Building resilience for uncertain times.

Tailored interventions to develop and maintain physical and mental resilience — for leaders and teams operating under sustained pressure.

The cost of delivering change in an uncertain world.

We live in challenging times. The delivery of change initiatives within an uncertain world creates a significant strain on personal and team resilience.

Over the past 10 years, our coaching team has observed a significant increase in the damage these environments can do to personal resilience, wellbeing and performance.

In response, we provide a suite of interventions to develop and maintain physical and mental resilience — enabling clients to better face the challenges and set-backs that leaders and teams encounter during delivery.

Confidential support with a qualified coach, focused on personal resilience, energy management and recovery from set-backs.

02
Team resilience events

Group interventions designed to build psychological safety, surface team-level stressors, and develop shared coping strategies.

03
Functional health coaching

Susanne Erricker, our in-house functional health practitioner, works with clients to uncover root causes of chronic issues — going beyond traditional coaching.

The five factors behind chronic stress.

Resolving the underlying lifestyle habits that drive chronic issues can generate breakthroughs in overall wellbeing — enhancing performance, employee fulfilment, and reducing absenteeism.

What KAI shows

  • 01

    Stress — chronic load and the body's response to it

  • 02

    Sleep — quantity, quality, recovery and routine

  • 03

    Nutrition — fuel, blood sugar and metabolic health

  • 04

    Exercise — movement, strength and capacity

  • 05

    Toxin overload —  dietary inputs that drain capacity

Coaching that goes beyond the conversation.

"Genuinely transformational. I may have walked away from the opportunity of a senior role thinking I was not capable. I may also have seen myself signed off with stress again in a matter of months without the coaching tools and techniques I have gained."
