About Us
In the modern fast-changing business world your people often provide your primary competitive difference. No wonder companies face enormous pressure to recruit, train and motivate the best people.
Today’s executives want roles where they can learn, connect and grow; where they can encounter fresh perspectives and new ideas. They want to work for a business with meaningful purpose.
At TIE we help companies create ‘people-centred leaders’. We introduce your talented employees to different cultures and challenges, helping them better understand their own unique qualities and potential. We jolt people out of their comfort zones, exposing them to real global issues and tough social problems.
Our leadership training programmes are designed to reframe success. By nurturing leaders who are more responsible and resilient, more creative, and confident, you can build a more valuable business – one that thrives in today’s volatile, interdependent environment. We call this Return on Humanity.

I am looking for programmes that will motivate and inspire talent whilst making our people better and stronger. TIE allows people to step out of the circuit, find their own route, and they don’t have to deal with the hierarchy. Nothing about TIE is theoretical. It’s real. What TIE does has real implication and real value. In the real world. This is not a drill.

TIE has given me an opportunity to dream bigger, think bigger and act bigger – all with the intention of creating a much bigger version of my life! I came into the process completely naïve and have left feeling culturally diverse and ready to tackle more challenges.
