“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!”
Whether initiating new projects or driving positive change, we collaborate with startups and global businesses alike, as consultants, ‘doers’, coaches and active Advisory Board members, championing business and creative projects that inspire human flourishing. Ultimately, we work with you and your team to do things like connect to purpose, build strong partnerships, develop new revenue streams, create services or experiences, and win business-changing contracts from a place that stays true to the needs of the people carrying the vision.
Why? Together, we amplify. We believe in the potential in all of us, and how available it is through personal inquiry, inspiration, resourcefulness, education, understanding the needs of others and ourselves, and seeing the power in our combined strengths and inter-dependencies. We help you to bring your strategy to life – devising the right blend of specialist input to enable your people to meet the business objectives and client requirements in ways that feel meaningful.
Who we’ve worked with
Winning $300m strategic bid into new territory and cornerstone report to make big data, digestible
Working with a highly skilled team at a private lottery management company, we supported their major strategic bid to establish themselves in North America. Alongside internal researchers, we authored the Consumer Insights Report, which linked big data to the bid proposition. Our team of Wamplify technical writers supported the client’s subject matter experts to produce compelling responses. We delivered key messaging; style guide; bid writing; additional local writers for cultural alignment, and briefing designers in high-impact bid visuals
Company repositioning, team education programme, marketing strategy and delivery, including award win at the “Oscars of great British business”
Working with company directors, we identified and developed a new service proposition that brought together and exploited previously disparate in-house teams. The aim was to repeat their greatest successes in a clear and scalable way. We devised the marketing strategy to support a rebrand and a range of initiatives to raise their profile amongst target client groups, including producing their winning entry for and award described by former UK PM as, “the Oscars of great British Business.”
North West Cyber Security Roadshow, event development, speaker coaching and lead generation
We had already been engaged to develop and deliver an IT infrastructure company’s marketing strategy – this featured leadership communications to transfer our knowledge and build internal capability. As part of establishing the client as an expert in an (at the time) emerging field of cyber security, we supported them to deliver the North West Cyber Security Roadshow, where they had secured speaker partners from Barclays Bank and the Regional Organised Crime Unit. We delivered event development, presentation content, speaker coaching and lead generation.
Keeping political stagnation at bay through honest relationships and ‘best-for-project’ focus
HS2 £36bn bid support for Tier 1 contractors, community communications, and supply chain on-boarding programme
Working with Tier 1 infrastructure contractors bidding for various HS2 packages, we supported a large bid team through numerous bids, from planning and developing responses to quality assurance. We led a supply chain of design and software developers to produce community engagement materials and to produce the client’s concept for a behavioural on-boarding programme for the workforce and extensive supply chain.
Willingness to challenge and be challenged, to bring rigour and build confidence

Purposeful communication
A team who understand how to turn the business’ vision into reality tend to be more engaged, great problem solvers and bring more original ideas. We take a whole-workplace approach, designing ways of working and coaching to support the personal transformation that drives success in ways that feel meaningful, while meeting performance goals.
Workplace Canvas programme
Taking a deep dive into your organisation to offer a becnhmark for your organisation and workplace ‘snapshot’, you gain more visibility for strategic decision making. And, to address people and process blockages at their root, freeing your team from frustration and relational dynamics that don’t serve their role or personal well-being. We bring healthy challenge, compassion and openness to find the best solutions based on people’s strengths.
Winning major contracts
We work with business development and bid teams on positioning and bid development to secure public sector contracts, typically £100m-£10bn in value. Our support includes review and feedback, key message development, response planning, writing training and independent review to bring rigour to stand-out bids. We also draw on a ‘tried and tested’ supply chain for bid production who understand the needs and intricacies of bid and proposals.
Coaching: The Awakened Leader
What does it mean to you to lead and live ‘in your element’? To expand? To us, this isn’t about becoming a ‘new’ (or ‘new age’) leader. This is about embodying the full potential of the leader you already are. Deeper self-awareness, tapping into your unique strengths, skills and inner faith to move with purpose, presence and vision. We draw on accredited coaching, creative tools and intuitive working to help you build a positive legacy in all areas of your life.
Coaching: The Artist Innovator
Leaders and teams who are connected to their creative energy and understand how to direct it tangibly, tend to have more original ideas, feel calmer, find it easier to solve problems and can build momentum around their projects. We partner with you to seriously play with your potential at every stage of your career, at the pace and style that suits your comfort and intention. You become your own inspiration for personal growth and success on your terms.
