Core Services
Executive Coaching for Innovation Leaders
Transform how you lead through uncertainty and complexity
Move beyond generic executive coaching to specialized support designed for innovation leaders. Through psychoanalytic listening and proven frameworks, we'll develop your capacity to:
Navigate organizational resistance and drive adoption of new ideas
Build resilience and decision-making skills under high uncertainty
Expand your influence and credibility when leading transformational initiatives
Create psychological safety for teams to take intelligent risks
Ideal for: C-suite executives, innovation directors, transformation leaders, and entrepreneurs scaling breakthrough ventures
Leadership Development Training
Equip your talent with innovation-specific capabilities
Standard leadership training wasn't built for the unique challenges of driving innovation. Our programs develop the behavioural skills and mindsets that separate successful innovation leaders from the rest:
Innovation Leadership Fundamentals: Core competencies for leading new ideas through organizations
Leading Through Ambiguity: Decision-making and team management when the path isn't clear
Building Innovation Culture: Creating conditions where breakthrough thinking thrives
Systems Thinking for Leaders: Understanding and influencing complex organizational dynamics
Ideal for: High-potential leaders, innovation teams, R&D departments, and transformation initiatives
Cultural Assessment & Diagnosis
Decode what's really happening beneath the surface
Organizations often know they need to change but struggle to understand why initiatives stall or fail. Using systems psychodynamics, we uncover the hidden patterns, assumptions, and behaviours that either accelerate or sabotage your strategic goals:
Map the invisible dynamics affecting innovation success
Identify cultural barriers to transformation
Design targeted interventions to shift organizational behaviour
Create roadmaps for sustainable culture change
Ideal for: Organizations launching innovation initiatives, companies struggling with change adoption, or leadership teams facing recurring challenges
Strategy Facilitation & Alignment
Navigate leadership team dynamics to achieve breakthrough alignment
When leadership teams get stuck in familiar patterns or seek to align on ambitious goals, neutral facilitation becomes essential. Brett creates safe space for productive conflict and breakthrough thinking:
Facilitate high-stakes strategic planning sessions
Guide leadership teams through complex decisions
Surface and resolve underlying tensions that block progress
Build sustainable alignment processes for ongoing challenges
Ideal for: Leadership teams facing complex strategic decisions, organizations launching new ventures, or groups struggling with recurring conflicts
The Psychodynamic Advantage
What sets this work apart is the integration of psychoanalytic observation and diagnostic techniques with practical business frameworks. This means we can:
See what others miss: Identify the unconscious patterns that drive organizational behavior
Work with resistance: Transform opposition into productive energy for change
Accelerate progress: Address root causes rather than just symptoms
Create lasting change: Build capabilities that continue delivering results long after our engagement
