Laurence Cassøe Halsted is a two-time Olympic fencer for Great Britain and former High Performance Director for the Danish Fencing Federation. Through his experiences as an athlete and Performance Director, Laurence has seen that so many of the ways in which high performing athletes are trained to face their pressures and challenges with courage and integrity can be directly translated to other contexts with great effect.

​

Laurence’s approach combines performance psychology, values work, mindfulness, acceptance commitment training as well as practical and existential philosophies. Laurence is also an accredited Senior Practitioner and Coach Supervisor with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council.

​

Coming from the corporate and elite sports worlds, respectively, we discovered that our approaches to leadership and culture aligned so closely that we decided we should join forces in our mission to better support people and organizations in developing, growing, and succeeding in a holistic, compassionate way.

​

We have both seen first hand how a more compassionate performance culture can unleash the true potential of individuals and teams. And we know that the mindset and behaviour of each and everyone involved, and the culture that they continuously create together, are crucial.

​

Through our practical approach, individuals and teams learn how to balance high challenge with high support, equipping people with the tools, guidance, and leadership they need to excel at complex and demanding tasks while strengthening collaboration and trust.

 

We are always happy to meet online (or in-person if you happen to be in the Copenhagen area!), to just get to know each other and explore how we might be able to help you.
