about us
We strive for positive change through conversations that impact culture.
People are at the heart of our business
WHO WE ARE
At PeopleQ, we are passionate about people. Our 'why' centres around inspiring cultures to thrive, so people thrive, and we are steadfast in that purpose. We are certified executive coaches, integrative development practitioners, EQ, C-IQ, Resilience and Psychological safety practitioners, and more.
​
Our team uniquely brings 30+ years leadership experience to our practice. We recognise that outstanding results can only be achieved if teams are deeply aligned, connected, engaged and inspired.
We work with you to co-design and cultivate a thriving culture
WHAT SETS US APART
People are complex and see the world as they are which is why we understand that leadership and culture is not necessarily linear. Rather, it is a journey incorporating the natural flows of being human and bringing your whole self to work.
Every Leader is different, as each organisation is very different, and so our programs are designed to meet your needs and theirs.
We hold space for leaders and support them in being able to rise up and show up for their team in a way that’s authentic to them yet has the impact that’s required to engage. We partner with our clients in a way that the leader, team and organisation emerge to become the hero in their own story - co-designing and cultivating a thriving culture together.
