I support and challenge leaders and teams who want to thrive more in their work.
My approach is to build resilience. To do this I help organisations navigate the tough times by supporting people to learn from their challenges and to emerge stronger.
Building resilience enables us to bounce forward. It is the capacity to keep moving forward by increasing the impact of our work and developing the skills to meet difficulties with more energy and creativity.

Building resilience enables us to bounce forward. It is the capacity to keep moving forward by increasing the impact of our work and developing the skills to meet difficulties with more energy and creativity.
My starting point is to define what success means to you and then design a programme of work to make it happen.
My priority is to create a safe environment where we can work openly and honestly. This means you will experience me as being highly supportive.
Sometimes my approach will feel uncomfortable too. I am known for doing work that leads to meaningful and impactful results, which means it is sometimes necessary to explore areas of difficulty and tension.
My approach is also driven by data, using heartbeat analytics to highlight areas of focus and to measure progress.
I work with clients to build resilience in the following three ways:
1:1 support
Working with you through one to one coaching sessions to thrive more in your work.
Working with teams
Building collective resilience focused on the issues or themes that are uniquely affecting your team.
Company wide resilience programme
Building resilience across an organisation in support of a broader goal, such as a culture change programme.

“Rowan has a high degree of emotional intelligence and this allowed him to vary his style as a facilitator effectively. He challenged us hard too. When we were walking up a steep hill he noticed us less as a coherent team and more as competitive individuals which opened up a frank dialogue about team dynamics back at the venue”.
– Richard Ellison, Deputy CFO
Kea Consultants
“Rowan has an amazing instinct for knowing what to focus on in our conversations and where to push my thinking. It’s something that other people would miss. He can take a topic and flip it on it’s head which gives me a totally different perspective”.

“I met up with Rowan for a number of coaching sessions that all involved cycling or walking in a range of locations. The sessions were structured exceptionally well and I found Rowan to be excellent at asking the right questions and encouraging me to think about issues from new angles”.

“Rowan has been a rock and rocket for me in equal parts. Our coaching sessions were a key catalyst in my ability to challenge the culture in my business because I re-discovered my belief and ability to collaborate with others. He offered a different perspective on what it means to be valuable in an organisation”.
