Change: A Complex Topic
So much written about it, so many models and approaches,…
Whether you’re experiencing large-scale transformation or guiding your team through ongoing change, we equip you with the people strategies, growth mindset and behavioural tools to succeed.
Our world’s changing faster than ever. Keeping up means continually reinventing yourself – as an organisation, a leader, a team or just as a person.
This change often feels overwhelming, confusing and exhausting. Sometimes it even feels impossible. But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to.
We empower people at every level to think about and engage with change in a brain-friendly way – enabling everyone to adapt and evolve, whatever the future holds.
Anyone can learn to lead others brilliantly through change. With our learning programmes, you’ll get equipped to navigate the emotional challenges of change and create environments where teams can thrive.
Teams thrive when they have clarity, energy, and purpose. Whether experiencing a merger, navigating significant change, or simply needing to refocus, we help teams align, define values and behaviours and inspire the energy and ownership needed to succeed.
You’re more capable of change than you think. Whatever change you’re going through at work or beyond, our learning programmes support you to become more resilient, confident and equipped.
As an experienced change consultancy, we inspire organisations and their people to become the best versions of themselves. We don’t just deliver solutions; we work alongside you as true partners in your change journey.
By putting people at the centre of change, we help leaders, teams, and individuals build resilience, shift mindsets, and inspire action. Drawing on neuroscience and real-world expertise, we simplify the complexities of change, creating tailored approaches that energise and empower your people.
Together, we turn the challenges of change into opportunities for growth.
As human beings, we’re naturally wired to resist change. By understanding how the brain, mind and body responds, we make it easier for people to engage with change.
Transformation isn’t one-dimensional – and neither are we. Our unique blend of expertise gives you the complete recipe for successful, sustainable change.
As qualified neuroscience practitioners, our approach works because it’s rooted in proven science about what makes people tick.
As down-to-earth communicators, we translate the complexities of business and behaviour change into language anyone can use and understand.
As seasoned transform and engagement experts, everything we do serves the bigger picture and delivers measurable results.
Transformation can only happen if your people are engaged. We develop the robust engagement approaches, communications strategies and leadership capabilities needed to make your transformation initiatives succeed.
Minerva delivered an in-depth and well-constructed training that I will find useful in the days, months and years ahead. When you’re in the middle of delivering Change Communications, you want the reassurance that you understand the various needs of your audience to make sure it lands. The course, and the thinking behind it, is a perfect way of getting you in the right headspace to deliver effective messaging.
The team is amazing. Just phenomenal people. They know their craft and they’re fun to work with. They had a desire to really please the customer. I couldn’t have imagined a better working relationship with anyone.
I can highly recommend Deborah’s workshops / sessions that she runs.
Deborah is able to engage a group and hold their interest for the whole session with her friendly and approachable style . She uses analogies to help her key messages land, and these analogies stay with you for a long time after the sessions.
Very rarely do you work with someone and immediately “click”. Deborah and I have worked together to bring a few Minerva sessions into my organisation, and each time she has been an utter joy to work with. She delivers an incredible, engaging tailored sessions each time, and her knowledge and delivery style is mind blowing. I would relish the opportunity to work with her again, and genuinely cannot recommend her and her services highly enough.
The Minerva team provided us with the means to identify and tackle challenges of rapid growth and help maintain positive mental health and wellbeing for all our people as we grow.
Hands down the best course I’ve ever been on. Extremely relevant and practical for both IC and HR practitioners and very topical re. the issues facing organisations and employees right now. Deborah was very friendly, knowledgeable and inspiring and was open to comments and queries throughout. The pace of learning was spot on. This should be essential for anyone developing their career in IC.
Minerva had worked with us at L&G in various ways, including communication and change training and development. Latterly she has provided coaching expertise which has had fantastic results. Deborah’s blend of academic rigour coupled with human centricity is very powerful, allowing people to understand why something is happening and then develop the practical tools to change it. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Working with Minerva, I was particularly impressed that, when the scope of work changed, they were able to react quickly and adapt. They weren’t fazed at all.
Deborah is an outstanding mentor and communicator whose support has shaped my professional growth. Her clear and practical approach drives productive conversations, empowering me to tackle challenges head-on. With her guidance, I’ve learnt to silence my inner critic.
Mentee
Deborah is a one in a million speaker, inspiring yet very practical. Her calm energy, professionalism and ability to keep audience captivated always delivers outstanding feedback.
Deborah joined British Gas at a time of enormous change, industry wide and throughout the organisation. She immediately embarked upon a detailed review of how we communicated, how we worked as a communications team and brought new techniques and process to help guide us all and work more effectively. Very quickly establishing a strong relationship with our MD and board Deborah was able to give us genuine space to craft innovative communication plans and make a real difference to the organisation.

Change is not a linear process and central to our approach is helping clients understand how the brain, mind, and body respond to change through its various stages. This is how we create environments where individuals and teams don’t just follow new processes but thrive and engage with the change that’s going on around them.
Brain-friendly change is about aligning change strategies with how people naturally think, feel, and behave. It’s proven to reduce resistance, enhance resilience, and deliver results that last—because when people are engaged, change succeeds.
No two organisations or teams are the same, which is why we take time to understand your culture, challenges, and goals. This ensures our solutions are fit for purpose, relevant, practical, and built to deliver measurable outcomes specific to your needs.
We provide leaders with the tools and insights to lead with empathy, clarity, and impact. By focusing on mindset, emotional safety, and practical strategies, we empower leaders to create environments where teams feel inspired to embrace change.
We specialise in turning challenge into opportunity. Our strategic input and facilitation tools and techniques help teams rediscover their shared purpose, rebuild trust, and ignite the energy needed to move forward together with clarity and confidence.
Our approach is outcome driven. You’ll see a difference in the way leaders inspire trust and collaboration, the extent to which teams are re-energised and aligned, and how colleagues are more ready and able to adapt.
We ensure that when working with teams experiencing high levels of fatigue we give them the time to pause, reflect, and reconnect with their professional goals. By clarifying purpose, aligning on values, and fostering mutual understanding, we create a platform for renewed energy and meaningful progress.
Our expertise spans industries—from corporate environments to public sector organisations. No matter where people are in the process of navigating change, we bring the insights, strategies and tools needed to support them.
We take a holistic approach. Supporting leaders, teams, and individuals together ensures change isn’t just imposed—it’s embraced. This alignment amplifies impact across all levels of your organisation.
It starts with a conversation. We’ll sit down with you and take the time to understand what is getting in the way. We explore the challenges and opportunities to develop a tailored approach that works for your people and for your business.
