Our services

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

Global Strategic Advisory

We advise governments and businesses on national security and strategic risk – drawing on hands-on expertise in homeland security, counter-terrorism, defence, critical infrastructure resilience, and geopolitics, across the UK, Middle East and North Africa.

And we support companies as they scale – especially companies that are working with government – giving them the guidance and building blocks they need, to succeed.

We can:

• support your team with rigorous analytical judgement and compelling, narrative-driven advice
• translate complex geopolitical, strategic and operational risks into clear, decision-ready insight for commercial and policy decisions
• engage on a depth and breadth of topics, and
• provide the deep, hands-on expertise to give you the clarity you need to act with confidence.

Leadership Development

We facilitate leadership development. We help organisational leaders to lead under pressure, and to build their organisations’ capability to operate well under pressure. We can help your team to:

• draw on different leadership mindsets
• manage difficult relationships
• build resilience
• manage internal and external pressure

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

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 turbulence, 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.
