TIDAL Global Ltd

TIDAL (Trauma Informed Development and Learning) is a specialist leadership development and organisational consultancy that supports modern organisations to build cultures where people and performance thrive together.

We work with forward-thinking employers who recognise that sustainable performance cannot be achieved without psychological and physiological safety. In a world of rising pressure, burnout and complexity, TIDAL enables leaders and teams to understand how stress, uncertainty and lived experience shape behaviour, communication and decision-making at work.

Our approach brings together trauma informed leadership, neuroscience and positive psychology, creating a robust, evidence-based model for leadership development that is both human and high-performing. We do not simply teach skills or behaviours, rather we help leaders retrain their nervous systems so they can lead with clarity, empathy and authority under pressure.

As an approved Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Centre, TIDAL delivers accredited leadership qualifications alongside courses, workshops, consultancy and bespoke programmes. Every offer is designed to strengthen psychological and physiological safety first, then optimise performance, engagement and growth.

At the heart of TIDAL is the belief that behind every leader, manager and team member is a human being with a nervous system and a story. When leaders understand this, organisations become calmer, more connected and more effective. Conflict reduces, trust increases and people are able to perform without fear.

Our work enables organisations to:

•Build psychologically safe, emotionally intelligent cultures.

•Reduce burnout, absence and turnover.

•Improve communication, confidence and leadership consistency.

•Lead change and pressure without escalation or disengagement.

•Create sustainable, strengths-based performance.

TIDAL’s work is anchored in its Five Pillars of a Trauma Informed Organisation:

• Trust and Transparency
• Integrity and Inclusion
• Development and Growth
• Awareness and Empathy
• Leadership Through Connection.

Together, these pillars provide a practical framework for embedding safety, accountability and performance across organisations.

Founded by Caroline Strawson, a Chartered Manager, Companion of the Chartered Management Institute and global voice in trauma informed leadership, TIDAL combines lived experience, academic rigour and real-world leadership expertise. This rare blend allows us to work credibly at every level, from frontline managers to executive teams.

We partner with organisations across sectors to move leadership away from pressure-led models and towards cultures that are resilient, regulated and human-centred by design.

This is not a wellbeing initiative.

It is a strategic imperative for modern leadership.
