Healthy Organisations focuses on understanding how people operate within systems and using that insight to improve how organisations function.

The work draws on systems thinking, leadership dynamics, organisational culture, and the relationship between environment and resilience.

Our approach is grounded in observation rather than assumption, structure rather than abstraction, and meaningful dialogue.

Jacqui Coward

Jacqui Coward is the founder of Healthy Organisations and co-founder of ECAT, the European Center of Adventure Training.

Her work sits at the intersection of leadership, organisational development, and applied learning, with a focus on understanding how individuals and teams operate within organisational contexts, and using that insight to strengthen how people and systems function in practice.

She holds a Master’s degree in Leadership and has over seven years of post-secondary education focused on leadership and organisational development. Her background combines academic study with practical application across both corporate and experiential environments.

This includes work in data collection and analysis within community-based projects focused on shifting behavioural norms, as well as experience in leadership development, coaching, and programme design.

In addition, her work in outdoor therapeutic and addiction recovery environments has shaped a deep, practical understanding of resilience, including how behaviour, communication, and decision making emerge under real conditions, and how these dynamics can be translated into organisational settings.

Originally from Canada and now based in Switzerland, her work brings together structured insight and applied experience across both organisational and experiential contexts.

Where relevant, work can extend into experiential team-building events through ECAT (European Centre of Adventure Training), allowing insight to be explored through practical, applied experience.
