Bespoke thinking experiences for leaders and teams in amazing Scottish spaces!

Fed up with the flat spaces and flat conversations of corporate life, we created The Fresh Air Leadership Company to breathe fresh air into the way leaders and teams think and act. To help them figure out who they are and what it is to lead well in their worlds.

Specifically we help leaders and teams with issues around self-awareness, trust, and mindset that are getting in the way of the courageous conversations, collaboration, and bold thinking needed to nail operational challenges and give legs to strategic ambitions.

Ultimately we enable better decision making, better engagement, and better organisational outcomes.

Our approach is a little unconventional. Inquiry-based, no-bullshit thinking and development programmes in amazing Scottish spaces. And experienced coach-facilitators with backgrounds as murder detectives, improvisation performers, hospital consultants, Everest summiteers, special forces, search and rescue helicopter pilots, film makers and more.

This powerful combination of people, process, and place unforgettably shifts minds, lifts hearts and stirs souls. We promise that our work together will be caring, challenging, and creatively unforgettable.
