Jane Brendgen is the founder of Compassionate Cultures. She is an executive and therapeutic coach, supervisor, psychological safety team facilitator and columnist for Coaching at Work.

She supports individuals in their professional and personal contexts to understand, nurture, transform and mature their views, qualities and capacities in a way that can lead to inner and outer flourishing for the greater good.

Lindsay Wittenberg is an executive coach and enables developmental reflection for leaders, and she coaches for development and transformation. She equips senior people to gain fresh perspectives, achieve shifts in their thinking and behaviour, release more of their talent, and find peace with themselves and their environment. She works both one-to-one and one-to-team, the latter particularly in relation to psychological safety, its sources, and the dynamics that build and sustain it. She is a systemic practitioner, complemented by psychological and somatic perspectives, enabling a deeply safe and compassionate environment in which clients feel able to be vulnerable - and so access new ways of thinking and being that can lead to transformation.

Mark McMordie is CEO of the Conscious Leader, co-author of Mindfulness for Coaches and contributor to Ecological and Climate-Conscious Coaching. He works with CEOs and leaders to create compassionate, psychologically safe and innovative organizations that leave the world better than they found it. He helps leaders to develop the inner and outer capacities for more inclusive, inquiry-based leadership and organization transformation.

Heather Monro is a coach, developmental partner and spiritual companion to those on courageous journeys of becoming, of reimagining the future and of challenging conventional operating norms. In service of leadership action arising from wisdom and love and transformational outcomes for individuals, organisations, humanity and the Earth. Working at the intersection of adult development theory, psychodynamics, applied neuropsychology, and ancient wisdom traditions she aspires to creating spaces for hearts to open and consciousness to expand and for exploring new possibilities for more awakened leadership: Leadership that springs from a synergy of mind, body, and spirit and a deep understanding of the self, others, and the interconnected nature of all things.
