I’m Tom Emery, founder of HEX, a people performance consultancy that helps organisations and leaders create sustainable behavioural change and high-impact performance. We work nationally and internationally, partnering with senior teams, ambitious leaders, and organisations navigating complexity, growth, or cultural transformation.
HEX exists to help leaders think clearly, act with intention, and build cultures where people and performance thrive.
Our work includes:
Everything we design is practical, human, and grounded in real organisational challenges rather than theory that fades after the workshop.
After years as a Chief People Officer in PLC and private equity-backed organisations, I saw the same pattern. Development work felt energising in the moment but didn’t lead to long-term change. Leaders were supported, but the impact was limited and short-lived. Organisations were not being intentional enough about ensuring their people and teams reached their full potential. The result of this mindless approach was that their commercial results were below where they should have been.
I founded HEX to change that.
HEX was built on a simple philosophy: developing people should be impactful, a fantastic experience, and genuinely sustainable.
My interest in how people think, behave, and lead under pressure led me into coaching and facilitation. HEX gives me the opportunity to combine strategy, psychology, and lived c-suite leadership experience to create development that truly sticks.
From the beginning, we have prioritised listening, diagnosis, and bespoke design. We do not use templates or one-size-fits-all programmes. Everything is built for the client’s real context and with impact at its core. This approach has helped HEX grow through trust, recommendation, and long-term partnerships.
Today we work across financial services, logistics, manufacturing, technology, and professional services, amongst others. Many of our strongest relationships began with a single coaching engagement that grew into multi-year leadership development work.
HEX delivers everything from one-to-one executive coaching to full leadership pathways and culture change programmes. Our approach blends:
This combination helps leaders challenge unhelpful habits, practise new behaviours, and sustain change through real work.
At the start, say yes to everything. I was too fussy. Try things out. Some things you will enjoy, some things you won’t, but you’ll learn where you can make real impact and where your value is. And you’ll build some fantastic relationships along the way that open up new opportunities.
Price with confidence. Underpricing signals uncertainty and undermines your expertise. Clarity and conviction matter.
Seek challenge, not comfort. The biggest shifts at HEX have come from honest conversations and people willing to push my thinking.
HEX focuses on creating sustainable impact rather than offering quick fixes. Their programmes are built around your specific challenges and use your organisation's language. The coaching is conversational, honest, and led by facilitators with real-world leadership experience, ensuring the lessons stick long after the session ends.
Their coaching is for senior leaders and ambitious teams aiming to create lasting cultural and behavioural change. If you're looking for clarity, confidence, and practical tools to improve performance, their approach is built to support you.
You can expect tangible, sustainable change. The goal is to help you and your team embed new habits and behaviours that drive real organisational impact. This includes building high-performing, aligned teams and developing self-awareness that leads to confident leadership.
HEX uses a blend of methods to make sure new skills are applied immediately. This includes psychometric tools to build self-awareness, facilitated discussions for team alignment, and action learning to tackle real-world challenges. This practical approach helps you embed new habits straight away.
HEX provides a focused range of services including one-to-one executive coaching, comprehensive leadership development programmes, team development workshops, and strategic HR consultancy. Each service is designed with your unique culture and goals in mind.
