Our Story

 

uniQua was founded in 2017 with a vision to redefine expectations within the leadership talent acquisition and transition coaching space. We have created a new model for talent acquisition which incorporates transition coaching within our fee structure.

 

uniQua also provides standalone transition coaching to develop emerging and existing leaders. Our transition coaching can be implemented on an ad-hoc basis or provided as a company benefit.

 

 

 

 

“I created uniQua with a vision to help people and organisations. 

 

People want to learn and develop, they want to feel motivated and connected and they want a fulfilling career. They want their employer to invest in their personal development and to support them through periods of transition. That support is most valuable when they first join the business, progress into a new role including first-time leadership or multifunctional leadership, or when the organisation is undergoing a period of significant growth or change.

​

Organisations need to hire the right talent and they need to make sure they have the necessary tools available to make effective hiring decisions. They need to make an investment to develop, coach and progress their staff, create effective teams, reduce hiring costs and retain their top performers.

​

I passionately believe our services are well placed to support our mission and the ever-changing demands placed on both individuals and organisations."
