Career coaching

If you want to make a difference for animals, people and the planet - then hello partner, you've found your people. 

Interconnection is key

 

The difference you hope to make in the world will be more successful if your approach is interconnected.

Why?

Because understanding how we're all connected is key if you want to make a real difference in the world. Without it, you'll end up frustrated, uncertain and believing that things will never change.

To make a difference you need to give care AND take care. Which is why we connect animal wellbeing with the wellbeing of people and the planet so that you can take care and give care through a truly interconnected approach. Like this, you can overcome challenges, find opportunities and make a difference for animals and for yourself - today. 

Benefits of an interconnected approach to wellbeing

Connect and create

We are stronger together. When we feel connected, respected and cared for we are able to create positive change for all through meaningful collaboration. When we unite from a culture of care and respect people, animals and the planet can flourish.

Take care and give care

No one really shows you how to care for yourself. You're told you need to, but where do you start? Understanding the importance of taking care, how do to so, and how it protects the wellbeing of all is key if we want to feel good while doing good.

Problem solve

Do you want to be part of the problem or the solution? Approaching problems systemically makes it easier to see solutions and overcome challenges by addressing root causes. Goodbye uncertainty and frustration, hello clarity and confidence.

Take action

Having more information and knowledge is great - but it only creates change if you put it into action. The benefit of an interconnected approach is that you'll know how to approach a challenge, even if it's unfamiliar. Then you have a road map for actual action.

Our purpose is to promote a culture of care and respect so that the wellbeing of all can flourish 

Who do we work with?

 

In a nutshell, we work where humans and animals are. We collaborate with individuals and organisations around the world to provide accessible learning opportunities that promote optimal care for animals and the people who care for them.

Whether it's assessments, audits, programs, policies, designs or staff morale, through an interconnected approach you can overcome complex challenges, improve collaboration and support optimal wellbeing for all.

Who are we?

 

We're a small team of six people trying to make positive change in the world. What kind of change? 

When it comes to talking about people, animals and the planet, you'll find a lot of technical terms, lofty goals and crazy long to-do lists that never get done. 

We want to introduce new language and a fresh approach so that together we can take action in a way that matters for each individual animal and person - whilst protecting the planet we share. 

Our approach is underpinned by evidence-based science and research, but we also want to introduce compassion and care into a world that is too often focused on the measurable over the meaningful.

Investing in training and capacity building for both caregivers and animals is essential for meeting our animal, staff and visitor wellbeing mandate. Thus, it is a pleasure to support the mission of AnimalConcepts.
