A Coaching Practice

Developing Meaningful Leadership Worldwide

At Noggin, we are on a mission to help leaders show up in the right way in the right context to achieve meaningful results.

​

Through coaching and development programmes, we help people turn into leaders who can communicate brilliantly, foster meaningful relationships and deliver the results that matter most.​

​

We work with individuals and teams to develop the inner and outer games of how to lead yourself and others.

 

In our 121 and group coaching we are known for creating surprisingly visceral, practical and deeply personal experiences.

The result? 

Profound personal development, transformational change… and competitive advantage.

What we've learned

Leadership Development Isn’t One Size Fits All

A lot of development struggles because it comes in one shape.

​

For most L&D teams, that quickly becomes a constraint - because you’re trying to support a wide range of needs, at scale.

 

The reality is - different people, and different moments, need different kinds of support.​

​

  • Sometimes people need to step back and do the deeper work - creating the space to properly shift how they show up.​

  • Sometimes they need somewhere to go - a quick way of accessing ideas, examples, and practical ways of handling what’s in front of them.

  • And sometimes they just need a light touch - something that keeps it front of mind, and helps them notice what’s happening in everyday moments.​

What we’ve built over time is a way of supporting all three - so you can meet people at different levels, depending on what’s needed.​​​​

  • Coaching and workshops provide the depth.

  • Our online platform gives you a way to scale this — without losing what makes it work.

  • And Not Noggin keeps things alive in between — simple, everyday prompts that help people recognise themselves before they know what to do with it.

  • Underpinning all of it is Nudge.

Nudge is what helps people see what’s happening while it’s happening - a way of checking in on how they’re showing up, and where they might want to adjust.

​

Taken together, this isn’t a set of products.


It’s a system that flexes - depending on what you need, and when you need it.

 

So you have more available to you, when it matters.

What we do

We create meaningful experiences….

We refer to what we do as developing emotional competence.

 

We coach and facilitate teams and individuals. 

 

We work with leaders to understand the challenges they face in the contexts in which they operate and aspire to operate.  

Contexts such as:

  • Setting direction and creating meaningful work for people

  • Engaging stakeholders, holding people to account and drawing out their inherent potential

  • Facilitating a focus on effective execution

We show leaders what’s really going on under the surface, suggest practical communication shortcuts

and help them identify and overcome how they might hold themselves back….

 

We help them make better choices in how they influence.

How we do it

How we do it

You can’t train emotional competence but you can coach it…

  • We work as adults for adults.

  • We encourage and embrace scepticism and challenge.

  • We don’t “teach” anything we can’t demonstrate ourselves.

  • We use a range of cutting edge tools some developed ourselves and some with others.

  • We design and deliver virtually and face to face. We deliver keynotes, workshops and longer term programmes.

  • We have our own Noggin learning portal for online resources to support self learning

What we are building

We’ve spent twenty years helping people change how they show up at work.

​​

We’re now exploring how some of that support can become easier to access, easier to engage with and easier to apply in the moment.

​

Nudge is our response to that challenge.

​

We’re currently testing it with a small number of organisations as we continue to make sure we are solving the right problem for people….

What we are building
