About Cru

Cru is a consultancy. We support you to be the leader who makes the difference. We can work with you, your team, and your organisation. We help you grow your capacity and confidence.

Our Story

We were very mindful when we chose the name Cru (pronounced Crew) in 2017 that it needed to encapsulate our purpose. We chose a French word, not to be clever, but because it reflects our openness to different cultures. Cru has several meanings. Belief. Growth. Rawness. Supporting clients in their growth involves helping them with the unfiltered thoughts and raw emotions that always arise as we grow.

Our Values

Tailored

You and your organisation are unique. We tailor our support to fit your specific culture, context, personality, aspirations and goals.

Collaborative

We work with you. We listen deeply; we encourage you to articulate your needs; we share opinions; we are honest and transparent.

Supportive

We are on your side. We are non-judgmental and non-critical. We accept all of you – the great, and the not so great.

You may want to grow your leadership so you can make the difference, in more contexts, more often. You don’t want airy-fairy ideas. You want evidence-based, researched methods that work, are relevant, are easy to understand and are highly practical.
