About MindStage

​

The Home of LIGHT™ — Leadership’s In-the-Moment Ally

MindStage exists to close the gap between what leaders intend emotionally and what people experience. It’s not fixing a “problem” most leaders consciously admit to; it’s addressing the invisible drift that creeps into workplaces — where competence replaces connection, and people stop feeling seen.

​

We build emotionally intelligent methods that leaders can actually use under pressure.

Not theories. Not lectures. Rehearsable habits of trust.

Founded by Nick Haswell, MindStage brings together facilitators, psychologists, actors, and senior leaders who share one belief:

​

Emotional intelligence should be lived, not taught.

Through immersive workshops, forum theatre, and emotionally intelligent coaching, we help teams turn awareness into action — and performance into presence.

​

Our Approach

We don’t teach leadership. We stage it.

Using The LIGHT Method™, we help leaders rehearse high-stakes moments — feedback, tension, reset, repair — until emotional clarity becomes second nature.

​

Our approach blends:

🧠 Psychology – grounded in behavioural science and emotional safety
🎭 Theatre – bringing real conversations to life in vivid, safe ways
💬 Leadership Experience – facilitators who’ve lived the moments they now help others navigate

​

Every workshop builds trust, clarity, and connection — where it matters most.

​

Who We Work With

MindStage partners with leaders and teams across:

• Global brands and FTSE organisations

• Universities and education providers

• Corporate sectors

Wherever pressure, performance, and people intersect — LIGHT™ belongs.

​

Our Impact

Leaders leave our workshops with:

✅ Confidence to handle any difficult conversation
✅ Emotional clarity under pressure
✅ Stronger trust and connection across teams

“Within two weeks, our executive team’s clarity in meetings improved dramatically.”
— Early Adopter, Private Sector Executive Team

​

Why MindStage Exists

It started with a simple question:

"How can I make people feel better at work?"

That question became a method.
The method became a movement.

​

After years in corporate leadership, I realised the problem wasn’t competence — it was connection.

​

LIGHT™ was built to bring that connection back.
Simple. Human. Actionable.

Because when we see the person, not the problem, leadership changes everything.
