What we do.
Breakthrough outcomes emerge when leaders design the precise conditions for transformative dialogue around the decisions that matter most.
After 20+ years navigating complex organisational challenges, we've learned that extraordinary results require extraordinary conversations to get there.​ We work with senior leaders whose challenges demand more than textbook solutions; they're navigating stakeholder complexity, transformation that requires challenging established assumptions, and strategic opportunities that conventional approaches can't unlock. Our Conversation Architecture™ methodology creates the conditions where breakthrough thinking becomes inevitable.
​
Whether through strategic intensives, ongoing thinking partnerships, or comprehensive transformation programmes, we design the conversations that unlock what's genuinely possible.
Our Offerings.
regenerative venture creation.
When you want your business venture to echo your values, from what you do to how you do it.
There's a massive disconnect in the enterprise world when it comes to what's actually regenerative. Social enterprises aren't always responsible or regenerative businesses.
​
Our Approach:
Having studied and done global research into what successful regenerative ventures look like, we've designed a comprehensive framework that goes from the Context & Philosophy of the leadership to the Business Model Design & Wealth Distribution. We have created the tools to support entrepreneurs through the framework and to take them from ideation to realisation.
What You Get:
-
Conversation Architecture diagnostic to understand where you're at. Really.
-
Regenerative Enterprise Design Lab Framework
-
Tools and Resources to support your journey to a viable regenerative venture.
Investment: Tailored to project scope and requirements.
​
Perfect for: entrepreneurs who want to legitimately create regenerative ventures, incubators & accelerators who actually want regenerative venture creation as part of its capacity building programmes.
"I don’t know where I, or Force of Nature, would be without Deepa’s counsel. She helped me turn a nebulous idea into a grounded project plan and, one year on, an established organisation.
Sometimes you receive advice so far from where you stand that it feels impossible to make actionable. Deepa, by contrast, creates the conditions for you to be majorly ambitious while holding your hand so you don’t fall flat on your face. She’s unafraid of asking hard questions (ones I would never even think to!), but will stick around to help you answer them. I am eternally indebted and grateful."​​
Clover Hogan, Force of Nature.
Working with Deepa changed the way I lead and make decisions. We were in the middle of some challenges: conflicting priorities, tension between old systems and new directions, and for me some big questions about how to grow without losing what made us distinct.
Deepa helped me work through them each with total clarity. By the end of our work I felt real alignment where before I had felt pretty stuck for some months. She helped me rethink how our programs fit together, and guided me in telling our story in a way that truly reflects the depth of what we do.
Since working with her, I’ve seen sharper internal focus, and real progress on the goals I’d been circling around for too long. Deepa was able to hold the strategic and also the human side of the work we do.

Strategic thinking partnership for leaders
navigating complex organisational paradoxes.
When you're wrestling with challenges that don't have textbook solutions - stakeholder tensions, mission vs commercial pressures, transformation that requires challenging assumptions everyone takes for granted - you need someone who understands the paradoxes that paralyse complex organisations and systems change.
Our Approach:
Most advisory conversations follow predictable patterns. But when you're navigating paradoxes standard approaches just reinforce existing thinking. We use Conversation Architecture to design strategic thinking sessions that surface the assumptions you're not even aware you're making, hold space for the tensions you're avoiding, and push you to explore the edges where your real breakthrough thinking lives. We offer a two-tier package depending on your needs and the speed/ intensity you want to travel.
What You Get:
-
Strategic thinking sessions designed using conversation architecture principles for productive dialogue.
-
Confidential space where we create the conditions for you to examine what you really want, not just what you think you should.
-
External perspective that guides you beyond familiar patterns when stakeholder interests conflict or transformation requires challenging everyone's assumptions.
-
Strategic thinking partnership that structures your thinking processes to move beyond recurring discussions.
-
Additional 90-minute sessions when you need deeper support for specific challenges or opportunities.
Investment: Based on nature of engagement and fairshare ethics.
Perfect for: senior leaders, founders, executives driving complex change.

Strategic Projects.
Large-scale transformation using conversation
architecture for systems change.
​​
Major strategic transformations - whether developing regenerative frameworks, navigating complex systems change, or creating alignment across multiple stakeholders - require more than traditional consulting approaches. These initiatives involve diverse perspectives, competing interests, and the need for breakthrough thinking that can only emerge through carefully designed engagement processes.
​
Our Approach:
We combine deep strategic expertise with conversation architecture to design and deliver transformation projects that create lasting change. Rather than imposing solutions, we architect the conversations that allow breakthrough insights to emerge from within your stakeholder ecosystem. This approach ensures both rigorous strategy development and genuine stakeholder ownership of outcomes.
What You Get:
-
Comprehensive stakeholder analysis and conversation mapping
-
Custom conversation architecture designed for your transformation challenge
-
Strategic framework development through designed dialogue processes
-
Multi-stakeholder engagement using brave spaces and skilled questioning
-
Implementation roadmaps co-created with key stakeholders

Ongoing conversation design support throughout project delivery

Knowledge transfer so your team can sustain the transformation approach

"Working with Deepa on developing Earthed’s strategy has been nothing short of transformative. She guided us to pause and reconnect with the “magic” of what we’ve achieved over the past 20 months since launch, no small task when you’re in the thick of delivery. Deepa created the space for reflection, helping us truly see and appreciate the scale and significance of our work so far.
From that grounded place, she helped us look forward, clarifying our future vision in a way that feels both inspiring and achievable. Deepa brings a powerful presence and energy to this work, blending strategic expertise with real joy and playfulness. Crucially, she doesn’t stop at lofty ambition. She helps translate vision into practical, actionable pathways, grounded in realistic targets and operational clarity.
We’re deeply grateful for her contribution. She’s helped us build a Theory of Change that doesn’t sit on a shelf but it’s already shaping how we grow and make impact."
Christabel Reed, Earthed.
