Leadership Consultant · Educator· Facilitator

Helping people, teams and organisations adapt, grow and flourish in an ever-changing world.

I help people and organisations develop the human capacities this moment calls for — wisdom and clarity, trust and connection, energy and systems-level thinking.

I facilitate leadership and learning programs, work with teams, and coach leaders — either directly or as part of an existing team or program.

My work brings together leadership research and flow science, shaped by a decade of working with everyone from Fortune 500 companies and Navy SEALs to founders, social entrepreneurs and creative communities.

TRUSTED BY:

Educator &
Associate Facilitator

My passion is education — creating learning experiences that change how people see themselves, one another and the world around them.

I work as an educator and associate facilitator, designing and delivering engaging, thoughtful learning experiences for leaders, teams and organisations.

I can bring my own content and expertise, or step into an existing programme and make someone else’s content come alive in the room.

Areas of expertise

My broader expertise is in business leadership, human potential and the science of how people learn, focus, collaborate and perform. I bring this together with a strong understanding of organisational life, creating learning that is intellectually rigorous, practical and deeply human.

  • Grounded in the neurobiology and science of flow, helping individuals and teams create the conditions for deep focus, optimal engagement and their best work.

  • Developing leaders who can understand themselves and others while maintaining clarity, accountability and direction.

  • Understanding the conditions that enable people to perform well without sacrificing their wellbeing.

  • Building the capability to navigate disagreement, tension and complexity constructively.

  • Developing the individual and collective capabilities that enable people and organisations to thrive.

  • Building healthier environments where people can speak up, contribute and work well together.

  • Understanding how attention works — and how to protect it in increasingly demanding environments.

  • Helping people and organisations navigate uncertainty, anticipate change and imagine what might be possible.

  • Exploring how AI is changing work, leadership and the distinctly human capabilities we need to develop.

  • Creating opportunities for people of different generations to learn from one another, exchange knowledge and experience, and build stronger connections.

DOCTOR OF BUSINESS LEADERSHIP

Dr. Clare Sarah Goodridge

THIS MOMENT CALLS FOR MORE FROM US

For more than a decade, I’ve worked at the intersection of leadership, human potential, performance, learning and organisational development — helping people think better, work better and navigate complexity with greater capability.

My experience is global. I have worked with large US-based organisations including Accenture, Meta, Google, Microsoft, Disney and Mirantis, as well as founders, executives, creatives, high-performance communities and organisations navigating significant change.

I’ve worked across leadership development, coaching, facilitation, flow, focus, psychological safety, behaviour change, team dynamics, stress and burnout, futures thinking and human capability. I’m as comfortable facilitating a room of senior leaders as I am coaching an individual through a complex challenge.

Alongside my work with global organisations, I have built my own body of practice through The Future of Flourishing, developing and delivering programmes that bring together leadership science, flow research, behaviour change and systems thinking.

My work has taken me from the Flow Research Collective, where I trained and coached more than 200 peak performance coaches, to working with leaders and teams around the world, and ultimately to founding The Future of Flourishing and co-founding Hearth Leadership.

I’m a Doctor of Business Leadership, leadership practitioner, coach and facilitator. What I bring is both depth of knowledge and the practical ability to turn that knowledge into meaningful learning, better decisions and real-world change.

The question that continues to sit underneath my work is simple:

What does it take for people, organisations and the wider world to flourish?

And, increasingly, what capabilities do we need to develop now to meet what comes next?

Clients I’ve partnered with: Accenture · Meta · Google · Microsoft · Disney · Mirantis · Bauhaus · Singularity University · San Francisco Police Department — alongside artists, Navy SEALs, politicians, Silicon Valley founders, and many, many artists, creatives and social entrepreneurs.

    CREATIVE FOCUS COACH

    I equate Clare community, care and collaboration. The level of heartfelt understanding that Clare brought to every digital online group interaction has been truly inspiring.

She carries within her the seeds of awakening to our inner aspects that have laid dormant in the face of the masculine corporate world of agendas and structures. She truly shines the light that is an antidote to chaos of burnout, confusion and resistance.
