WE START WITH THE END IN MIND
Listen. Create. Alchemise.
Before we offer any solutions, we get clear on what success looks like to you.
We want to understand what you want to achieve, what keeps you awake at night and what’s already going well.
"We don’t yet know what success mean to you, or to your business.
We don’t yet know the challenges you’re facing, or what your people believe they are up against.
What we do know is that we want to find out"
The Alchemy Academy
ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE WITH A LITTLE ALCHEMY
Your business is unique, and requires a tailored plan of action. We don’t provide standard out of the box ‘one size fits all’ solutions. From experience, we know that approach is unlikely to deliver the impactful and sustainable results you're looking for.
The Alchemy process takes you on a journey from where you are to where you want to be, by identifying and reducing or removing the interference that's getting in your way.
It's a process of subtraction that leaves you with less on your mind and more space to create, to innovate and to enjoy the work you're here to do.

DISCOVER
We always start with the end in mind. We listen for what success looks like to our clients, what they hope to achieve and where they want to be.
We ask questions to understand what appears to be getting in the way.
It can be like a breath of fresh air, talking to someone with a neutral view about what has been, and an optimistic and enthusiastic view on the possibilities of the future.
DESIGN
We take what we heard in the Discover session, and translate that into a proposal that outlines the key shifts you need to make and how we plan to help you get there.
Once we’ve confirmed we’re aligned, we’ll design the programme in more detail, knowing it will evolve based on our observations and your feedback.
Our programme design aims for transformation, not information overload.
DeLIVER
Being in one of our programmes is an experience like no other.
Our programmes are built and delivered around the notion of subtraction - what can we take OFF your mind, to free up the space and energy for new, fresh thinking?
How can we LIGHTEN the mental load and illuminate blind spots so you can access more of your potential?
What irrelevant or unnecessary mental interference can we take off the table, leaving you with the clarity you need to navigate life and work with confidence?

The Alchemy Solution
Our clients view us as true business partners and appreciate how we positively impact their people. They value our understanding of their needs, our innovative solutions, and how we measurably improve their business results.
From 2 hours to 2 years
Our solutions will be a unique blend of some or all of the methods below.

- Leadership transformation retreats

- 1-1 transformative coaching immersions
Our programmes are all designed for impact, with lightness in mind - who said being serious in business gets better results?
Here's how it looks to us: the more we lighten up, the more creative, innovative and intelligent we seem to become.
Explore these (non-contractual - it's all bespoke, remember?) examples to get an idea of the kinds of issues we can help you with.
READY AND RESILIENT
For a person or a team to make a shift from feeling overwhelmed or on the brink of burnout, to feeling resilient and able to deal with life and perform to their best, may require a combination of interactions over a period of several months.
CULTURE CREATION
A complete culture transformation programme involving hundreds or even thousands of employees will be a longer-term programme composed of a mix of all of these elements, and will start with the leadership team.
LEADERSHIP TRANSFORMATION
For a leadership team to move from dysfunctional to functional and then thriving may be achieved within a few months using a blend of these elements, depending on the focus and commitment of the team and organisation, and the nature of the issues presenting.
STRATEGIC AWAY-DAY
FACILITATION
To ensure engagement and best bang-for-buck for a strategic leadership away-day, a bespoke two-hour session will set your day up for success, improving listening and engagement. We’ll check in with your leaders throughout the day to ensure they’re keeping their part of the bargain.
INNOVATION KICKSTARTER
Where a business is ‘stuck’ on a critical issue, we offer a multi-day offsite innovation workshop designed to uncover blind spots, remove interference, unlock new thinking and get things moving again. If several days seems excessive, consider: What’s it costing you to stay stuck?
WELLBEING TEAM MENTORING
Helping a wellbeing team to make the shift from ‘ambulance at the bottom of the cliff’ to the hub of unconditional wellbeing for an organisation may involve a 6-month programme of mentoring and group and individual coaching.
LEADING THROUGH UNCERTAINTY
When nothing is certain and change is constant, your people still expect you to lead with clarity, strength and conviction. Depending on needs, a Leadership programme such as this may take the form of a four-day immersion or a longer-term, multi-dimensional transformation programme.
RADICAL COLLABORATION
When relationships can make or break teams, projects and businesses, genuine collaboration is the key to success. This is likely to be either a multi-day workshop, or a programme that spans the life of a project or takes a team on a transformation journey of several months.
CHANGE MAGIC
Key to your success is your people's ability to navigate and manage their own change process. A programme to reduce the noise and help people access their natural resourcefulness and resilience may take the form of a multi-day in-person workshop, or a multi-month accompaniment through a change initiative.
