Our Services

Vicissitude is a small, dedicated consultancy that uses a strong evidence-base to craft practical solutions for each of our clients. We believe in providing consultancy solutions that are built specifically for each client and their own specific needs and contexts.

As our name implies, we are here to partner with you through all the changes in circumstances and fortune that work and life bring. We bring a positive focus on your future and the behavioural adjustments that will position you to respond positively to change. Do you currently get the consultancy services that you need or just the services that you can get?

Vicissitude is different from other consultancies in that we offer personalised, ongoing, high-quality, flexible services with individuals, teams and organisations of all sizes. We believe you deserve more than a one-size-fits-all approach and the true advantage of working with us is that our solutions are as individual as you and your particular circumstances.

As a demonstration of our commitment to providing customer-focused service, we offer a free initial consultation to establish your needs and to discuss possible solutions. If there is something we can assist you with, we will provide you with a clear path forward to enable you to make fully informed decisions about your future.

Some of the services that we have provided in the past to help individuals and organisations change for the better…

“When people hear ‘flourishing,’ they think of appreciation and good feelings. But growth and development does not always equal ‘feeling good’…We don’t define flourishing by sitting-around-the-campfire moments. We ask people to do seemingly impossible things.”

- Robert Kegan

Our Services

  • Whether this is online or in-person, we like to develop sessions that provide a balance between exploring theoretical content and interactive activities.

  • We offer bespoke solutions to your leadership development program that explore evidence-based theories with practical applications to your workplace context.

  • Change is part of life and work, which means everyone will go through different transition points but your approach to this change that can shape these experiences.

  • At different points in time, different aspects of an organisation may require attention. Organisational reviews can provide the opportunity for us to ‘zoom out’ and see how each piece comes together before focusing attention into different domains of the workplace.

  • We understand the ripple effect individuals can have within an organisation, so our coaching approach provides scaffolded learning opportunities for coachees across various domains.
