Hi there, I'm Richard. I help run people make it work, and support or direct programmes and support the team as they work with our clients. I love helping leaders understand their amazing strengths as well as the areas that will benefit from some attention and development. I really enjoy helping organisations and their leaders to explore and develop their ideas, expanding their sense of what is possible and turning audacious ideas into real, sold cultural businesses that are resilient and create extraordinary impact in our society. I believe in people make it work, and the ethos that we all embody - that human beings have infinite potential, that each of us is always on a development journey, that connecting with our values and our organisations' mission can release huge amounts of energy, that organisations thrive when they tend relationships, support each other and grow positive cultures. We work in the arts because I fervently believe in the power of arts and culture to transform lives through helping each of us understand the world through other peoples eyes, connect with our wider humanity, see opportunities beyond our direct experience and have sublime experiences. The people in this team are a daily inspiration to me, and it's a humbling experience to support our clients in their magnificent endeavours.

Hello, I’m Hilary. As a consultant systemic psychotherapist, I love working collaboratively to create and accomplish agendas for change. I pay close attention to diversity and culture, and aim to harness the richness and resourcefulness inherent, but sometimes hidden, within teams. As understanding is gained, organisational objectives can be realised, new thinking emerges and ideas develop to become action. I love curious clients: clients who are willing to shake up their sense of the world, and look through a different lens to experiment with different ways of being, seeing and operating. I value and admire not only an organisation’s creative endeavours, but the creativity of every team member, and enjoy helping or-ganisations embrace this creativity in the pursuit of positive change and difference. I have worked within the NHS for twenty-five years and I am currently a lead consultant in Surrey. I have also worked in various higher education establishments and am a consultant at the Tavistock Centre where I lecture and supervise on the integrated professional doctoral programme. I would love to bring my broad experience of the arts and organisations to en-rich your team’s potential and help facilitate positive change. My style is one of warmth, wisdom and humour. Clients frequently remark upon my energy, commitment and passion. My work incorporating arts into the systemic field has been described as ‘ground-breaking’ and my recent publication has been critically reviewed as ‘outstanding’ and ‘a great development for the systemic community’. I have a doctorate in systemic psychotherapy and my research explored how change can be embedded in organisations. This included cultural and personal challenges in promoting innovation within teams, how we might identify and respond to individual, group and organisational default positions, and what is needed to be in place for change to be realised and sustained. As a musician, I am aware that some things can be communicated more fully without words. I am keen to help organi-sations also find these unspoken narratives and include them in their thinking.

Hello there, I am passionate about equality, inclusion and representation, I love collaborating with people and organisations and helping them to answer profound questions about future vision, values and strategy which is ambitious, inspiring and optimistic, but which looks unflinchingly at the challenges and vulnerabilities in our cultural sector and our society. I’m currently supporting and enabling Boards and Directors with transitions to new leadership and inclusive cultures through my work as a coach, facilitator, mentor and consultant. I am interested in collaborating with people and organisations that are committed to building a better world and creating positive change, who want to become an effectively anti-racist and anti-discriminatory, relevant and inclusive organization and are ready to champion new voices, embrace risk and new ways of working. Some of the organisations I have worked with are Coventry City of Culture, East Street Arts, Museum of London, Nottingham UNESCO City of Literature, Nottingham City Libraries, Royal Shakespeare Company, UNESCO Creative Cities, UNESCO, National Commission for the UK  and Women’s Prize Trust. In the future I would love to be an honest and challenging thinking partner and facilitator, working with more leaders from small and large organisations across the UK and internationally, and help them shape future narratives and actions that make the biggest positive impact.

Hello! I’m Vicki Igbokwe.

The types of work I love doing is collaborating with people and organisations who are ready to step outside of their comfort zones and explore possibilities and opportunities they do not think are available to them.  They are ready for real change, willing to have meaningful conversations (including the difficult ones), understand the importance of their team and can trust the journey even while hitting temporary bumps along the way.  This can be done through 1-2-1 coaching and group facilitation.

Characteristics I love to find in a client are those who are open to doing things differently, curious, able to laugh at themselves, open to being vulnerable, willing to let go of the façade, want what is best for them/their team/organisation and not with being right, want to have fun and enjoy the process.

Some of the organisations you have worked with include Dance4, Looks Like Me, AkomaAsa and Diverse City.

I’d love to do more work in the future with organisations that are ready for change, consulting on strategies that embed Diversity, Inclusivity and Equality in the heart of the organisation, empowering individuals within organisations to find strategies to lead their teams more effectively and generally creating space and time for organisations to connect with the individuals who are the foundation of their business.  

Nice things clients have said about me include my ability to create a safe space for open conversations free of judgement, enable them to own being empowered, entertained and educated, bring focus and clarity, enable them to breathe and relax, let go of anxiety, tension, doubt, to laugh (sometimes while shedding a tear).

My specialist areas are dance, theatre and people. Working from the inside out.

My work will enable you to think fierce, be fabulous and live spirited in a way that brings value to you and those around you.
