About Us
Who we are
The Authentic Organisation is a performance management consultancy. We are a diverse group of consultants, coaches and trainers who share two things in common - our mission for helping organisations and individuals to empower high performance, reduce stress and build resilience, and our passion for the HeartMath system. We all use HeartMath in our personal lives, as well as in our coaching and training. It's the special ingredient that enables us to be so good at what we do.
Why are we The Authentic Organisation? Because we're clear about who we are; we're clear about our values and what we stand for and we're clear about the impact we want to make. And of course we're genuine, trustworthy and there's no other consultancy quite like us!

What we do & How we do it
What we do
Broadly speaking we work to develop and embed high performance in organisations. The difference is that in addition to our skill, intuition and raft of effective theories, tools, models and approaches, we also use HeartMath. HeartMath is a unique system grounded in leading-edge science which utilises practical techniques, biofeedback technology and the combined intelligence of the human heart and mind. We use HeartMath to raise the efficiency, effectiveness and impact of our mix of consulting, coaching and training.
Our work empowers, educates, inspires, and stretches individuals, teams and organisations to create new understandings and higher levels of performance. What this means for our clients is:
• Improved employee job satisfaction and engagement
• Increased individual and organisational performance and productivity
• Reduced stress and burnout
• Improved employee wellbeing
• Reduced turnover
• Increased creativity and innovation
• Improved communication between staff and with customers
• Improved vision, strategy and organisational alignment
• Improved risk assessment
• Reduced health care costs
How we do it
We help leaders, teams and individuals to take responsibility for increasing their capacity to perform and manage the pressures and stresses of business and personal life. Individuals learn the HeartMath techniques and then use these to reduce stress, empower performance and build resilience to future challenges. This means that they become increasingly capable of, and committed to, delivering more value to their organisations and to the people they work with (and live with!).This is how people and organisations thrive!
Although people are at the heart of what we do, our approach is in fact holistic. We use an integrated model to manage performance transformation across:
• Systems and Processes
• Culture and Values
• Capabilities and Behaviours
• The thoughts and feelings of individuals.
This means that we understand your business inside out. It also means that you don't have to manage (or pay for) multiple consultancies. We know that our interventions always deliver a return on investment and our evaluation methodologies will help you to prove this.
