Alumni: Dave Hider
Mindgap is an innovative purpose driven business founded by Dave Hider in 2014.
Mindgap was established to address the unrealised potential locked up in the 'gaps of people's minds' in areas such as:
Personal Potential: Where people are struggling to achieve their (personal or professional) ambitions
Team Potential: Where teams are wanting to move from 'norming' to 'high performing' stages
Organisational Potential: Where a business needs to transition in leadership, culture development or growth
Community Potential: Where a community wants to change from 'as is' (current state) to 'to be' (future state)
To see this potential unlocked, Mindgap has created and developed a range of innovative tools and approaches. Follow the links for more information on these services.
- Accredited Leadership Training
- Bespoke Training Courses
- Team Development
- Group Facilitation
- Consultancy
- Strategic Business Reviews
- Executive Coaching
- Psychometric Testing
But who we are is as important as what we do at Mindgap and so we are committed to modelling a different kind of business that is established on our four unshakeable values including giving away 20% of our time and profit to people in need.
Like what you see? Please take your time to consider what we do and who we are and see if we might fit! This 'fit' is critical to us.
