STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS
Two names, one belief: an organisation is only ever as effective as its people.
Tidal works globally through senior associates and two long-standing strategic partnerships — GSI Global Coaching Partners and Heartstyles. Together they let us take boutique, values-led work to any market, at any scale.

Why partner with a specialist, global coaching business?
Coaching is a specialist skill and a delivery mechanism. It needs matching, supervision, stakeholder management and feedback loops. This partnership gives you a coherent experience for every employee journey, backed by an internationally accredited and managed coach network.
Strategic consulting support
Bespoke coaching design that reflects each client's evolving needs — not an off-the-shelf catalogue.
Agile coach matching
Bespoke matching, briefing and contracting, run through an algorithm-driven digital platform and a human who knows both sides.
Coach supervision & development
Formal and group supervision keeps every coach sharp, supported and accountable to the work.
Systemic feedback & OD insight
Non-confidential themes are fed back to sharpen your organisational picture, so coaching informs strategy.
Scalable and affordable
Volume-based delivery across markets and languages, without losing the quality that made you choose us.
One central time zone
Global, multi-coach contracts managed from a single HQ — one point of contact, one standard of care.

PARTNERSHIP 02
Heartstyles
Heartstyles is the character-development methodology behind much of our leadership work. It asks a harder question than most models: not simply what you can do, but who you become under pressure. Tidal brings that question into leadership programmes, coaching, team development and wider culture work — giving people a practical way to recognise current behaviour and choose a more effective response.
THE HEARTSTYLES INDICATOR
Behaviour, not a personality type.
The Indicator explores 16 observable ways of thinking and behaving. Eight “above-the-line” behaviours help people and those around them grow; eight “below-the-line” behaviours can limit effectiveness. They are organised around four underlying principles — humility, love, pride and fear — and viewed through both personal and relational lenses.
It does not label people as fixed types. A benchmark, self-view and optional colleague view are brought together in a clear Personal Development Guide, so the conversation moves from abstract self-awareness to a focused action plan.

THE JOURNEY
Insight only matters when it changes what happens next.
01
Measure
The Heartstyles Indicator creates a data-led snapshot of current behaviour through a 10–15 minute self-assessment, with optional 360° feedback from up to 15 colleagues.
02
Activate
Facilitated programmes help people understand why they respond as they do, unpack their Personal Development Guide and choose more effective behaviour — especially under pressure.
03
Cultivate
Coaching, team practices, practical communication tools and regular re-measurement turn insight into a sustained development journey rather than a one-off event.
EMBEDDED IN THE ORGANISATION
Identify. Integrate. Enhance.
We begin with the organisational need — whether that is leadership capability, team dynamics, resilience, inclusion, or a stronger feedback and learning culture. We then connect Heartstyles to the systems already shaping behaviour: values, onboarding, coaching, talent, performance and manager development. Re-measurement makes progress visible and helps the work evolve with the organisation.
As a Heartstyles global partner and ambassador, Tidal can shape anything from a focused leadership experience to a multi-year employee journey, supported by accredited practitioners, executive coaching and internal champions.
