Give peace a hand

In a world of conflict, it can be hard to know where to start to bring colleagues, classrooms and communities together.


Undiscovered Country has a proven track record of turning conflict into cooperation. 


By understanding better who we are and how we interact with those around us, we can become better team players in more effective teams.


And be happier and healthier in the process.


If you are ready to give peace a chance, get in touch so we can show you how.

WHICH CHARACTER ARE YOU?

All of us are some mix of these eight peace and conflict personality types.  Undiscovered Country's profiling tools and programmes can help understand, identify and measure the conflict within and between us and the people we work/learn/play/live with.

WHAT OUTCOMES CAN YOU EXPECT?

However you choose to use us, our toolkit and approach help you and your team develop the skills, habits and dispositions we all need to thrive in a fast-changing world.

WE'VE HELPED HUNDREDS OF ORGANISATIONS JUST LIKE YOURS.

The world of work

We help organisations in the corporate and social sectors deal with the tensions and frictions of managing teams of people.  By identifying people's drives and profiles, we show them how they tick and how they work together as a team.

The world of education

In our education programmes, students and staff alike learn more about themselves and the people around them and develop the skills to deal with the conflict that can emerge between different archetypes.

WHAT THEY SAY...

Roy Leighton could have invented the maxim "practice what you preach". His mastery of combining leading-edge research with creative practical application is without question the sweet spot he delivers. But more than that, Roy carries with him a beating heart for justice and peace that moves from the ideological and philosophical - to the pragmatic and the world-changing. He lights up the room with his passion and enthusiasm and captivates audiences in the board room, the classroom and the playroom. He persuades and guides big business and small communities of practice to tackle the world's wicked problems. Roy is simply a change-maker - fact!

"At Holte School when we initially started incorporating this peace movement into everyday school life it created a massive impact on our daily activities at school including the way we interact with each other...being a Peace Ambassador has given me the chance to have a wider range of discussions that include a broad range of topics related to conflict, peacebuilding and relationships."

"The 24-hour retreat and 101-day Coaching was the most empowering, effective and enjoyable team development we've ever had. The clarity of our shared purpose, related values and drives, and simple systems with feedback have enabled our business not only to survive but to thrive during the pandemic. The many practical strategies for embracing change and transforming conflict have been transformational both in our personal and professional lives. Thank you!"

"The Butterfly Model and Learning Line, developed and delivered by Roy Leighton, are truly innovative and yet also simple, allowing schools to effectively take charge of learning, teaching and leadership, own them and make them sustainable. Not only do outcomes and the end of each key stage improve, but more importantly, children and staff develop an acute love of learning, a desire to take their learning further, and also play, have fun and enjoy school."
Tony Draper
President of the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT)

"I loved talking to different generations. Listening to different stories and experiences really made me feel connected."
