Altris is all about releasing
potential within teams
and their leaders to
deliver sustainable results for organisations.
We specialise in Leadership Development
and Executive Coaching.
Whether we are delivering an executive coaching programme or a leadership development programme our approach is founded on scientific principles; the science of axiology.
Axiology expands our understanding of the way people make value choices on a day-to-day, moment-by-moment basis. At Altris, we use this understanding to define our programmes
by asking ourselves 'If that’s how people think, then coaching and leadership development should reflect that'.
Accelerating Coaching
Our ‘Accelerated Coaching’ programmes, so named because they do exactly that: accelerate coaching, have shown us that leaders are able to bring about significant personal
change, in their toughest personal challenges, because they are able to answer the question ‘why?’: why they think, feel and act the way they do.
Leadership Development
In our leadership development programmes, based on tried and tested change management principles, leaders are guided towards an increased awareness of their own natural
thinking biases and blind spots. With this awareness, they are able to develop a fully rounded approach to leadership instead of being driven by their innate thinking and behavioural styles. Our approach not only helps leaders to become aware of their blind-spots but gives them a set of guiding principles to support them in becoming better leaders through valuing people, systems, and tasks equally.
Everything we do is underpinned by our values:
Sustainability: From sustainable knowledge transfer to our approach to a neutral carbon footprint we believe in totally sustainable solutions in a sustainable world.
Partnership: We work with you to ensure that the solutions we deliver meet your specific needs and culture. To that end our leadership and team development programmes are always tailored.
We are partners of Leadership New Zealand and Women on Boards New Zealand. We also provide pro bono support to the Be Institute.
Spirited: We aim to deliver unique and energetic solutions that you won’t find anywhere else. We are not afraid to say what needs to be said in support of your goals.
Elegant: our approach is engaging, interesting and effective so that the programme we deliver for you is memorable, invigorating and impactful.

To be useful, return on investment is measurable. Whether it is an Altris Executive Coaching programme or an Altris Leadership Development programme, we pre-agree with you robust measures of success. Importantly, it doesn’t stop there. These measures are monitored and subsequently reported upon.
Our strapline ‘Releasing Potential’ is somewhat alchemic and magical. However intangible, we can and do measure it.
We work with our clients to co-create meaningful measures using the balanced lenses of Purpose, Process and People. By this we mean that we partner with our clients to identify measures around the intentions of the programme, the processes we will use, as well as the readiness of our participants to engage and the progress they make on their journeys. Because valuing the uniqueness of your people and your organisation underpins everything we do, the pre-agreed measures reflect this uniqueness.
Altris have a range of specialised Leadership Development and Executive Coaching solutions.
We believe that each leader, team and organisation
is unique and therefore the solutions we deliver
must be distinctive.
Many organisations strive to introduce a coaching culture because they believe (rightly, in our opinion) that a coaching culture is one way to gain a competitive advantage by harnessing the
inherent capability of the people in the organisation. Most have failed in doing so because what they rolled out was a standard training approach to culture change.
At Altris, we believe that the key is to treat the introduction of a coaching culture as a change programme built on solid principles from start to finish. Unlike other delivery models,
which are just training programmes, this approach will guarantee the best chance of long term success.
We believe that setting the coaching culture programme up well at the start creates the best opportunity for success so each of our programmes has a built in
'Blueprint' phase to initiate the journey and engage the organisation.
Our view is that an organisation cannot develop a coaching culture unless it first has a feedback culture. We have observed that training leaders in coaching before people have an ‘invitation
to coach’ does not deliver results and our programmes are therefore structured in stages so that feedback processes are embedded before coaching skills are introduced.
Once started, our philosophy is akin to that of a journey beginning with tools, techniques and models and a structured, systematic approach to coaching. As the coaching journey progresses, we use staged learning principles to challenge new coaches so that their thinking evolves and expands into a greater awareness of self and the attitudes required of an effective coach.
ALTRIS IS ALL ABOUT RELEASING POTENTIAL
We deliver coaching based programms for organisations, teams and leaders. Whilst we deliver a tailored approach to meet the unique needs of your business we have a number of key programmes that we build on.
“People fascinate me! We are all so unique, we are motivated in many different ways, and different things drive us to succeed. What inspires me is finding out what truly makes us tick and using coaching to make a difference to our everyday lives. To make a change affects us individually; it affects our families, our peers and the companies we work for…It’s worth doing something about!”
“I really enjoy making a difference. I believe that if leadership thinking and capability evolves to its highest level, then the organisation grows too, producing better results and better lives, ultimately bettering the nation as a whole. I relish those times when you see an individual raising their game as a result of an Altris experience, and knowing that this will help them to go on and make a difference themselves.”
“I believe that we all have the ability to achieve much more than we currently do. I work as a coach to provide the support and space for my clients to identify what they really want to achieve and to support them in working through how they will achieve that. I aim to make a difference to people’s lives and the businesses they work in, and as a result, to the lives of others they come into contact with.”
“I believe that you already have everything you need to lead. Leadership is about recognising and learning how to harness your own unique skills, experience and ways of seeing the world and being able to help those you lead to do the same. I’m a motivator and inspirer who loves creating highly engaging and challenging experiences with people.”
“I’m passionate about empowering people to be their best, to achieve more than they thought possible. I support clients to realise their full goals and aspirations and then grow, stretch and develop to achieve these. As a coach I serve clients to live authentically, create excitement, confidence, motivation and to ignite their self-belief. My aim is to support you, challenge you, offer fresh perspectives and generate solutions to empower you to positively move forward in your life and career.”
I am an experienced strategic coach with a creative, collaborative and encouraging style. I am blessed to do what I love and have enjoyed many years of sitting beside some amazing people achieving amazing things. I enjoy nothing more than jumping into the sandpit with my clients. I help them identify and embrace their unique strengths, motivators and “style” while aiming for professional distinction and personal fulfilment… hopefully with a bit of fun along the way! I look forward to meeting you.”
