We approach all our work consciously, guided by our values and using our imagination, creativity and insight to help you find the right way forward, whatever your situation or context.

Values

When we think about what we’re doing, we inevitably see things that need changing.

At the Conscious Project, we help you think about what you’re doing, whatever context you find yourself in and whatever constraints you face.

We come alongside you, listen to you, ask questions, facilitate thinking and support you through change.

We take pride in working with you to craft meaningful and sustainable solutions.

Our approach is underpinned by our four core values which guide and inform everything we do:

Generosity

We think generously, listen generously, and live generously. Whether leading, doing or facilitating, our work is rooted in appreciative inquiry and positive psychology; we believe people realize their potential when they are inspired to be all they can be. We encourage and nurture a growth mindset in one another, and those we work with.

Humility

We don’t put ourselves on a pedestal or come with one-size-fits-all shiny solutions! We are human, and when it comes to society, we are part of the problem as well as part of the solution. Our work is not about ‘us’ as experts, or reinforcing inequality or vested interest; rather, it is gently disruptive, and about the ‘collective us’ and a connected world. We each have a part to play and our approach and methods help unlock your own expertise, insight and experience, so that together we can craft the best possible outcomes.

Accompaniment

Our approach is to come alongside you, whether virtually or in person, and to join you on your journey. We will listen to your story, and by turn we will play the role of ‘critical friend’, encourager, coach and thinking partner. Our style of coaching is solutions focused, again, anchored in an appreciative approach that enables you to draw on your strengths and experience.

Stewardship

Our resources are often finite, and all the more so when it comes to time and money. We understand the pressure you and your organisation are under to deliver value for money and return on investment. Our role is to help you make the best use of your precious resources, and where you entrust some of them to us then we will ‘steward’ them with the utmost care: transparently and accountably.
 

Ethics

A social business is an ethical business…

As a social business, we re-invest our profit in the business to increase our capacity and impact. We pay our taxes in the UK where we are registered, or in the country they are due.

Each Director gives away more than 20 days every year, pro bono, to social causes, as well as committing to an ongoing programme of professional learning, development and research.

If you’d like to talk to us about how we can support your cause, then get in touch.

Our fees

Our fees are competitive – we do not claim to be the cheapest but we are certainly not the most expensive. Our fees enable us to make an honest living, be generous to those in need, and do our bit to bring about positive change.

When you engage a conscious project consultant you are investing in quality, and you get a bespoke service, tailored to your needs and available resources. If you’re not happy with what we’ve done, then talk to us and we’ll sort it out.
