Who guides us…
Founder, Neuroscience Nerd, Change Whisperer, and Border Collie’s Human
Troy is a seasoned transformation leader with 25+ years of experience guiding organisations through complex change. He’s worked across sectors, from education to defence to banking, and built a reputation for being the calm in the chaos.
He brings together a powerful mix of neuroscience, facilitation, and humour to help leaders navigate resistance, uncertainty, and team dynamics with clarity and connection. With an Advanced Diploma in the Neuroscience of Leadership and keynote appearances at national conferences, Troy knows how to make big ideas land and stick.
He also knows that true transformation doesn’t happen through top-down PowerPoint decks. It happens through trust, storytelling, feedback, play, and understanding how people actually work.
Oh, and he’s owned by a Border Collie called Neo, who has better pattern recognition than most exec teams.
Troy King - Director & Principal Consultant
What we believe
- Connection beats compliance: People don’t resist change—they resist feeling ignored, excluded, or unprepared.
- Play, curiosity, and creativity aren’t ‘nice-to-haves’: They’re the keys to resilience and problem-solving in high-stakes environments.
- Leaders shape culture, not org charts: We help transform your leadership for #FailSAFE cultures, fearless, autonomous, and emotionally intelligent.
- Frameworks should serve people, not the other way around: We’ll never drop a 40 page template and walk away
Our Focus
Whether you’re transforming your leadership, building team capability, or trying to bring a idea to life, we partner with you to:
- Design change strategies that align with how the brain works (and how teams actually behave)
- Build resilient leaders and emotionally intelligent teams
- Tackle resistance with empathy, not force
- Make training, facilitation and enablement fun, effective and grounded in real life
