For 16 years the Blacksmith Team worked to forge better leaders for New Zealand.
Driven by our purpose of making our world a better workplace, we worked with thousands of executives and leaders at all levels across the country to shift their organisation's culture and performance through human-centred leadership.
Over our 16 years of operation, Blacksmith was always evolving and progressing. From our initial focus on broad based culture and performance, down to the leadership that facilitates and guides both those things. From an employee-based business model, to one with a team of fantastic associate facilitators. From partnering with others to deliver their world leading IP to creating our own.
Over the past few years we've continued that evolution, combining it with the insights and 'life by design' decisions of our founders Kate Billing and Paul Leacock. Out of this work has come a new direction and business focus: the Fully Human development of Executive Teams and Senior Women Leaders launched in April 2024 as katebilling.com.
With that, Blacksmith was quietly retired in November 2024 with much gratitude to the team members, clients and leaders who joined us for the adventure and with many MANY great memories and stories.
