Ongoing TheoryWe build better leaders and better businesses
A modern business consultancy
We partner with individuals and organisations ready to upgrade how they work - aligning leadership, culture, and systems with the demands of the modern world.
While disruption accelerates, many are still operating inside outdated, unconscious systems. We help shift that - bringing clarity, structure, and intention into the way you lead and grow.
Our approach blends human insight with digital tools - combining coaching, facilitation, and strategic frameworks with lightweight tech to embed lasting change.
No one-size-fits-all. Just evolving practices designed to unlock better decision-making, healthier teams, and long-term performance.
What we do
Consulting & Coaching
+ Consulting - When your team or organisation needs strategic support. We help you reach alignment with your business goals by developing modern systems - both human and technological - that improve how your organisation operates, collaborates, and performs.
+ Coaching - When you need a guide to help you return to centre, find balance, increase performance and help design a life you truly enjoy.
Workshops & Retreats
+ Workshops & Offsites - When your team needs a jolt. Not more meetings or strategy decks but fresh energy, honest breakthroughs, and the kind of creative alignment that moves people forward, together.
+ Retreats - When it’s time to stop ignoring the signs. Step back, slow down, and create space for deep transformation - the kind that leads to meaningful, lasting change, not just a weekend reset.
Our flagship offerings
Return to Centre
A three-month programme to refine how you lead - mentally, physically, and energetically. Designed for leaders who are feeling stuck, tired or burnt out and have a desire for change, but don’t know where to begin.
The Alignment Offsite
A one-day, high-impact experience designed to bring your team back into sync - intellectually, culturally, and operationally. It blends clear-headed strategy with embodied experiences in a beautiful location that gets people out of their day-to-day fog and into real, meaningful momentum.
Work isn’t working.
Many teams are stuck in reactive mode- rushed, fragmented, and misaligned. Leaders are stretched thin, and as pressure builds, clarity, creativity, and performance decline. Culture suffers. So does output.
At Ongoing Theory, we help organisations shift from operating under pressure to leading with presence.
Not by slowing down—but by redesigning the way you work, decide, and collaborate.
It’s not just about solving surface-level issues. It’s about upgrading the systems behind how your business functions—starting with your people.

OUR CLIENTS COME FROM
The Alignment Theory
We’re at the cutting edge of ancient wisdom.
What the heck does that mean? While the challenges leaders face today may look modern, the underlying causes of stress, burnout, and disconnection are timeless. We are holistic beings who require continual tuning and alignment to thrive. It’s actually rather simple, yet we have forgotten.
That’s why we created The Alignment Theory - our model for leading in this modern world. We approach your life through a holistic lens, looking first at the flow of energy in your life, then at how you align body, spirit and mind and ultimately, how that alignment shapes both your being and your doing.
Because when you’re in tune, everything moves with greater clarity, purpose, and ease. And that’s real nice.
