Hello, we're
HumanKind
We’re a consultancy providing clear, structured and emotionally intelligent support for founders and leaders navigating growth, pressure and change.
When pace is high and demands are constant, it can be hard to find the space to step back, think clearly, and see what’s really at play.
HumanKind exists to create that space.
Drawing on real-world leadership experience, behavioural insight and practical consultancy, we help leaders strengthen communication, alignment and ways of working across their business. The result is clearer decision-making, stronger leadership and teams that feel supported, focused and able to perform, in a way that’s sustainable over time.
By bringing together practical experience, people expertise, behavioural insight, and innovative tools and technology, we help businesses improve how they operate, communicate and collaborate - delivering results that can be seen, felt and measured.
Who we help
We support founders and leaders of SMEs across a range of sectors who want greater clarity, stronger team collaboration, and practical support that makes a real difference.
HumanKind is built by people who’ve led businesses through those exact stages, from start-up through to £40m+ growth. That real-world experience means we quickly understand what’s happening beneath the surface - and help you bring strategic clarity, strengthen communication, and create alignment across the business, so progress becomes visible, felt, and sustainable.
Why we do it
We’re led by a simple truth: People are the heart of every business. When they feel clear, supported and confident in their roles, performance strengthens across every level.
We know, because we’ve lived it ourselves.
We exist to help leaders like you to build workplaces where people and performance thrive.
The role of emotional intelligence
At the heart of HumanKind is emotional intelligence - the ability to understand people, navigate complexity and respond thoughtfully under pressure.
In practice, this means recognising what’s really going on beneath the surface, handling difficult conversations with care, and creating clarity where there’s uncertainty or tension. It’s what allows us to build trust quickly, support leaders through sensitive moments and help teams move forward with confidence.
For us, emotional intelligence isn’t a “soft skill”. It’s a practical capability that strengthens communication, decision-making and performance across a business.
Wellbeing as a foundation, not an add-on
We don’t see wellbeing as separate from performance. When people are stretched, unclear or constantly firefighting, it shows - in decision-making, communication and delivery.
Our work reduces unnecessary pressure and helps teams work in ways that are both sustainable and effective. That might mean clearer roles, better communication, more realistic expectations or stronger support through change.
When work feels lighter and more manageable, people think more clearly, collaborate better and perform more consistently. That’s better for individuals - and for the business as a whole.
