Who we are
Owen Consulting Services is a Brisbane based consultancy dedicated to creating spaces where new possibilities can emerge.
In everything we do we believe that tomorrow is the result of our actions and decisions today. We believe in humanity and the human spirit, and our potential as human beings to be innovative, creative, wise, resourceful and compassionate. The way we support and foster this potential is by working with executives, teams and organisations to create spaces for learning and change.
We offer custom designed and facilitated programs, from key note speeches to half and full day sessions, up to full day multi-month interventions which enable leaders and their teams to work through issues and challenges in a safe and supportive process that leads to greater insights, new partnering skills and higher levels of candour and caring.
The ability to work together interdependently is one of our least developed skills yet one that is most vital. The communication skill of connecting with others – and creating the emotional space for others to open up – requires deep trust. Without trust, leaders and teams struggle in achieving extraordinary results.
Our consultancy work and programs are supported by a range of scientifically validated measurement tools to improve effectiveness, create insight, elevate conversations, enhance engagements and create success for executives, teams and organisations.
We are a boutique consultancy of skilled, experienced and deeply committed consultants, contractors, coaches, and facilitators who are passionate about making a positive difference in the world and enhancing the ability to work together interdependently to achieve extraordinary outcomes. Owen Consulting Services is the natural consequence of this on-going passion to assist executives, teams and organisations to create safe and supportive spaces where creativity, innovation and potential can be nurtured and directed towards achieving the results you truly want.
We practice and use the skills and approaches we teach others so we can have integrity and substance as agents and catalysts of change.
Our clients are from both the public and private sectors. In the public sector, Owen Consulting Services has a rich background across local, state, federal and GOC levels. We have worked in broad cross sections of industries and sectors including human services, education, health, infrastructure, not-for-profit, planning and delivery, utilities, policy development.

in a more conscious, intentional and strategic way”.

Our Philosophy
We are living in a time of transition and profound change .................
It is a time characterised by painful endings and hopeful new beginnings. We believe that part of the chaos that we’re experiencing is because our systems, our ways of working together and our organisational structures for the most part have been designed and conceived for a different time, for different circumstances and different challenges. The solutions we need to develop to address our current challenges, whether as individuals, groups or organisations, is not more of the same.

Our Symbol - The Lotus
Our principal symbol is the "Lotus". The "Lotus" represents the intention that is instilled in our work and into the services we provide. The "Lotus" is a powerful and ancient image symbolising harmony, illumination and unlimited potential.
"Symbols are not a sign of the ordinary; they are images of an invisible spirit
and have a meaning far beyond themselves. When words are inadequate
symbols provide their own language of communication".
- Carl Jung
