Leadership development that’s brilliant, bold and beautifully human.

We work with leaders brave enough to be honest, smart enough to listen, and human enough to change.

Having the conversations that matter:

Feedback · Change · Performance · Allyship · Emotional Intelligence

We’ve raised the vibe with many organisations, including...

What we do

We’re culture consultants, supporting and challenging leaders and managers at all levels to have the conversations that matter.

Specialising in conversations around change, performance, feedback and allyship, as well as delivering leadership development to enable emotional intelligence.

We dig deep into psychological safety and social pain to uncover what might be stopping your organisation deliver effective change, performance, feedback and allyship. If the leaders in your organisation don’t have the conversations that matter it will have a significant negative impact on your organisational results. By bringing focus to both organisational goals and human needs you will enable a high performing culture.

Change

Impacting change at an individual level to enable collective change.

The question we are asked: ‘How do you make change happen in the workplace?’

You won’t, unless you have conversations at an individual level to unlock any personal barriers to change using our coaching through change framework.

Performance

Ongoing performance management, not just when there is under-performance.

The question we are asked: ‘How do you manage poor performance effectively?’

The emphasis must be on proactive ongoing conversations around role purpose as well as BOTH on-track and off-track focus, to mitigate having to manage poor performance.

Feedback

Learning how to receive feedback, to enable feedback to be given.

The question we are asked: ‘How do you give negative feedback to someone at work without upsetting or offending them?’

You can’t control (or know) how anyone will respond to your feedback, so learning how to receive it, as well as gaining insight into our reactions to it, is the first step.

Allyship

Supporting and challenging the majority to be allies, so that those who are marginalised feel like they truly belong.

The question we are asked: ‘How do you promote equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace?’

By working towards all of these because YOU want to, not because you think you should, not because your organisation is telling you to or not because you think you are helping someone from the minority.

Emotional Intelligence

Every leader must have emotional intelligence first and foremost.

The question we are asked: ‘How do you lead with emotional intelligence?’

By supporting and challenging your leaders to raise their self-awareness, and holding them accountable.

How We Do It

We support and challenge our clients to embed their culture via learning and development solutions.

Work with Rising Vibe to transform to a conversation culture so that your people feel SAFE. When people feel safe they’re open and honest. They have the conversations that matter. They say how they’re really feeling and share what they need. They feel valued and connected with their colleagues and the organisation. They’re more motivated. More energised. And performance is better. A lot better. People resist less and engage more. Change happens. The desired results are achieved.

Who We Work with

What they say about Rising Vibe.

We’ve raised the vibe with these organisations. Let us do the same for you.

We have worked with Rising Vibe to help build an inclusive culture at TACT. The facilitation is energetic, engaging, practical and honest in the delivery, and generates high levels of engagement. Highly recommend Rising Vibe for their application of transformational conversations and simple but effective tools created to have maximum impact.

Daniella Jackson, Director of People

TACT, FCIPD

Lou and the team at Rising Vibe have been supporting us from the beginning of the year on our team development journey. Lou is extremely experienced and knowledgeable, her approach is open, honest & fun, and she has given us great advice & support.

Helen Beebe, Managing Director

AJ Products (UK) Ltd

From the moment I contacted Lou, her enthusiasm and her openness to offering a session tailored to our needs inspired my confidence. The session she delivered did exactly what we had agreed. Her session was the first in the programme, and she successfully hooked the delegates into the subject of social pain. With her mixture of warmth, compassion and honesty, she assured the participants that talking about uncomfortable subjects is not only possible but necessary if we are all to achieve our potential. Post-event feedback showed that Lou’s approach assisted delegates in thinking differently about inclusion, a topic many had prejudged as not being relevant to them.

Natalie Dawson, Crown Prosecutor

What an eye-opening experience with the Rising Vibe Team. Thought provoking, challenging and a hugely enjoyable time spent learning about how to facilitate and help create the environment and opportunities within Almac Group to have the ‘Conversations That Matter’. Massively looking forward to bringing this to our business.

Bryan Pentland, Human Resource Development Partner

Working with Rising Vibe has been an absolute pleasure. Their natural expertise in culture consulting has helped Finura to foster a more positive and collaborative work environment; improving team morale, reducing stress levels and boosting productivity. Lou and the RV team of experts are authentic, knowledgeable and professional, and always available to provide guidance and support.

Louise Fish, Operations Director

Finura

The Rising Vibe programme has provided the time, space, structure and connection to create better, more self-aware, leaders. Much of what I’ve learned on this programme was applicable to life as much as it was to work. I think that is a core ingredient of creating better leaders. All delivered with high energy and really practical application! I’ve really enjoyed it and hope others get to experience the same.

Amz Rashid, Managing Director

Babcock International Group (Space)

Rising Vibe never fail to challenge your thinking for the better. They are straightforward, down to earth, and grounded in science/research which brings credibility to every interaction – and importantly, it gets results. Their ability to understand both human behaviour at a deep level and macro organisational cultures means they can quickly get to the heart of the challenges and opportunities that exist, and drive those real conversations to move things forward. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Becky Craig, Head of Global Learning and Development

Costa Coffee

I can’t recommend the Rising Vibe team enough. They are brilliant at tailoring support to fit the exact needs and culture of your organisation, so it’s truly bespoke and will drive the exact outcome you need. Lou has a lovely down to earth manner and is brilliant at engaging a room, so everyone feels part of the change/initiative. This ensures that everyone in a company as one team are driving the work. All training events they run are really interactive and a joy to be part of.

Lynsey Tate, HR Director

The feedback doesn’t lie! The Rising Vibe Conversations That Matter programme was an event our leaders thoroughly enjoyed! In understanding yourself better, Lou, a knowledgeable, energetic, honest presenter, then takes you on a journey that reforms the way you will go about having transformational conversations. So many tools and techniques to enable you to put into practice what you have learned from the off!

Rising Vibe have been brilliant in coaching our management team. They are very supportive but keep it real. They are honest and do not shy away from saying the reality and pointing that out. They have helped our team through the most difficult times and did not leave an issue unresolved. The Rising Vibrational Scale is now a staple in our company and we use it constantly in team meetings. I highly recommend reaching out to Rising Vibe for anyone who would like to upgrade their leadership behaviour to the next level.

Amira Kaadan, Head of HR

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rising Vibe for many years. We were first introduced in my role as UK Sales Director at Abbott Laboratories. Rising Vibe worked with myself and the Abbott team to design and deliver a number of key programs from Collaborative Leadership, High Performing Teams to individual performance coaching. Impact was significant and career defining for some, shifting from performance management to top performers. Highly recommended.

Stuart Shotton, Principal Consultant

I’ve worked with Rising Vibe for about 8 years in different capacities, on both an individual and team basis. They bring an absolutely unique set of skills to the culture space, and the team are able to make real change happen fast.

Working with Rising Vibe has been a gamechanger for our team. We have moved beyond surfacelevel conversations and really understand how our behaviours, beliefs, and fears were shaping the way we worked together. With Rising Vibe creating a safe space for honest conversations, we’ve emerged with stronger relationships, clearer communication, and a renewed sense of shared purpose.

Rachael Ives, CEO

The past nine months with Rising Vibe have been really valuable. I feel like I’ve come away with practical tools and techniques for more productive conversations and a greater sense of self-awareness and confidence. The cohort team discussions, perspectives and differences in opinion, has helped to broaden my viewpoint and push me out of my comfort zone which I’m sure will help me become a better leader.
