An insight into our WHY....

There is a beautiful notion in Buddhism that if something generates fear in you (a demon) you must shine a light into the darkness to see it face to face. We humans jump at shadows and then realise that turning the light on makes the shadows disappear.

Start Close In is a community of practice of highly experienced consultants with decades of experience in working with organisations - helping them face into and solve the challenges that naturally arise with people working towards a goal.

We work with leadership teams, individuals and whole organisations to improve the way work gets done and the health of the work culture.

We have a simple approach based on the fact that a more human workplace means work gets done more easily. Our focus is on three things: Connection. Agency. Energy.

Something that has always bothered us is that using consultants has always come with a hefty price tag - something that community groups, not for profit and small business couldn't dream of affording.

So we have decided to start a dedicated stream of work specifically for that group. If you operate in that area - community group, school, charity or small business and you have challenges with teams, strategy, direction or culture then we would love to chat.

You will get world class consulting at a fraction of the cost.
