About Us

Welcome to Phoenix

Established in 2009, Phoenix has worked with a variety of organisations to ignite & unleash human potential – with business leaders, line managers, teams and individuals.

Our facilitators all have a pedigree business background – so they ‘get it’ and have ‘done it’ in the real world, and marry this experience with a passion for developing people, organisations and teams. So we deliver great results and real change every time.

Who are Phoenix?

Our Mission

Phoenix exists to bring humanity to work – at work, and in life. To help connect people with themselves, others and the world. To encourage people to dream, set and achieve their wildest goals – at work and at home. To help them learn and grow.

We’re here to drive self-awareness, increase potential and create momentum for positive change in individuals, organisations, and the world.

We do it through turning standard ‘training’ and ‘facilitation’ into an invitation to grow and develop on a human level, whilst getting 100% behind making the workplace more effective and successful.

We want to do more work with organisations and people that do great things in the world. Or just want to… and need some support to get there.

The Phoenix Philosophy

Phoenix work is underpinned by these key values and principles:

As human beings, we all have positive intentions, and different ways to achieve them
We’re all capable of positive change in ourselves, and in facilitating it in others
What we learn in life, we can bring to work, and vice versa

We’d love to work with you to facilitate learning and create positive change with your teams, managers and leaders.

The Phoenix Promise

We believe in:

Facilitating change that is more than ‘skin deep’
Enabling learning that is impactful and sustainable
Linking the learnings from both work and personal life to give a ‘total human’ impact
Delivering you an excellent return on investment at both a personal and business P&L level

We go way beyond the brief to create real change and to open eyes and minds to potential, possibilities and to deliver business results.
