About

“Environment” is defined as “the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates”. Mind Environment takes this definition and applies it to the whole rational and emotional landscape we operate in. 

‘Whole Environment’ thinking sees and works with the rational and emotional forces informing any situation.

Individuals, leaders and teams who employ this ‘Whole Environment’ thinking are more effective and make better long-term choices.

Our approach

Using our experience in psychology and leadership development, systems dynamics and narrative theory, we take individuals, leaders and teams through an immersive process, identifying the key influences that shape their situation.

By stepping back and seeing the ‘Whole Environment’, leaders and teams discover through experience more than they know in theory.

We then work productively with obstacles and unlock opportunities.

The Mind, Creativity and Change: What Business Leaders Need to Know About the Secret Life of Emotions

Organisations large and small are grappling with transformation. This change is either self-imposed or the product of disruption. At the centre of these storms are people, not technologies. How they respond and flourish will determine the nature of success.

In a series of 4 clips, Tom Cotton, Mind Environment Founder and Programme Director and Ian Bates, Firehaus Co-Founder and Creative Director share their thoughts for business leaders navigating change. They discuss how organisations can create a culture of creativity, innovation and growth by harnessing both rational and emotional behaviour.

Insights

Testimonials

“The programme was a great opportunity for our Client Leadership Team to work in depth with corporate engagement during this time of remote working. Mind Environment’s expert facilitation and innovative approach lifted the team out of the operational day to day, helped them dive deep into the unseen forces driving engagement in our organisation, work on their collective identity, and develop their own innovative solutions to current challenges. This work is going to lead to some positive changes in the business.”
Chris BathManaging Director, Aurora Communications
“Really enjoyed the session. Trusted environment, carefully guided, interesting debate and some heartfelt vulnerability. This is something I believe is of immense values to leaders.”
Adam RubinsFounder, the arc & former CEO, Way To Blue
“I really loved it – it felt like a fitness session for the brain! I’m completely ‘over’ many of our industry navel gazing zoom calls, but Mind Environment always help us take a completely organic path and discuss subjects that transcend the more mundane topics we tend to discuss on other forums. Always come away feeling energised and brain exercised!”
Ruth KieranCEO Cirkle
“After completing the programme, my purpose as an individual and leader feels clearer and more focussed. Without a shadow of doubt, it’s been an unbelievable process and path.”
Chris TuiteDirector & Head of Consumer Finance
“I really enjoy listening to the diversity of views and thinking. I learn something new each time. Thank you!”
Liz NottinghamHR consultant & former Executive HR Director at R/GA
“Smart grownups prepared to be open and honest. Really useful. There are relatively few opportunities to be as candid in an open environment. This forum is different as there isn’t a short-term goal attached to it. It feels like a space where relative strangers might grow at a pace that suits them.”
Ian BatesFounder & Creative Partner, Firehaus
“The people in the group are truly caring and giving, and they come from heart. The conversation was genuine and profound.”
Rakesh BhargavManaging Partner, MangoTree Real Estate Holdings & Opportunity Zone RE
“I guess these kinds of conversations are taking place in other forums but I’m not aware of them. The diverse viewpoints are really useful for me. They help galvanise my thinking, give me a dose of reassurance, and a burst of energy. I came away buzzing with thoughts. All from a 90 min zoom session – great work!”
Sandy PurewalFounder & CEO Superfied, Founder and ex-Chair Octopus Marketing Group
“Well moderated, insightful, broad scope with a narrow focus, useful insights, good feeling and safe space. A good diverse crew. A great Captain. Moreover, it was fun, entertaining and provocative. Well done!”
