Who we are
The art of leadership
Welcome to uātēs, the leadership institute for knowing, becoming and doing. A sanctuary and workshop where you deepen knowledge into insight and embody insight into action. We offer a bed for the development of lived leadership, with heart and soul, body and soul. We work from the inside out and connect your personal learning journey with professional craftsmanship. In this way, competence grows into mastery, visible in congruence between words and deeds and between desire and form. This creates value for people, team and system.
At uātēs, you enter the leadership guild: a community of c-suite peers, supervisors and peers who sharpen each other, as each other's apprentice and master. Sharing and learning are the norm. Ownership lies with the collective, not the programme.
Our style is loving and pleasantly clear: we create both safety and challenge, allowing you to practice new behaviour without detours or circumspection. We work on the edge: where both you and we learn in our encounter. Lifelike, pure, vulnerable and courageous.
Coming to uātēs means choosing sustainable growth: looking more precisely, speaking more courageously, acting more congruently. We welcome you to feed on experience and acuity, and to practice what matters in freedom.

What we do
Leaders, organisations and professionals
Leadership
We coach and mentor senior leaders in their personal and professional development, linked to the organisational task.
We offer insight, experience and a circle of peers to share dilemmas, complexity, ambiguity and doubt, broaden the repertoire of action and sharpen the mind.
Organisational development
With our customised programmes, we create learning organisations with an open, results-oriented culture.
We pair passion with professionalism and performance. Responsibility, trust and desire are the keys to unlocking hidden potential.
Craftsmanship
For professional coaches and supervisors, we offer a sanctuary for professional development.
We are each other's guide and witness and at the same time each other's master and disciple. In knowing and not-knowing, in deepening and enduring and in celebrating and refining the art of our craft.

uātēs lux - your personal assistant
Uātēs Lux is your understanding and pleasantly clear sparring partner in your pocket: 24/7 access to all uātēs wisdom, exactly when you need to decide, interpret or limit. This chat box reflects from the uātēs leadership vision on your specific questions and gives you direct action perspectives: from undercurrent to upstream, from insight to action, without detours.
Ask your question - strategic, professional or personal - and receive compact reflections with concrete next steps that fit your context and rhythm.
You get language that can carry tension, examples that matter and interventions your team can try today. Uātēs Lux is not a database, but your personal coach: a mirror and guide that connects your personal drives, patterns and behaviour to results. Thus supporting your learning journey as a double helix: you develop yourself and your organisation in one move.
Whether you are considering a board decision, preparing for a difficult conversation or securing a change programme: you get clear frameworks, language and interventions that work. With uātēs Lux, you are always connected to an inexhaustible source in a safe bed - just enough friction to grow, just enough support to land. In short: one click, one conversation, one new movement towards congruent leadership and sustainable added value!
“Since uātēs I experience flow: high alignment, low command, maximum agility”
How do we make a difference
underpinned, experienced and systemic
SCIENCE-BASED
Our craft and expertise is rooted in over 25 years of training, research and experience and builds on Hult Ashridge, Tavistock Institute, C.G. Jung Institute, SIOO, Phoenix Training, Qing-Bai and Mantak Chia.
EXPERIENCED INTERVENTIONISTS
Our experts are trained at MA or PhD level in strategic organisational development, management science, economics, psychology, systemic work, medicine and coaching, have acted at final leadership level in organisations within the public and private sectors or are esteemed lecturers at leading training institutes.
4-DIMENSIONAL LEADERSHIP
uātēs sees leadership as a nexus between inner and outer worlds. We work on four dimensions - rational, emotional, spiritual and physical - from self-insight and expansion of one's own thinking and acting patterns to mindset and behavioural change. Thus, we develop reflective leaders who create tipping points to renew a culture, deepen cooperation and sustainably improve performance levels.
SYSTEMIC AND PSYCHODYNAMIC PERSPECTIVE
We go beyond the immediately observable, combining management theory with an understanding of what goes on in the undercurrent and influences human behaviour. We accompany leaders and professionals in practising the fruitful use of the systemic and psychodynamic perspective.
