  • Lighten up is a great way to be connected to like-minded professionals who are committed to their own growth whilst supporting others to do the same. I find the insights, reflection, and support from the other members extremely valuable.”

    Jeanette – Change Management Coach & Consultant

  • “Curated with the right mix of leaders, from diverse backgrounds, Lighten Up provides a safe space to step back and reflect on the bigger picture. Learn from those who’ve been there before, impart your own knowledge, challenge your own thinking, or simply ask for help.”

    David – Managing Partner

  • “Lighten Up is a place to come to talk about deeper stuff. Although we focus on our businesses, there’s also a great focus on who we are, and how we are dealing with the challenges and opportunities – and that makes a massive difference for all of us."

    Owen - Executive Coach

  • “Lighten Up has allowed me to elevate myself outside of my business and look at it from an entirely different point of view. The openness of the groups’ members makes for insightful conversation and problem-solving. It really does have the potential to change how you do business for the better.”
