Our Story

What happens when a Clinical Psychologist and the MD of global HR services put their heads together? Mind Strength.

With a shared passion for the power of resilience to grow people and organisations, they made it their mission to create a programme that gives people the tools they’ve always needed to feel stronger, better and brighter – at work and in life.

“When your mind is in a stronger place, you get more from life and your work – and your work gets more from you.”
