Moving people and organisations from distracted to connected.
With over 40 years of experience in high-performance, group dynamics, and organisational change, we work with leaders and teams to do the work that matters most.
We don’t deliver templated solutions – everything we do is backed by science, tailored to your unique context, and applied with practical, real-world solutions. We bring equal parts safety and productive challenge – helping you to think differently, lead boldly, and build the kind of momentum that sticks.
If you’re after off the shelf solutions and quick fixes, we’re probably not your people. But if you’re ready to do what it takes to created sustained change – we’re all in.

MeeT Holly
Holly brings the kind of energy to the room that gets you buzzing about what’s possible – and ready to make things happen. She’s known for cutting through the BS and helping you land in a place of complete clarity about where you’re heading – and what needs to shift to get there.
She kick-started her career on a mine site, working in safety culture and fatality prevention, before going global – leading psychology-based change programs across healthcare, government, elite sport, and the private sector. At a Big Four consulting firm, Holly led the leadership and learning practice, guiding executives and frontline leaders through culture reform, strategy resets, and everything in between.
As Founder and Director of North, Holly’s mission is to move people from a place of reactivity and disconnection to doing the work that matters – helping individuals grow, lead, and perform at their best.
When she’s not in the room, you’ll find her in the coastal hinterland or on her family’s dairy farm – herding three kids under six, recharging with her nearest and dearest, and sipping a good red.
Master Of Business Leadership (MBL), Master Of Business Administration (MBA), Executive Coach Qualified, Bachelor Of Marketing And Public Relations, Advanced Diploma Occupational Health And Safety
Meet Scott
Scotty knows a thing or two about high performance – not everyone has the perspective of being a professional athlete across two sports. He’s learnt that the real work isn’t getting to the top of the game, it’s sustaining your efforts.
If you ask him, he’s far more interested in the game behind the game: what drives people to push their limits, grow through setbacks, and show up when it matters most.
Scott brings a rare kind of credibility to the room – the kind earned from 25 years in elite performance. That chapter gave him a front-row seat to what drives performance – and what derails it. He’s coached athletes, led national sporting pathways, and now brings that same perspective to leaders and teams across industries.
As Co-Founder and Director of North, Scott helps people cut through the noise and do the work that matters. In the room, he creates a space where people feel energised and safe to push themselves and each other. What gets him out of bed, is instilling belief, shaping destinies and unshackling the stuck.
For the past two decades, he’s channeled his lived experience into coaching leaders and teams across corporate, government, private and high-performance sport. He is passionate about the science and application of what it takes to shift from knowing to doing.
Out of hours, you’ll find this proud family man drinking wine, learning, and spending time on the golf course with his kids or his mates.
Masters of Business Administration (MBA) Leadership And Innovation (Co-Dux), Leadership, Innovation And Strategy (University Of Melbourne), Foundation Psychology A (University Of Southern Queensland), Executive Coach Qualified, High-Performance Coach Qualified (Tennis Australia)
