About us

We specialise in transformational development to dramatically improve how individuals, leaders and teams live and work. 

 

Unbounded

At Unbounded, we think we've got a unique combination to bring you. 

We've spent many decades working on ourselves, which means we bring a highly competent assured approach. We have senior-level business backgrounds, and a solid understanding of how organisations work. Twenty years in this field means we have vast experience in many diverse client situations. We've also got an array of different knowledge, tools, methods and approaches to bring to the party. 

In our approach you will experience, what we think is, the perfect balance between: 

  • The transformational and the pragmatic

  • The emotional and the rational

  • The compassionate and the challenging 

  • The flexible and the structured 

  • The spiritual and the scientific 

  • The slow & considered and the dynamic 

  • The passionate and the measured

  • The expert teacher & adviser and the explorative coach

And we bring all the above in a highly client-focused way.

It's not about us. It's about you, your situation, your needs, your evolution, your revolution. We care. We do whatever it takes to help. We go above and beyond. We like to think we're Unbounded. 

The Pragma Group becomes Unbounded

During 2020, we became Unbounded. We wanted a name and brand that more accurately reflects who we are and what we now do.

Since 2008, as The Pragma Group, we specialised in providing classic Executive Coaching services in a ‘pragmatic’ business-focused way. We now provide similar services but in a refreshingly different way by teaching people about the human mind.

We’re Unbounded, because when you truly master your mind, you become ‘unbounded’ - accessing the mind’s unlimited potential.

 “Let us take you by the hand. Let us teach you, coach you, mentor and inspire you.”

Meet Nik

“One of the dramatic changes that happened having gone through the year-long Team Journey, is that everyone approaches conversations with a complete open mind.

The reality is there is no 'should', there is only what's possible.”
