About Us
Specialists in awareness, change, coaching and communications. Architects of AWARE, WILLING and ABLE©
After extended education and various degrees (doctors, physicists, psychologists, engineers, journalism and media) all our team changed tack to a business and coaching career.
We've been fortunate to study coaching with some great people, including the late Freddie Strasser at Regents College. Drama studies also helps inform our knowledge of influencing, relationships, presentation and public speaking.
It would be hard to be a coach without experience of leading teams and change. All of us have led teams & programs that have won awards for business & strategy, and led organisations into various recognised 'Best Places To Work' listings. Each of us have at least 20 years' experience across multiple sectors.
_Unstick collaborates on research in neurodiversity, intrinsic motivation, behavioural change and practical psychology and co-develops and publishes iPhone/iPad Apps.
