“The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy.”

What is the Collective trying to do?
We hope to act as disruptors in the field of consulting by creating spaces for all to Thrive, Bloom and Celebrate! We define disruption as a focus of our work that is not specific to cost cutting, numbers, lay-offs and restructuring. Our approach to our work is guided by systemic principles and the use of workforce and healthcare models from across the globe. In our initial consultations with you, we will explore what partnership you hope to create with us and your priorities for this work. We will also share details of some of the models we might consider based on this and your hope for the future.
What is ‘Thrive’?
Thrive has been set up to create working environments where everyone can flourish.
Through Thrive, we offer workforce development consultation and expertise in the areas of recruitment, retention, training (limited), wellbeing, engagement and organisational culture.
What is ‘Bloom’?
Bloom has been set up to offer a shift in public health planning and policy that allows for the creation of psychologically caring spaces so everyone can prosper.
Bloom offers specialist mental healthcare consultation for service development, planning and delivery across the lifespan and covering primary, secondary and inpatient settings, in accordance with national policy, transformation programmes and quality recommendations.
What is ‘Celebrate’?
Celebrate has been set up with a specific focus on staff engagement and staff experience in organizations.
Through Celebrate we offer bespoke consultation around staff appreciation initiatives, specifically for events and programmes through which this might be conveyed.
Our Approach
Global partnerships are crucial to creating psychologically responsive systems for people to thrive and bloom in, particularly in delivering healthcare across the lifespan. Great creativity and innovation are possible in this space if we can reconsider and rethink traditional roles at the workplace and in healthcare systems.
Our Commitment to you
Our commitment to you in our working alliance will be guided by our principle and values. We will work transparently and authentically, helping you diagnose what you might be facing, supporting you in identifying priorities and creating delivery plans in partnership with you and your people that would be updated through an iterative process. We call it the 4 D’s – Discover, Design, Deliver, Demonstrate.
We hope that our joint alliance with you as leaders, visionaries, pioneers at the forefront of this change, driving it forward will lead us all into a future that holds space to contain polarities with kindness.
What this means for our approach to our work?
We hope to embark on this journey with you, where we bring our expertise and experience, lived and professional, and you bring your expertise, knowledge, history and context of your services, your workplaces, and your people to form this ‘collective’ that can be at the forefront of creating the future that you envision for your organisation, your services and your people.
This means that we will approach our partnership with you and the work we do together through a ‘Relational lens’ and using systemic perspectives. We will be guided by theory and evidence-based practice, and this will be referenced throughout the course of our collaboration with you. We will spend some time in our initial consultation meeting discussing this approach and relevant models with you before we progress to a longer-term working relationship.
Our Partnership With You
We expect the work we undertake together to require varying degrees of support over the course of its initiation and development so, we hope to form an alliance as your equal partners through challenges and successes that will pave a path towards embedding your achievements with our on-going support. Our areas of expertise are often complex to work with and shift. We recognise this and we both come with an in-depth understanding of creating spaces in such systems that move us all towards the future you have envisioned.
