experience supporting leaders who are expected to deliver results while leading others and sustaining themselves in complex organisational contexts.
Our different perspectives strengthen the work, allowing us to challenge assumptions, adapt to varied leadership realities, and partner effectively with organisations across sectors.
As a boutique consultancy, we work closely and collaboratively with clients, offering continuity, discretion, and depth. Our focus is on long-term impact rather than one-off interventions, supporting leaders and organisations to build resilience that endures.
