ABOUT
UNLOCQ
Unlocking leadership potential,
one mind at a time
At Unlocq, we believe effective leadership isn’t just about what you do it’s about how you think. Our work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, organisational development, and leadership strategy.

We help leaders operate with clarity under pressure, lead with presence, and create cultures where people don’t just perform, they thrive. Led by Emma Chandler, a leadership strategist and neuroscience-informed coach with over a decade of experience supporting organisations through leadership transformation, Unlocq exists to unlock the full leadership potential in individuals, teams, and organisations. We combine rigorous science with real-world application. Every insight, every tool, every conversation is designed to move leaders, and the systems they’re in, forward.
What we do
Unlocq is a leadership consultancy delivering executive coaching, leadership development programmes, and strategy support all grounded in neuro-based methods. We partner with senior HR, People Leaders, and Executive Teams who are serious about building leadership capacity that actually meets the complexity of today’s business world.
Our work supports:
-
Organisational design and people strategy
-
Leadership capability building at every level
-
Culture change and team effectiveness
-
Executive coaching aligned to business performance
-
Micro and macro learning interventions that stick
We don’t just develop leaders, we help shape the environments they lead in.
Who we work with
We work with progressive, people-focused organisations who understand that leadership isn’t a luxury, it’s a strategic necessity. From scale-ups navigating rapid growth to established enterprises redefining culture, our clients value:
-
Evidence-based approaches
-
High-trust, high-calibre partnerships
-
Long-term leadership impact, not just short-term fixes
We coach and train leaders at every level, but our consultancy focus is best suited to companies investing in sustainable, system-wide leadership growth, from team leads to the C-suite.
Why neuroscience
Because leadership is a brain-based activity. Our approach draws from cognitive science, behavioural psychology, and applied neuroscience, giving leaders insight into how their brains process stress, make decisions, form habits, and shape culture. This means the work we do:
-
Helps rewire unhelpful patterns, not just manage them
-
Supports self-regulation and resilience under pressure
-
Aligns leadership behaviour with organisational strategy
-
Builds emotional and cognitive agility, at scale
Neuroscience isn't just a lens, it’s a lever for more effective, human-centred leadership.
