Stop treating symptoms of complexity and start solving the crisis of disengagement and overwhelm that is stalling productivity
Your leadership community is being squeezed from both sides: asked to deliver exponential results with shrinking resources, all while navigating a workplace, and a modern world, that feels increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and transactional. Or, dehumanising.
You've been told that the solution to complexity is the AI revolution. Though, in many cases it is considered a threat to job security. As if weakening job markets and the global economy aren't threatening enough. You're told if you implement the right tech-stacks to automate workflows you can solve leadership, productivity and engagement challenges. But convenience rarely comes without consequence.
Tackle Complexity With Simplicity // Under investment in human development during times of volatility & increased demand puts business at risk of profit leakage, performance & leadership deskilling and diminished occupational wellbeing causing burnout, disengagement and absenteeism.
HUMANEDGE solves these problems simply.

About me
Chris Pickering
Founder and Professional Existential Coach, MA
With a Masters degree in Existential Coaching, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) Accreditation (*in application), over 1,200 hours of clinical practice and an undergraduate bachelor degree is audio tech. & music business, Chris has dedicated his career to helping others to creatively and authentically navigate the psychological complexity of leadership and being human in the modern world. Chris's value is in helping others to take responsibility for creating meaning amongst the chaos of uncertainty.
Chris is the standard of quality and type of coach HUMANEDGE deploys for ours clients. When we need to bring in additional coaches to deliver transformation in your business we won't cut corners with unaccredited, inexperienced or social-media coachpreneurs. Proven experts only. We won't duplicate a coach with AI or depend on a chat bot in a digital platform to deliver value. We won't offer you coaches who aren't thoroughly trained nor appropriately insured. The coaching industry is densely populated with self-proclaimed experts. Cheap is often the most expensive thing we can do. We are above the noise and we can can prove it with our qualifications and track record. We have the edge and we'll bring it to you, too.
I ask clients what their single most valuable outcome is...
"Taking different perspectives and considerations on how to view situations and how to act on them accordingly. Chris is not only an exceptional active listener, he is also amazing at reading between the lines to uncover crucial aspects not explicitly shared. These serve as wonderful aids in better understanding complex situations and circumstances. Chris is a great example of how a coach can impact people’s life and career in the most positive way."
