OUR APPROACH

Neuroscience

The study of neurological connections between the brain and behaviour

Neuroscience is at the heart of all the work that we do. We seek to discover the thoughts, perceptions, emotions, and motivations behind decisions and actions. We believe that by understanding the brain, leaders can develop a greater connection to how and why people act the way they do. We utilise in-depth neuroscience knowledge to create contemporary, evidence-based strategies and tools that shape productivity in individuals and teams.

Psychological Safety

A belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns or mistakes

Psychological safety is essential in workplaces that promote collaboration. It helps reduce uncertainty and is the foundation of effective leadership. Organisations that prioritise psychological safety will likely improve profitability, communication, error detection and wellbeing whilst simultaneously reducing incidents, distractions, turnover and absenteeism. By exploring working conditions through a neuroscience lens, we help leaders create and maintain productive and psychologically safe cultures where staff have the opportunity to grow and make valuable contributions.

Tailored Approach

Our tailored approach customises solutions to your organisation’s needs, driving success.

Our tailored approach focuses on customising solutions to meet the unique needs of both your organisation and its individuals. By thoroughly understanding your organisational goals, culture, and challenges, we design strategies that align with your objectives and enhance individual performance. This personalised approach ensures that both organisational initiatives and individual development are targeted, relevant, and impactful. We adapt our services to create meaningful, high-impact solutions that drive collective success, foster growth, and deliver lasting results for both teams and leaders.

OUR SERVICES

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS

The everchanging nature of the global workforce means that leaders of the 21st century particularly need guidance to implement strategic initiatives and drive the desired culture. This requires deliberate and intentional behaviours and processes.

The development of leaders is core work for organisations. As a result, Pentagram Potential creates programs that are fully customised to the organisation's strategic and operational needs. Development programs can be delivered in a single day or across 3, 6, 9 or 12 days. All Pentagram Potential facilitators are Organisational Development Consultants with expertise in both psychology and neuroscience. We use an experiential development approach which links thinking to doing at all levels.

Using a neuroscience approach of self, team, and organisation, we help leaders grow their emotional, social, and attentional intelligence so that they’re more effective in their role and have the tools to create high performing teams, wellbeing and engagement.

PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY ASSESSMENTS

Our PS25 cultural assessments evaluate psychological safety within your organisation and identify areas for improvement. We assist leaders in creating an environment of trust and openness where teams feel empowered to share ideas, take risks, and collaborate without fear of retribution or judgment. Working in conjunction with senior leaders, we advise on the systems, rituals and behaviours needed to develop and maintain a high-performance organisation. Leaders need to be deliberate and intentional in creating the desired culture. This cannot be done without first understanding what drives culture and how it is formed.

EXECUTIVE COACHING

Senior leaders live in an increasingly complex world. The informational overload and rapid pace of change of today means that the social skills required to communicate are more important than ever before. The conduct of senior leaders within an organisation is predictive of its success. Developing senior leaders through coaching is therefore paramount and will allow them to better fulfill the requirements of their role.

Leaders must develop social intelligence, emotional intelligence, and attentional intelligence if they wish to harness the collective intelligence of the organisation most effectively. It can be lonely at the top, so coaches play a critical role in supporting the mental wellbeing of senior leaders. Pentagram Potential coaches are highly skilled in neuroscience, strategy, and operations, allowing them to provide informed advice whilst developing the skillsets of executives. We use multiple evidence-based assessments to support our coaching: 360 Degree feedbacK, Strength assessmentS and EQ Assessments.

VISION & STRATEGIC PLANNING

It is the work of boards and executives to define strategy. Outlining a clear vision and direction provides certainty and autonomy to others within the organisation. The senior leaders are then entrusted to execute on that vision and strategy.

Strategic planning is not complex work, it is the execution which requires robust and productive social process to achieve the most effective outcomes. Pentagram Potential facilitators guide boards and executive teams through the process of establishing vision, strategic focus and determining business goals.

Whilst this work is multifaceted with many elements to be analysed, Pentagram Potential facilitators provide the framework necessary to navigate the complexity.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE ASSESSMENTS

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) assessments measure a leader’s ability to recognise, understand, and manage their emotions and those of others. High EQ is strongly correlated with effective leadership, as it influences how individuals navigate social complexities, make decisions, and inspire others. We strengthen leadership effectiveness by enhancing emotional awareness, empathy, communication, and conflict-resolution skills. By fostering these competencies, leaders are better equipped to build trust, motivate teams, and cultivate a positive organisational culture.

Psychometric assessments provide objective, data-driven insights into candidates' cognitive abilities, personality traits, and leadership potential. These tools offer a reliable foundation for evaluating suitability for specific roles, identifying developmental needs, and predicting future performance. Additionally, they support succession planning and help cultivate a high-performing, resilient leadership pipeline.

WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS

Our Women’s Leadership Programs focus on advancing women in leadership roles, empowering them to overcome challenges, enhance executive presence, and build confidence. By fostering diversity and inclusion, we help unlock the full potential of women leaders within the organisation.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION PROGRAMS

Our DEI neuro-leadership workshops provide evidence-based strategies grounded in neuroscience to create insight and awareness of beliefs, thinking and behaviours of our leaders, processes and structures. We focus on frontline leaders, diverse groups and senior leaders to effect cultural change.
