Leadership & Organisational Development

Obsidian offers organisations radically different development opportunities from those they may have experienced before.

​

Who's it for?

Our bespoke group programmes are most suitable for company directors, executive teams, non-executive boards, steering groups, intact teams, creatives, newly formed or multidisciplinary teams, and start-ups.

​

Coaching

We also offer individual coaching as part of a programme or at any stage before (to develop intentions) or after (to aid integration). 

​

This work is not for the feint-hearted because the outcomes cannot be predetermined; neither will they be immediately quantifiable; however, you will notice an immediate qualitative difference in the way you work together.

​

We help you to create an environment of "safe uncertainty" (Mason, B.), a highly generative environment within which to work. We use the protocol of "the way of council" to improve communication, develop trust and empathy, and to build a strong container for collaboration.

​

Gaining comfort with uncertainty and not-knowing will improve your agility, flexibility, resourcefulness, resilience and ability to handle change.

​

Because the creative capacity is stimulated it can provide an idea environment in which to develop fresh ideas and ways of working across your organisation. 

​

We can offer organisational constellations (Jan Jacob Stan) to surface organisational issues and tensions which may lie under the surface and are hampering your organisation's progress. Constellations can also be a useful way of testing new ideas, prototypes, and strategies. 

  

 

Potential of our programmes:

​

• Stimulation of your imaginal, creative faculty, helping you to generate novel ideas and creative solutions to complex problems & increasing your capacity to innovate;

• Disruption of your habitual ways of thinking and behaving, which 'wakes up' your brain, increasing attention, presence, and cortical connectivity;

• Increase trust & the ability to collaborate;

• Improve communication using 'The Way of Council';
