TEAM DYNAMICS
Navigate Transformation With Depth
Psychologically-grounded transformation for team effectiveness & development
ORGANISATIONAL SHADOW WORK
Your team’s conflicts and tensions reveal unconscious patterns. When these become conscious, they transform from obstacles into opportunities for integration and growth. This is depth psychology applied to teams—understanding the psychological forces beneath the surface so they can serve rather than sabotage performance.

THE EIGHT FUNCTIONS
The eight functions reveal the distinct ways your people perceive the world and make decisions. Understanding how they show up in your team – including areas of strength, harmony and shadow dynamics – is essential for effective collaboration. Based on Jungian psychology, this framework provides the foundation for all our team dynamics work.
The Seer function sees patterns and possibilities others miss, naturally understanding how situations will unfold over time. Seers excel at meaning-making, strategic foresight, and synthesising complex information into clear insights about human potential and systemic dynamics.
In practice: Strong Seer energy gravitates toward depth over breadth, prefers meaningful work over surface-level engagement, and brings invaluable long-term vision to both personal and professional contexts.
The Explorer function generates possibilities and makes novel connections, constantly exploring potential in people, ideas, and situations. Explorers excel at creative problem-solving, seeing opportunities others miss, and energising groups with fresh perspectives.
In practice: Strong Explorer energy brings innovation, adaptability, and the ability to pivot quickly when circumstances change—essential for navigating complexity and uncertainty.
The Lover function filters experiences through a personal value system, maintaining strong internal convictions about what matters. Lovers bring passionate commitment to meaningful causes, deep empathy for individual needs, and unwavering authenticity.
In practice: Strong Lover energy ensures work aligns with core values, champions causes that matter, and ensures that human needs are considered in decision-making processes.
The Caregiver function creates connection and facilitates group harmony, naturally understanding what others need emotionally and how to bring out authentic expression. Caregivers excel at reading social dynamics, creating supportive environments, and helping people feel valued.
In practice: Strong Caregiver energy builds cohesive teams, mediates conflicts with empathy, and maintains team morale through genuine care for individuals.
The Sage function pursues logical consistency and precise understanding, constantly refining frameworks and questioning assumptions. Sages excel at analytical clarity, systematic thinking, and identifying logical flaws that others overlook.
In practice: Strong Sage energy provides critical analysis, ensures decisions are logically sound, and helps organisations think more rigorously about complex problems.
The Commander function structures the external world for maximum effectiveness, naturally seeing how to implement solutions and achieve concrete results. Commanders excel at project management, operational efficiency, and decisive leadership.
In practice: Strong Commander energy delivers results through well-designed processes, clear accountability, and systematic execution—translating vision into tangible outcomes.
The Stalwart function maintains stability through attention to detail, established procedures, and lessons from past experience. Stalwarts excel at creating reliable systems, noticing inconsistencies, and ensuring quality through thorough attention.
In practice: Strong Stalwart energy provides organisational memory, operational consistency, and the careful attention that prevents costly mistakes.
The Tactician function engages directly with immediate reality, excelling at real-time responsiveness and hands-on problem-solving. Tacticians bring dynamic energy, practical resourcefulness, and the ability to adapt instantly to changing circumstances.
In practice: Strong Tactician energy thrives in crisis situations, physical challenges, and environments requiring immediate action and tactical awareness.
