About Us

Switch On Leadership is a global boutique leadership consultancy specializing in transformational, adaptive, creative, wise, and human-centric leadership, innovation, and teamwork.

Our purpose is to transform leaders, teams, and organizations to forge a flourishing future for all life on our planet—in our era of ruthless change, radical complexity, endless crisis, and unprecedented opportunity.

We evolved from the fusion of a breakthrough innovation and systemic change agency with a deep human development and wisdom enterprise. All our work is  focused on supporting the leadership of significant and sustainable change, innovation, and adaptation—so that teams and organizations flourish in today’s relentless uncertainty, chaos, and complexity.

We have designed and delivered over 100 strategic innovation programs and systemic change processes for Fortune 500 companies and major institutions. We have worked with over 100,000 leaders to develop future-fit and future-forging capabilities with our coherent and cohesive Self-to-System™ leadership curriculum and toolkits. We don’t do ‘training’. We do transformation!

For over 24 years we have developed game-changing solutions to the most intense and important challenges that leaders face, with restless innovation in the leadership space that are built upon our theory and practice-set for adaptive and transformational leadership Bio-Transformation®. Our methodology is powered by the latest brain, behavioral, and complexity science integrated with trauma-informed therapies and wisdom and practices from the contemplative and embodiment traditions.
