Jeremy Limpens has spent thirty years at the sharp end of human behaviour — and that sharp end has looked very different depending on the day. Emergency departments in Vancouver. Arctic communities in Canada's far north. Humanitarian warzones in East Timor and Sudan. Remote Aboriginal communities in the Australian outback. Maximum security prisons. Corporate boardrooms. Flight nursing in weather that made the patients look calm. Cruise ships. Alpine ski slopes. And the occasional bar in a dodgy port town.

Across every setting, one thing remained constant — people are complicated. Staff and patients. Leaders and teams. Organisations and the humans inside them. Messy, resilient, surprising, and occasionally spectacular in their capacity to both damage and repair each other.

Jeremy consults, speaks, facilitates, and writes. He works with organisations navigating conflict and complexity, individuals carrying stories they haven't known what to do with, and anyone willing to have an honest conversation about what it actually means to lead, heal, or simply show up in difficult circumstances.

No map. No tidy answers. Just thirty years of noticing — and a few things worth saying about it.

Corporate Consulting
Jeremy works with organisations and individuals navigating complexity, conflict, and the messier aspects of human behaviour. Corporate consulting covers leadership, workplace conflict, difficult conversations, workplace investigations, and HR challenges. All of it grounded in thirty years of experience across sectors most consultants have only read about.

Speaking

From TED talks to boardrooms to fundraising dinners, Jeremy brings thirty years of frontline experience to the stage. His presentations draw on healthcare, leadership, conflict, and the tragicomical reality of being human in complex environments. Engaging, honest, and occasionally confronting — the kind of talk people are still discussing on the way home.

Private Practice

Jeremy works with individuals and groups on a private basis, drawing on thirty years of clinical, executive, and frontline experience. One on one sessions, group facilitation, dispute resolution, divorce and separation, trauma informed care — grounded in psychology, human behaviour, and the honest belief that mind and body are never as separate as we pretend.

Writing and Narrative Reframing Therapy

Writing — the pathway to health, healing and discovery. Jeremy offers workshops and retreats exploring writing as a tool for reframing experience, processing difficult chapters, and finding meaning in the stories we carry. Evidence based. Clinically grounded. Genuinely transformative. Writing — the pathway to health, healing and discovery. Evidence based. Clinically grounded. Genuinely transformative.

A Tale Told by an Idiot

A tragicomical memoir in progress. Extracts, observations, and the occasional philosophical detour from thirty years of stumbling through the human condition with more instinct than strategy, across different workplaces, sectors, countries and behind closed doors. Updated regularly. A front row seat to the absurdity of human behaviour.

Jeremy's unconventional life

Team performance   

Jeremy's real life experience and stories inspire people to re-examine their views in relation to their approach within an organisation, and to be more creative and resourceful. 

Resilience 

Working across multiple sectors, ranging from low budget projects amidst human suffering to well-resourced corporations, Jeremy noticed an interesting theme when it came to workplace stress: it had very little to do with the context, and everything to with the attitudes of leaders and staff. 

Jeremy has well-proven methods for improving resilience among employees that not only reduce stress, but improve team relationships and even prevent disease. 

Leadership   

Working in some of the most challenging environments with limited resources, Jeremy learned important lessons in regards to leadership and team performance. 

Jeremy is an expert in regards to re-thinking how we lead in any circumstance, and how to inspire people to be their individual and collective best. 

Conflict

Conflict in the workplace is common. But what seems to be equally common is a lack of effective skills that are necessary to prevent and resolve conflict in the workplace. 

Jeremy's experience across multiple sectors in 15 different countries gave him excellent insights into how to deal with challenging people, and which communication techniques should be applied in difficult conversations. 

Communication  

Jeremy's experience with confronting situations taught him the necessary communication skills to deal with the most challenging of people. 

His quirky stories and methods help participants understand the importance of effective communication in the workplace, and how to influence the right people at the right time.
