Leaders are the Cure
There's growing fear, uncertainty, and doubt about what comes next. No one has the answer, but we know that the problems of tomorrow will be solved by developing leaders today.
Our Approach
We believe in the inherent value of development, and that value is best realized by making it timely and relevant to your context. Our approach is centered on making evidence-based practices usable, accessible, practical, and specific to your needs.
Complexity Fitness
Switched On is rooted in adult development theory, the study of how adults grow in their thinking, roles, and identities over the course of their lives. This growth shows up as an ability to hold more perspectives, plan across longer timelines, and find balance among seemingly contradicting ideas and values. Here we adopt Cultivating Leadership’s term “Complexity Fitness”, meaning a person’s way of understanding and handling the complexity of their world. As with other forms of fitness, developing your complexity fitness increases your capacity to make sense of and thrive in increasingly complex environments. This involves bringing the often unconscious edges of your capacity to your conscious mind where they can be seen, understood, altered, and reintegrated.
Reflection In Action
We support this journey through a psychological, emotional, and somatic exploration of your curent context, values, and goals to help identify these edges. Together we co-design experiments that challenge and expand those growth edges, implement them in real work, reflect on what happened, and iterate. Over a number of cycles, the process starts to compress until experiment, reflection, and iteration happen in real time, and the person owns the skill of development.
This is Reflection in Action, and it underpins our coaching, community, and company offerings.

About the Founder
Terence Davy is a coach that helps leaders be more effective in complex environments.
Before coaching, terence spent over a decade in the software industry, driving growth and leading teams of 150+ as his company grew to a >$1B valuation. During his first 2 years as a vice president he worked with a developmental coach. In that time, he reshaped his leadership principles and practices in a way that improved the business metrics that mattered most, includeing revenue, customer satisfaction, employee engagement, while also decreasing stress.
The results were so powerful that he built developmental practices into everything: processes, meetings, 1-on-1s, and eventually into company-level strategy.
Today he brings that same work to leaders through coaching, community, and company development.
