Embracing Tension
For Growth

If you can’t talk about it, you can’t change it. We guide leaders and teams to face the tension that change brings with clarity, presence, and courage.

Who We Are

Focus on Managing Tension

Change creates tension, and what you do with it matters. We are pioneers in introducing tension management into training programs, equipping leaders, teams and organizations with the capacity to handle uncomfortable situations constructively. Our work coaching leaders through change helps build trust and clarity in the moments that matter most.

Expertise Across Industries

Our deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by different sectors—particularly in government, technology, healthcare, aviation, and finance—allows us to offer highly specialized and actionable solutions.

Proven Track Record

Based on 30 years of research on tension, our founder, Dr. Matt Rawlins, has developed a working model to engage leaders, elevate teams, and transform organizations through targeted interventions.

The challenge for all leaders dealing with a changing world is to be fully present in the tension and not react to it. Tension is not a problem to be solved, but an opportunity.

What We Do

We empower leaders, teams and organizations with reflective coaching, transformational training, and strategic advising to navigate change with resilience and clarity.

Executive Coaching

Understanding what is relevant and what needs to change is paramount to strong, effective leadership. Executives and CEOs are often too close to their thinking or values to view them critically, or from another perspective. By coaching leaders through change, our team of experts enables you and your teams to reflect on how their thinking and value systems can be perceived across their organization.

Specialized Training & Development

Our expert-led training focuses on transformational learning through a blend of education, leadership, communication, and organizational development. We work with you and your teams in critical areas to help you understand where you are and where you want to go. The end result is a process to drive ownership, growth, and values to reinforce learning at all levels.

Tension-Based Workshops

Tension is the modern-day fulcrum point for most organizations. If you understand it and work with it, tension is the point where you can grow your people, learn to communicate effectively, and maximize the creativity needed to stay competitive. Tension is not the problem. It’s how we deal with tension that is the challenge for each of us. Our tension-based workshop helps bring clarity to your pain points, and provide action to leverage tension as a vital part of leadership and organizational development.

Corporate Advising

We are firm believers that to deal with change, people need to tackle difficult questions. By providing you and your teams with a roadmap, the dialogue around change will evolve and shine light on issues that need to be addressed. We are committed to being fully present throughout these turbulences, delivering the very best outcome for you and your organization.
