How we can help

We provide three integrated services, designed to operate independently or in combination:

Global Strategic Advisory

We support strategic advisory firms by producing high-stakes verbal and written briefings and advice for government ministers, boards, and C-suite – under time pressure and uncertainty. Our analysis spans geopolitical and reputational risk across the UK, Middle East, Africa, and Asia, giving leaders the clarity they need to act with confidence. We can:

• support your team with rigorous analytical judgement and compelling, narrative-driven advice
• engage with your clients on a depth and breadth of topics
• translate complex geopolitical and regulatory matters into clear, decision-ready insight for commercial and policy decisions, and
• help you and your firm to build trust with government clients, by providing the deep, hands-on national security and critical infrastructure expertise – and the professional gravitas – that makes your advice credible and your relationships stronger.

Executive Coaching

We offer 1:1 coaching for senior leaders – particularly those who are juggling the pressure of being at the top, with fewer peers, less candid feedback, and less time for the kind of reflection that good decision-making requires. We help leaders needing to act decisively on incomplete information – amidst geopolitical volatility, regulatory flux, and reputational risk – and without an independent sounding board. Our approach is designed for people who want to develop the binocular vision that’s required to successfully navigate the threats and opportunities on the horizon. Athene executive coaching can empower you to:

• understand your leadership strengths, priorities and blind-spots, so you can build on solid foundations
• enhance your strengths and establish the most effective leadership habits, to reach your full potential
• identify what motivates your team-members, so you can optimise how you lead and build on their talents
• optimise your work relationships with colleagues with diverse personalities and perspectives – including those who think and act differently from you
• expand your leadership impact so you can succeed in different situations and contexts, and
• engage your team to achieve your desired outcomes.

Leadership Team Development

We facilitate leadership team training and development. We support leadership teams facing challenging dynamics such as misaligned priorities and the cumulative toll of sustained high performance. We can help your team to:

• draw on different leadership zones
• communicate
• manage relationships
• engage stakeholders
• deliver feedback constructively, and
• build resilience

… amidst volatility and complexity – and ultimately to optimise your leadership team’s impact.
