Our Foundations

At the heart of everything we do lies a commitment to fostering growth, resilience, and well-being in leaders, teams, and organizations. Our work is rooted in a unique blend of scientific frameworks and evidence-based practices, ensuring that every initiative we undertake is grounded in research and designed for real-world impact.

Theoretical foundations

Constructive Developmental Theories - we guide individuals and organizations through stages of cognitive and emotional growth, helping them navigate complexity with greater clarity and adaptability. These theories provide the backbone for developing leadership agility and fostering transformative change.
Positive Psychology - focusing on strengths, intrinsic motivation, and positive emotions like interest, joy, and pride, we help create cultures where individuals and teams thrive. Positive Psychology is integral to promoting well-being and unlocking potential.
Affective Neuroscience - understanding the emotional dynamics that drive behavior is key to building resilient leaders and organizations. We integrate insights from neuroscience to help individuals regulate emotions, build trust, and navigate energy dynamics effectively.
Complexity Leadership Theory - leadership today requires embracing complexity, fostering collaboration, and navigating interconnected systems. This theory helps organizations balance stability and adaptability, empowering leaders to drive innovation and manage change.

Our key models

The Energetically Developmental Model - a comprehensive framework that integrates emotional agility, cognitive growth, and energy dynamics to drive sustainable leadership and organizational success.
The Inner Compass - a tool for aligning values, principles, and actions, enabling individuals and teams to navigate challenges with clarity and purpose.
Psycho-Social Questionnaire (PSQ): - a Compass for Workplace Motivation and Well-Being. The PSQ is a comprehensive assessment tool that evaluates the organizational and social working environment, acting as a compass for intrinsic motivation and team dynamics. Grounded in Positive Psychology, the PSQ focuses on what is working—capturing factors derived from the Behavior Activation/Approach System (BAS), such as Interest, Joy, and Pride. This strengths-based approach highlights opportunities for growth rather than focusing solely on problems or risks. The PSQ also addresses the “background music” of the workplace, examining the Behavior Inhibition System (BIS), including stress, inhibiting emotions, and team dynamics, providing a holistic view of the organizational climate
The Positive Traits Developmental Model - roadmap for identifying strengths, uncovering hidden potentials, and addressing misused traits to foster individual and collective growth.
The Cultural Agility Compass - a framework for understanding and evolving organizational culture, highlighting areas for growth, uncovering shadow sides, and fostering collaboration and innovation.

Our approach

By combining these foundations and models, we empower organizations to build environments of psychological safety, trust, and shared purpose. Our approach ensures that leadership is not just about managing tasks but about inspiring transformation, cultivating well-being, and creating cultures of continuous learning and resilience.

Together, these foundations form the bedrock of Relational Management, enabling us to help organizations thrive in today’s dynamic and complex world.
