Our offerings

At FirstHuman, we partner with you to create Potent Environments where new things are possible. It’s an environment where you build deep relationships, hold powerful conversations and accomplish ambitious missions.

Leading Extraordinary Performance (LEP) Programme

Our Leading Extraordinary Performance (LEP) Programme enables your people to create environments in which they equip others around them to achieve extraordinary results. They learn how to expand their view of what’s possible, to motivate and inspire their teams. They learn to confidently deal with uncertainty, resolve problems and hold people accountable. They build committed leaders and powerful communities.

Performance
Interventions

Our Performance Interventions help your organisation break away from current constraints, align around a purpose and goals and powerfully engage and mobilise others to create the commitment, creativity and accountability they need to deliver breakthrough results. You have our promise that through this process, we will leave you with a legacy of high-performing leaders equipped to take on a new level of challenges.

Cultural
Transformation

We create highly agile ‘human-first’ cultures where people are free to bring all of themselves to work. Our approach uniquely blends equipping your people with key leadership skills, whilst taking a data-led view of your organisation as a complex system. We help you get clear on the tensions within the system as it is today, while emboldening your people to take the actions needed to evolve how you work.

Our clients

Our team

We don’t work with a conventional management consultancy playbook; you won’t find blueprints, best practices or peer-group comparisons. Instead, with business and HR leaders, we co-create bespoke performance interventions, cultural transformations and leadership development programmes that deliver extraordinary results.
