Organizational development · Leadership · Culture

Development begins with awareness.

We help leaders, teams, and organizations understand the patterns, relationships, and assumptions that shape how they work. Together, we explore what needs attention and develop ways forward that fit their reality.

Meraki Leadership through Awareness

Our flagship program helps experienced leaders examine how they lead, relate, and shape their teams. Explore the Self, the Other, and the Situation through experiential learning, individual coaching, and reflection with peers.

Bringing care to the work we do

Meraki means doing something with love, care, and creativity; putting something of yourself into your work. For us, it means approaching people and organizations with curiosity, attention, and personal commitment.

For organizations

Understand what needs attention. Develop a way forward.

You may have a clear objective, a recurring challenge, or a sense that something needs attention. We begin by exploring your situation, then design the work around your organization's context and needs.

  • Organizational development and culture

    Explore how your organization works, clarify the culture you want to develop, and connect that intention with everyday practice.

  • Executive and team development

    Examine how you work together, address difficult conversations, and develop stronger relationships and shared direction.

  • Facilitated meetings and dialogue

    Bring people together around a purpose, from strategic and board meetings to conversations across departments and team retrospectives.

  • Leadership and learning programs

    Develop your leaders through Leadership through Awareness or a learning program designed around your organization's needs.

Meraki Leadership through Awareness

Give your own development the attention you give to others.

Leading people can leave little space to examine how you lead. This program creates that space: to understand your recurring patterns, explore your impact, and practise different ways of responding to real challenges.

You work through three connected perspectives.

  • The Self

    Notice the emotions, assumptions, and habitual responses that influence your decisions and behavior.

  • The Other

    Develop how you listen, give and receive feedback, navigate conflict, and support other people's growth.

  • The Situation

    Understand how team culture, motivation, organizational conditions, and change influence what happens around you.

Open program

Learn alongside experienced leaders from different organizations. The journey combines 16 modules, four individual coaching sessions, peer learning, and facilitated reflection over 8–12 months.

How we work together matters.

  • Awareness

    Notice the patterns, assumptions, and relationships shaping your work, and consider the choices available to you.

  • Dialogue

    Make room for different perspectives, honest questions, and conversations that may have been difficult to begin.

  • Work designed around context

    Bring your challenges and objectives. We explore what needs attention and design an approach that fits your situation.

  • Learning through practice

    Try new approaches, reflect on what happens, and connect learning with everyday work, with the organization's support.
