Sustainable Performance with Integrity

We design practical, evidence-based programmes that optimise learning and create sustainable high performance — with integrity at their core.

Our work integrates applied psychology and neuroscience to deliver practical tools that work in the real world. From optimising learning, mindset, sustainable leadership and overcoming imposter syndrome to building ecologies of resilience, our programmes are designed to make performance and wellbeing co-exist, not compete.

We’re constantly exploring new ways of working and always bring you the latest empirically evidenced strategies. Every organisation is different, so every programme we deliver is tailored. And when our work together ends, our support doesn’t — whether it’s six weeks or six years later, we’ll still be here for you.

For over fifteen years, we’ve worked across the world, from tech start-ups in New York to medical colleges and NGOs in Tibet, to community programmes in New Zealand.

At the heart of everything we do is the spirit of Koru — a Māori symbol for growth, harmony and new beginnings. It guides how we work: with authenticity, positive energy, and a deep belief in people’s potential to grow, to lead, and to create meaningful, sustainable change.

Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusivity

Since the beginning of Koru we have aimed to create an experience of inquiry around the places where encoded racism, privilege, and biases make their way into messaging, stories and learning. We are committed to making the unconscious conscious in every way that we can. 

Giving Back

A percentage of Koru profits go to the Koru Trust, a small charity staffed by volunteers, working to provide educational resources to Karen Hill Tribe refugees on the Burma border. So far we have funded a 3 year degree programme for an awesome student who earned a university place despite having no electricity or running water, 6 laptops, a generator (for the electricity to power the laptops) books, medicine, winter clothing (from an army of talented Yorkshire based knitters) and whatever else is needed.
