• In the world of human performance, Henry stands out as the epitome of excellence. As a company with a diverse range of talents and backgrounds, it was crucial for us to invest in our most valuable resource to fulfil our mission – our people. Henry swiftly assessed our unique requirements and crafted a tailored human performance package that demonstrated a deep understanding of our company's needs and the necessity to optimise the potential of every team member.

  • I have witnessed first-hand Henry's systematic and sustainable approach to enhancing operational availability, despite challenging financial, time and resource constraints. His success is down to his attention to detail and taking the time to understand the culture, beliefs and demands of those he serves in order to build trust and deliver highly impactful interventions that generate exceptional results.

  • For over four years Henry worked at the forefront of elite military performance and played a key role in establishing a unique, novel human performance programme.

  • I worked with Henry in preparation for the Talisker Whisky Transatlantic Row Challenge. My team subsequently won the whole competition by a massive 168 mile lead. I can highly recommend Henry’s services for any high performing team. His diligence, professionalism and empathy with both my training requirements but also the pressures of my work schedule were truly excellent start to finish.

  • Henry immediately immersed himself within our organisation, taking the time to understand its culture and the individuals within it. Combining this with his knowledge and experience of human performance from professional sports, he helped develop personal and organisational interventions in order to influence behaviours and drive culture change, consequently increasing availability and performance across the unit. This was achieved with his characteristically positive and professional approach, which allows him to engage and work across wider Specialist Military Groups.

Our story

I’m Henry Cheetham, the Founder of Elite Human Solutions.

Over the past decade, I have led human performance teams in two of the most successful cultures in the world; New Zealand rugby and UK Special Forces.

I helped slash injuries to record-low levels within professional NZ rugby, whilst creating and leading a pioneering culture change program within UKSF.

I worked with world record-setting mountaineers, 1st place transatlantic rowers and pioneering deep-sea startups.

I also built a diverse network with some of the world’s most successful teams, including Team GB, Google, Red Bull, Cirque Du Soleil, and the UFC.

Through these experiences, I gained deep insight into how the world’s most successful teams got there.

How they attract, engage and retain the best people. And how they create cultures that MBA grads use as case studies.

The problem

Only 1 in 10 people are engaged at work.

And businesses are losing 20% more talent than before the pandemic.

Quite simply, companies are fighting to attract and retain the best talent like never before.

Yet 4 out of 5 companies cite ‘leadership gaps’ as their main challenge.

With only 8% viewing their leadership pipeline as ‘excellent’.

With unprecedented competition for talent, changing generational expectations, economic instability, and remote work the new norm, it has never been harder to build high-performing teams and culture.

Yet your company’s future may depend on it.

What we do

Every one of your competitors is fighting to attract, retain and unlock the best talent.

We teach you how the world’s most successful teams, such as the NZ All Blacks and UK Special Forces, do this.

Then we work with you to achieve it.

We work with a small number of companies and teams to unlock their full potential.

If you think we might be a good match, we’d love to hear from you.
