Transforming teams

Unlocking human potential

PEAK PERFORMANCE THROUGH THOUGHT-PROVOKING AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING AND COACHING THAT IS OUT OF THIS WORLD.

Using principles from Human Factors (HF), High-Reliability Organisations (HRO), and Human and Organisational Performance (HOP), we develop and deliver highly immersive and impactful programmes using the High-Velocity Learning LAB (HVLL) concept.

We give you the know-how, the tools and the support to make results stick and empower your people to achieve the extraordinary.

Keynote Speaker

"The best inspirational speaker I've seen."

Gareth has decades of operational experience in multiple high-risk domains, covering roles from front-line operational and instructional activities to strategic decision maker in the RAF to deep wreck SCUBA diver to external consultant. He has also completed two MSc degrees: aerospace systems (Kingston), and HF and System Safety (Lund). This gives him a unique perspective to inspire and inform your teams about risk, safety, human and organisational performance, and just culture. Inspiration and action that goes beyond a keynote.

High-Velocity Learning LAB

Rapid iterations of sensemaking, planning, briefing, executing, reflecting, and narrating (SPBERN) in a psychologically safe environment where you and your teams unlock your potential to be a resilient and reflective organisation.

Coaching Support

Coaching can help you identify a direction and a potential path, and keep you accountable to the goals you've set. Coaching applies to both Interpersonal Skills/NTS/CRM and HOP, which is why it's in the middle of this framework!

Mission Control: High-Velocity Learning Academy

Experiences are not enough. They get you interested, fired up, and ready to take action. But what do you refer to afterwards? Where are the notes you made during the class? Mission control is your central library of resources covering videos, papers, summaries, articles, and checklists/guides, along with practical tools like 'HOP in a Box' and 'Curiosity in a Small Box'.

Every course gives you access to online mission control. This is our way of helping you on every journey you take. The practical tools will be available for purchase for individuals and organisations.

Add yourself to the waitlist to be part of the Academy.

Interstellar Missions

Take your organisational learning and change to the next level with programmes lasting 3-12 months, providing inspiration, tools, and techniques for teams and their members to take immediate action. This is not a 'sheep dip' approach.

BUILDING TEAMS FOR THE FUTURE OF WORK

You are the expert in your field, and we are merely there to set you on a course of self-creation and self-discovery. Here you can see what others have found out about themselves, their teams, and their organisations when they've worked with us

Jayson Coil, Assistant Fire Chief

"I cannot recommend this program highly enough. Gareth Lock possesses a profound understanding of interpersonal dynamics and human factors and expertly facilitated our sessions, ensuring that each participant could fully engage and benefit from the training.As someone with extensive experience in emergency response and organizational leadership, I have participated in numerous training programs, but this one stands out for its depth, effectiveness, the ability for participants to clearly see how they can improve."

Kimberley Bartholomew, Producer

"The course not only gave me some tools to help with current weaknesses / insecurities in the area of leadership and teamwork, but it also pointed out things that I didn’t realise needed work! The course is very introspective - be prepared to feel utterly unravelled but unconditionally supported at the same time! I particularly appreciated the theoretical chapters of the course - learning the basics of usually intangible skills such as communication and awareness and the practical tools that can genuinely help us to improve them and put better systems in place at work."

Mark James, Anaesthetist

"I asked for awareness around my personal blindspots, I gained much more. Through story telling which exposed vulnerabilities and integrative team work in association with structured debriefings, we were transformed from individuals and sub teams into a functional unit. Gareth is a knowledgeable educator who, by virtue of education and experience, facilitates "safe space" in-class learning with adequate time for reflection. The post-course support is invaluable to promote assimilation of the lessons learned and to aid in behaviour shifting to an enduring permanence. Most highly recommended!"
