Change the changemakers, change the world
At 16° we coach changemakers & teams to lead the way to fairer and sustainable futures.
Coaching for Changemakers
What would be possible if you transformed your leadership skills and fearlessly aligned to your mission? Our coaching harnesses your strengths and enables you to get out of your own way. You will leave feeling empowered, energised, better able to navigate complexity and increasingly capable to create the impact the world needs. Read case studies.
Co-Coaching for Teams
What could be within reach if your team was fully aligned to its purpose, and able to communicate and collaborate in ways that lead to systemic impact? We work with leadership teams looking to supercharge how they work together, positively impact the culture around them and curious to harness their collective capabilities. Our game-changing co-coaching sessions leave teams equipped with critical skills for exceptional performance. Read case studies.
Curated Networks
How would you feel if you stood together amongst a group of trusted peers, each bringing their collective wisdom and knowledge to the knotty, complex challenges you face. We create and facilitate peer networks of leaders like you. These impactful sessions bring together groups of three to four peers each month where they share and address challenges, insights and approaches to accelerate their personal and organisational impact. Read case studies.
Courses
We design and delivers compelling courses and learning experiences that support individual, group and organisational development. From our packaged Working Smarter and Ready to Lead programmes being delivered across the UN and Thomson Reuters to our fully bespoke courses such as the Holding Courageous Conversations Programme designed for Luminate. Our courses are highly interactive, impactful and create long lasting and meaningful change. Read case studies.
