Hello, nice to meet you

Founder Debbie Seunarayan

I stepped out of the corporate world and set up my business in the summer of 2008 (yep, literally just before the financial crisis hit). Since then, we've all navigated many context shattering, foundation shifting events - experiences that have changed my business, my life, and me. Embracing these changes (and the massive life lessons hidden within) are the very reason we survived, and thrived. ⁠ ⁠ I've spent the last decade or so working closely with 'pioneers with ideas' (as they launch and scale) and advising leaders of established organisations facing disruption (as they re-imagine and re-shape their organisations). I've walked alongside as they successfully (or less successfully) navigate complexity and ambiguity, face into disruption and create disruptive products and services. And I've been present in moments of great joy, discomfort, fear, and doubt. Over time I realised that there are common practices at play in the most successful (and in those that fail). ⁠In 2019, I wrote SHAPESHIFTER in an effort to capture the essence of those organisations and leaders that seem to make it look easy (spoiler- it's not easy). I want to help you to inject insight, clarity and energy into your organisation and to provide you with the tools to survive, strive and thrive as a leader no matter what's going on around you. And, perhaps most importantly, I want you to enjoy the journey. I believe we can achieve commercial and career success as we build soulful organisations, imaginative leaders, and magical lives!

SHAPESHIFTER

Embrace complexity and uncertainty

Organisations that make it big and survive the test of time are Shapeshifters. They generate a strategy supple enough to adapt to changing environments and they disrupt themselves and the world around them to bring about positive change. In a volatile world that is changing at an ever-accelerating rate, it's time our approach to strategy, innovation, and leadership changed too. Shapeshifter will help you to experiment with new ways of thinking, doing, and being that can better equip you and your organisation as you venture into the great unknown. Shapeshifter provides powerful tools and invites you to think beyond current paradigms.
