Every client is a partner
Work with us.
Here’s how it works - the ways we can work together, how it starts, what it costs, and what you can expect from us. No jargon, no surprises. Based in Aotearoa New Zealand, working across NZ and globally - in person or online.
Start a conversation →Ways to work together
Pick the shape that fits.
Coaching
One-to-one or for a leadership team. Executive and leadership coaching, CliftonStrengths, Delevate™. Practical and strengths-based.
More →A team day or workshop
Values, strengths, alignment, Purposeful Productivity. Hands-on, in the room, ending in commitment rather than conversation.
More →Strategy facilitation and offsites
Boards and leadership teams to a plan on a page - and the cascade so every person can name their part.
More →Fractional strategic support
Senior people, culture and strategy partnership on a rhythm that suits you, without a full-time hire.
More →Recruitment and attraction
Values-first, end to end - from the role definition to the person in the seat and their first month.
More →Speaking and facilitation
Keynotes and facilitation for boards, conferences, principals and paddocks. Story first, framework second.
More →Ai, done Humans First
Start with the Ai Reality Session - half a day on site, then a written roadmap. Fixed price. Then Ai Brain builds and Ai-assisted operations if it makes sense.
More →Something bespoke
Tell us your problem. We’ll design the solution.
Not everything fits a menu. If you’ve got a knotty people problem, a team that’s stuck, a restructure you’re dreading, or a system that’s quietly eating everyone’s week - bring it. We’ll get curious, work out what’s really going on, and co-design something that fits your people, your pace and your budget.

Now I have a purpose and a goal, which I think was lacking.
How it starts
Three steps. No surprises.
Connect
A real conversation, no charge, no pitch. Where you are, what’s working, what’s in the way. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so and point you somewhere better.
Co-Design
We shape the work together - the scope, the rhythm, the price - and put it in a plain-English engagement letter. Designed with you, not handed to you.
Create Impact
Then we make it real. People engaged, leaders equipped, a culture built to last. And we stay honest about what’s working as we go.
What it costs
Priced per engagement. Written in plain English.
Every piece of work is shaped to your situation, so pricing is quoted per engagement - a project, a day, or an hourly rate - once we’ve had the first conversation. Our engagement letters are kept plain. No legalese, no lock-ins.
The one fixed price on the menu is the Ai Reality Session. Everything else is a conversation first.
What to expect
What working with us feels like.
Honesty over polish
You’ll get the truth, delivered kindly. If something isn’t working, you’ll hear it from us first.
Lived, not theory
Everything we bring has been done in a real business, with real people and real consequences.
You own it
We co-design and we build capability. The aim is a team that doesn’t need us, not one that does.
Done over perfect
Plan on a page, not a 75-page deck. Momentum matters more than polish.
Not a client, still keen?
Delivery partners, referrers and causes.
Delivery partners
Facilitators, coaches and consultants who share the Humans First way of working. We co-deliver with people we trust to carry the same standard into the room.
Referrers
You know a leader or team who needs this and it’s not your lane. Send them our way. We’ll look after them, and be honest with you if we’re not the right fit.
Causes and community
Giving back is built into how we work. If your kaupapa lines up, let’s talk.
What we look for: lived experience over theory, honesty over polish, people who play the ball not the player. If that’s you, the rest we can figure out over a coffee.
We’re ready when you are
Tell us where you’re at.
One leader, one team, or the whole organisation. The first conversation is free, and honest.
