We help good people be braver at work
Our mission is to help those who want to make a difference through their work.
This work is needed now more than ever. We face significant societal issues. We must value and protect our most passionate, purpose-led people and organisations so they can stand up for what is right and be catalysts for positive change.
We provide services that inspire moral courage and brave leadership, enabling values-driven people & organisations to thrive.
Our Philosophy: Helping integrity to flourish
Enabling people who want to make a difference through their work to thrive.
Integrity is values + courage + support + great leadership.
We specialise in responsible leadership and the factors that enable values-driven people to thrive and overcome challenges such as resistance, backlash, burnout, compassion fatigue & moral injury.
We believe:
Most people have a moral compass & deeply-held values
Most leaders want to act with integrity
Most organisations want to be a force for good
15%
It's estimated that 15% of people are ‘moral rebels’ – people who refuse to comply with situations that compromise their values.
We believe this number can increase.
We believe that more people & organisations can responsibly act as moral rebels and be truly values-led.
Yet being values-led is easier said than done.
Our philosophy
Values-driven people are a force for good.
We call them 'ethical canaries', because they're driven to highlight unfairness, injustice, moral dilemmas and ethical issues.
They face occupational hazards in the workplace and depending on the prevailing culture, they'll either burn bright, or burnout.
They face resistance, backlash and ostracism to stand up for what is right, risking burnout, compassion fatigue and moral injury.
With the right support, they can build resilience and motivation to withstand these challenges.
When protected and empowered by responsible leaders, ethical canaries demonstrate moral courage and make a lasting, positive difference through their work.
