Ali Tocker

Developing practical solutions and ideas that you can put into action. I help people think about the situation as a whole and provide perspective and focus on the options. I work with people to find a bigger sense of what they can do.

My Sweet Spot Work:

Executive coaching, large group facilitation and emerging leaders – working with people who are excited about developing and learning. Helping people to think about a bigger picture and how they can influence and lead from wherever they are.

Sarah Tocker

The Problems I help Solve:

I’m useful in complex or tough situations – conversations that need to happen; courageous stands that need to be taken, multi-angle issues and getting under the overt issues to work on the gnarly bits – at an individual, team and organisational level. I’ll help you figure out how to get out of overwhelm and into action.

My Sweet Spot Work:

Moments of liminality – helping people, teams and organisations shift from what is to what can be. Supporting people to have conversations that are important and uncomfortable.  System – level change. I love working with people who are interested in making big decisions. I also spend time thinking about how we create space at the table for the people who may not have access to it.

Adam Cooper

The Problems I help Solve:

I help leaders who want to:

• Re-set or transition their teams or organisations.
• Develop new capacities in themselves or in their teams.
• Grow cultures that demonstrate creativity, innovation and collaboration.

My Sweet Spot Work:

I do my best work with people who want to learn and are prepared to challenge the status quo. I love to:

• Coach individuals and teams as they grapple with what it means to work across boundaries and cultures.
• Facilitate events and processes that generate learning.
• Work with cross-functional teams as they tackle complex change.
