Building trust in a high-pressure environment.

What got you here, won’t get you there.

Real professional development is personal development. And we’ve made it accessible.

We train your teams & leaders to be brave, to open up, to challenge each other, to trust each other, to lean into the unknown, to achieve more together.

We do this for organisations in all sectors - business, not-for-profit, government, education, sport. Any organisation that understands it takes true self-awareness and empathy to take risks and go further.

"We came out of the workshop having done more in a few hours to build trust, mutual respect and a highly effective relationship than we had in weeks beforehand."

- Paul Lacy, Founder, Kikki.k

“Business is done between humans beings, and unless those human beings know each other, like each other, respect each other, and (importantly) understand each other, then you will always have a sub-optimal outcome. Wake gives you the ability to turn the heart back on.”

- Anthony Klein, Partner, PwC
