A Bit About Us
We believe that change continually happens, leading to irrelevancy that we often do not anticipate. It happens personally and it happens professionally.
As individuals, it happens every time we feel we are unable to make our contributions heard or be felt. It can happen when we change jobs, get new employers, or when we retire by choice or by organizational shifts.
Organisations become conscious of the ripple effects of a society that carries the weight of a growing number of people that feel “irrelevant and excluded.”
Our practice exists to support individuals and organisations that want to develop the skills to re-create themselves and find chaos and change as prompts to activate their antifragile capabilities.
Antifragility is our ability to benefit from disruption, and we are able to thrive and grow in this environment. It goes beyond resilience (recovery from failure) and robustness (resisting failure). Rather, it increases organisations’ and individual’s overall capacity to thrive in unknown environments, using uncertainty, volatility, mistakes or failures, as fuel to generate new versions or enhanced versions of self themselves.
