Where it's safe to tell the truth.
Real growth only happens when it's safe to be honest about what's hard. Kristyn works with the unspoken dynamics in a group (what everyone feels but nobody says) and connects with everyone, from frontline crews to executives and academics. No theory nobody can use.
No performing.
Just honesty & growth.

Our founder and senior consultants have sat in your chair
Kristyn Haywood was a HR Director, has coached ASX 300 executives and trained thousands of leaders over more than 20 years, so you won't spend hours explaining the issues, the politics or the pressure you're under. Kristyn and the PFS consultants get it, usually in the first conversation.
We get to the bottom of things quickly
From straightforward diagnosis to complex people, culture, leadership and conflict situations, we cut through the noise to find the pattern that's really driving the problem. Because people feel safe to speak honestly in our sessions, we can often give you an accurate, confidential read on your culture straight after a program, without weeks of interviews.
We adapt the message to every audience
The same message about leadership lands differently with a CEO, an executive team and a group of team leaders. We dial up the strategic language for senior leaders and make it practical for frontline leaders —
with the diplomacy to bring everyone with us. Learning and transformation is the goal.
Built around your real issues.
Leadership programs designed for your situation

Because people feel safe to talk
honestly in our programs, we come out of the room with an accurate picture of your culture. You get a confidential culture assessment straight after the training. Individuals are never identified; patterns of behaviour are. This gives HR useful information from an expert to inform future programs.

Leadership transformation begins with the leader. We build self-

Every group has things it can't talk
about. We create the safety for those issues to surface, and handle them with skill so the tension goes down, not up. Groups unite, and leaders get the space and time to reflect upon their people skills and team culture.
