It takes more than intelligence to act intelligently

About us

In complex, high-stakes environments, intelligence alone isn’t enough. Leadership demands a delicate balance of self-mastery, emotional insight and strategic foresight. We work with leaders and their teams to build these capabilities, driving real change and lasting impact.

Our Approach

We address the root causes of personal and organisational challenges to drive meaningful shifts. Our approach is grounded in the latest research and best practice from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and organisational development.

Top-tier executive coaches and coaching psychologists well-versed in the complexities of operating at the highest level.
A bespoke approach informed by a deep understanding of organisational goals and challenges.
Confidential support and guidance that goes beyond the “typical” coaching experience. Trusted by top CEOs and captains of industry.
The antithesis to prescriptive, one-size-fits all interventions that have plagued coaching, L&D and leadership development for far too long.

Our impact

"After a 20+ year career as a CEO I didn’t think I had much to learn about my leadership style. Wrong. Through unpacking my words and actions with Roger, the business successfully turned around and the leadership team and I became the high-performing team we needed it to be."
Steve Hearn
CEO & Non-Executive Director in the Insurance industry
"Famn gives employees at all levels the flexibility to access coaching and make sure that at any time, they can respond to the volatility of the working environment."
Rich Coulson
Deputy Group CUO and CEO of Insurance, The Fidelis Partnership
"Famn provides coaching for each cohort of our Strategic Leadership Development Programme. This is ‘high profile’ within the C of E system. This work is complex, sensitive, personal, and political and obviously highly confidential. Famn are handling it all beautifully. I cannot recommend them highly enough."
Dr Susie Perks Baker
Head of Leadership Development, The Church of England
"Would definitely recommend. FamnFlex is useful for a host of reasons and sessions are readily available. Everyone could benefit from the support and guidance."
Anna Rover-Parks
People & Culture Partner - Commercial & Finance - Clear Channel
