Sound, voice and leadership work for founder-led teams
We’re Nic and Van. We work with founders and the small teams around them: sound journeys in your space, voice workshops, leadership off-sites, and brand strategy days when the business needs them.
We’ve both led teams of our own: Nic built an agency group across eight countries, and Van was a programme director across Asia Pacific.
Four programmes
Each one shaped around your team.
Nic and Van play live in your space: looped vocals, drumming, handpan, didgeridoo, flute, percussion and bowls. Shaped around where the team is at: after a launch, at the end of a quarter, or when everyone just needs a reset.
A workshop on finding and using your voice: speaking up, presenting, being seen and heard. Especially useful for teams who create, present or face the public.
Time away to realign on purpose and reset how you work together, with brand work, somatic practice and sound. In regional or coastal NSW, or further afield.
A half or full day with Nic on the business itself: who it’s for, what it stands for and where it goes next. Van joins on creative direction and voice.
Every programme is shaped to your team, and the prices above are where they start.
Who we work best with
Founder-led teams of around 5 to 50 people, where the founder is hands-on with culture and direction. Businesses building something for a reason beyond margin, and creative teams whose people are expected to make things and speak for them.
We don’t take on large enterprises, or industries we don’t believe in. Smaller teams move faster, and the work lands.
Between us we’ve worked with brands like Microsoft, Google and ANZ, along with dozens of startups, studios and small businesses. A few recent examples:
- A content strategy and team training workshop for a leading Sydney interior design firm
- A workshop helping an e-commerce brand define what success looks like
- The launch campaign for a premium coffee product
Who you’ll be working with
Built an agency to $10M across eight countries, then left that world behind. Fifteen years of strategy work, many more of the other kind. With teams, Nic leads the strategy work and plays alongside Van in the sound journeys.
