Less people friction.
More execution.
A behavioural-preference-led coaching and consulting approach that helps owners, leaders, and teams align faster, reduce misunderstandings, and raise standards without constant firefighting.
Quick Diagnostic
If you are nodding at any of these...
DNE will pay for itself in time and sanity.
"We've had this chat before."
Repeat conversations usually mean unclear agreements.
"Just ask me."
Owner dependency usually means missing decision rights.
Meetings feel tense.
Tension often comes from people not knowing who decides.
Great people... inconsistent output.
Style mismatch means your coaching needs translation.
The Framework
What DNE Is
DNE stands for Discover, Navigate, Elevate. It gives teams a shared language for how people work, communicate, decide, and respond to feedback.
01
Discover
Reveal working styles fast
Spot what someone needs to perform (without guesswork). Examples: speed vs certainty, autonomy vs guidance, direct vs diplomatic.
- Less guesswork
- Better coaching
- Faster alignment
02
Navigate
Cut friction and miscommunication
Stop the misunderstanding loop before it becomes drama, avoidance, or rework.
- Better meetings
- Cleaner handovers
- Fewer repeated conversations
03
Elevate
Raise standards without micromanaging
Build clarity, decision rights, and follow-through so performance does not depend on you being everywhere.
- Clear standards
- Decision rights that speed up execution
- Simple rhythms (1:1s, check-ins)
The Process
How It Works
No jargon. No personality boxing. Just a repeatable way to lead humans with more precision.
01
Baseline reality
We identify where decisions stall, standards slip, and conflict quietly drains energy.
02
Translate working styles
We map behavioural preferences into practical “how to work with me” guidance.
03
Install simple systems
Decision rights, feedback scripts, 1:1 cadence, and a clear definition of done.
04
Make it stick
Lightweight follow-ups so standards and execution do not slide back.
