People are our greatest asset

The future of work just got personal

We think that the “soft stuff” is what gives us a professional edge….and there’s nothing soft about an edge.

—Today’s Problems & Challenges—

The world of work requires professionals to evolve on a scale never seen before. That evolution is neither easy nor linear when against a backdrop of fast-paced change, complexity and uncertainty.

Bureaucratic structures and systems that were designed to support the world of work over 100 years ago are still in existence today which has dehumanised workplaces. Exactly the opposite to where the future of work is headed.

Identifying which human qualities will make the difference is the easy part. The difficult part is pushing through the comfort zone to where the magic happens.

Here at KEPAGA, we spend our time creating that magic so that organisations and individuals unlock potential and achieve great things simply by developing their professional edge.

—The Professional Edge—

Having a Professional Edge has become the new imperative in the world of work.

Alongside our technical and domain skills there are human qualities, behaviours, mind-sets and characteristics that together give us an edge.

Having an edge benefits each of us in many ways:

for personal health and happiness
for great customer and business outcomes
for the future of work
for humanity

It's no longer just about what we do. After all, we are human beings and we are the future of work.

—Our Vision—

A world of work where enriched human skills benefit both professionals and organisations at their core. Where the soft stuff is as integral as our technical, domain and industry skills.

Professionals enjoying working life, feeling fulfilled, achieving great things for customers and culturally shaping the future of work
Companies doing better, meaningful, valued business in the age of digital

We believe that the following can exist together:

—What we do—

We provide coaching and training products, services and solutions.

We work with individuals, teams and large-scale global organisations to develop and nurture great people, unlocking leadership potential and creating a healthy working culture.

“We are not our finished product, the fun is in the making.”

A powerful blend of vision, expertise and lived experience

Our Co-founders

Gabrielle Patrick and Kerry Nickols of KEPAGA met on the delivery of a large scale (90k+ employee) Agile transformation within Financial Services. Gabby's role was to "make it happen". The first person she brought in was Kerry knowing that the biggest challenge with any transformation is usually a human one. We brought our skills and vast corporate experience together, rolled up our sleeves and learned lots about what it means to have a professional edge in the age of digital.

We were then asked to write our first leadership programme for a Fortune Global 500 Company and the rest is history.
