Transform how your people work together in times of change
We design and deliver immersive leadership and team experiences that help people connect, collaborate and make change happen, especially inside complex organisations.
Organisations we’ve delivered transformational work for
Here’s what you might be thinking
The pace of change is faster than my team can keep up with. We're constantly navigating restructures, shifting priorities and new expectations from the top, and it's taking a toll on our ability to do great work.
And don't even get me started on what adopting AI is asking of us.
I need my people to adapt and take initiative. Instead, they're playing it safe, decisions take forever and we spend more time planning change than actually making it happen.
I know we can't keep working like this. But I don't know how to get everyone moving in the same direction again.
If that sounds familiar, here are 3 experiences that will help you:
Our core services
01 | Team development
The Catalyst
Reset how your team works effectively together despite the disruption around them.
IDEAL FOR:
Newly formed teams, navigating a change in leadership or figuring out how to work together after a restructure, redundancy round or M&A
HOW IT WORKS:
1 day in person or 3 virtual sessions ·
30-day follow-up .
Intact or cross functional teams
THE EXPERIENCE:
A hands-on, high-energy session where your team gets to know each other beyond their titles, discovers how to make the most of everyone's strengths and gets aligned on what they're working towards.
Through practical challenges and group conversations, we'll uncover what's helping or hindering collaboration and agree on the behaviours, rituals and ways of working that will make the biggest difference.
Your team leaves with stronger dynamics and connections, a shared direction and a set of practical changes to implement.
02 | Leadership development
The Changemaker
Build the skills and confidence
to lead your people through constant change.
IDEAL FOR:
Organisations developing new and mid-level managers, rolling out major transformation programmes or looking to strengthen leadership capabilities.
HOW IT WORKS:
7 × 90-minute sessions .
2 in person + 5 virtual when possible.
Up to 8 leaders per cohort
THE EXPERIENCE:
A practical, interactive programme exploring the psychology of change and the five leadership behaviours that help teams thrive: Connection, Clarity, Curiosity, Courage and Celebration.
Across seven sessions, participants will explore these behaviours through hands-on activities, peer discussions and live challenges, then test what they've learnt with their own teams between sessions.
They'll leave with greater confidence, practical tools they've already put to use and a shared approach to leadership
03 | Change & Innovation
The Co-Lab
30 days to turn a business challenge into tangible progress and learning to build on.
IDEAL FOR:
Leaders looking to bring a big idea to life, explore opportunities for AI, redesign an outdated process or way of working, or finally tackle a stubborn business problem.
HOW IT WORKS:
Discovery interviews . 1 in-person kick-off workshop and 3 virtual check-ins over 30 days. Expert support throughout
THE EXPERIENCE:
We start by speaking with the right folks to understand the challenge and what's getting in the way of solving it. Then we bring the right people together for a hands-on workshop to align on the problem, and develop solutions worth testing.
Over the following 30 days, your team puts those ideas into practice, with our help to navigate obstacles and keep things moving.
You'll finish with tested ideas, learnings you can use and a repeatable process your team can use the next time they spot a problem worth solving.
What clients say about working with us
Meet the founder, Amale
I spent almost 20 years working in corporate strategy, innovation and organisational transformation, helping some of the world's biggest organisations navigate complex challenges, rethink how they operate and turn ambitious ideas into reality. Fast.
As a former Executive Strategy Director, I've seen first-hand what makes transformation stick, and what gets in the way. Brilliant strategies that never make it off the PowerPoint slides. Talented people stuck in outdated ways of working. Leaders who want to do things differently but struggle to bring everyone along.
Sound familiar?
That's why I founded The Brick Coach. I wanted to take everything I'd learnt about strategy, change and human behaviour and turn it into practical, hands-on experiences that help people work better together and make meaningful progress.
I also wrote a bestselling book, Experimental, covering all the work we do at The Brick Coach. And I regularly speak at company and industry events.
And a few other faces you might meet…
Less sitting and listening. More doing and discovering.
What makes us different
Ever watched a room full of people nod enthusiastically at a new strategy, only to go straight back to doing things exactly as they did before?
We've seen it more times than we can count.
At The Brick Coach, we believe change sticks only when people have a hand in shaping it.
That's why our experiences bring people together to tackle real challenges, challenge assumptions and co-create better ways of working. Through hands-on activities and honest conversations, we help teams build the understanding, ownership and confidence to make change happen, and make it stick in the long run.

Our facilitators bring years of experience in corporate strategy, leadership, innovation and organisational transformation.
We’ve all done the work we help you embed in your team. We’ve led teams through change, we’ve turned performance around, and we’ve redesigned more ways of working, propositions and strategies than we can count.
We've worked inside complex organisations, so we understand the pressures, politics and practical realities your people are navigating. -
Our signature experiences give us a tried and tested starting point, but no two teams face exactly the same challenges.
We take the time to understand your context and adapt the experience so the learning feels relevant from the first minute.The result?
People leave with fresh perspectives, stronger connections and practical things they can put to work straight away in their own context. -
We all come from commercial backgrounds. We’ve led teams, sold work, tracked countless KPIs, reported on performance and had to justify extra spend.
We don't believe in learning for learning's sake.
Every experience is designed around a real business challenge, whether that's lost productivity, missed opportunities, slow decisions or teams struggling to deliver.We want people to leave feeling energised and empowered, absolutely. But we also want to see that translate into better decisions, stronger performance and meaningful progress for the business.
Some questions you might have
-
We're a boutique training consultancy specialising in change and innovation. We design and deliver experiential leadership development programmes, team development workshops and innovation experiences that help people work better together, navigate change and turn ambitious ideas into action.
Our work combines practical learning with real business challenges, so your people develop new capabilities while making progress on the things that matter to your organisation.
-
Experiential learning is about learning through doing, rather than sitting through presentations and hoping something sticks.
Our workshops use hands-on challenges, simulations, creative problem-solving and facilitated conversations to help people experience new ways of thinking and working. Participants reflect on what happens, connect it to their everyday challenges and decide what they'll do differently.
It's practical, engaging and designed to create more impactful and sustainable change.
-
Absolutely. Our Catalyst experience is designed for teams that need to reconnect, get aligned and work more effectively together.
Whether you're bringing together a newly formed team, navigating a restructure or looking to reset how your people collaborate, we'll help you turn your away day into something that makes a difference long after everyone returns to their desks.
-
Yes. Our Changemaker programme helps new and experienced managers build the confidence and capabilities to lead through uncertainty and change.
Through seven interactive sessions, leaders explore five essential behaviours: Connection, Clarity, Curiosity, Courage and Celebration. They'll put what they learn into practice with their own teams, so development happens alongside their day-to-day work.
-

-
Our three signature experiences provide a proven starting point, but we know every organisation has its own challenges, culture and priorities.
We'll take the time to understand what you're trying to achieve and adapt the activities, examples and focus accordingly. For challenges that fall outside our existing experiences, we can also explore a more tailored engagement.
-
All three. We're based in the UK and work with organisations across different locations and time zones. We have delivered work across Europe, the Middle East, the USA, Latin America and more.
Depending on the experience, we can deliver in person, virtually or through a combination of both. We'll recommend the format that best supports your objectives, participants and practical constraints.
-
Absolutely. We offer train-the-trainer programmes that equip internal facilitators, HR and L&D teams, and change practitioners to design and deliver engaging, experiential workshops themselves.
From facilitation skills to methods like LEGO® Serious Play®, we help your people build the confidence and practical skills to bring teams together, tackle challenges and lead change from within.
-
We've worked with organisations across financial services, insurance, technology, retail, media, real estate and professional services, from global corporations to smaller, fast-growing businesses.
We're particularly experienced in complex organisations where competing priorities, established ways of working and multiple stakeholders can make change difficult.
Our methods work across industries because they're grounded in how people think, collaborate and respond to change, while our experiences are adapted to the realities of your business.
