Who We Are

Highly qualified and motivated professionals

Andy spent 37 years in the Army and is bringing what he learned there, and through life, to help you with your leadership and management difficulties and dilemmas. Since leaving he has retrained as a Level 7 coach and leadership mentor, ready to help you to find the answers to the challenges you face. He's also a professional yacht skipper and instructor.

Hilary has worked for the NHS for almost 40 years and is a qualified clinical hypnotherapist. She can help you overcome subconscious barriers that are limiting your potential as a manager or leader.

Current Initiatives

In 2025 we are running leadership and resilience continuous professional development on board a 70' sailing yacht, the JAMES COOK off Tyneside, a project we call Leadership Sails. Since she was built by Tyneside apprentices the boat has been round the World and now takes children and young people on adventures in the UK, Scandinavia and Europe. She is chartered from the Ocean Youth Trust (North), the charity that delivers the adventures.

Conducting CPD on the sea takes people out of their comfort zone and optimises training and builds confidence. The professional team on board wil ensure all attendees are kept between their comfort and stretch zones, and out of their panic zone where great learning is really hard. No previous sailing experience is required.

This is unique to the North East and is a great way to see the River Tyne and the North East coast from a different perspective.
