EXPANDING WHAT’S POSSIBLE FOR LEADERS AT THE EDGE
MISSION
Develop leaders who perform under pressure by changing what they believe is possible, using evidence from the world's most extreme environments.
Decades of research from space missions and polar expeditions have mapped what it takes to lead through ambiguity, uncertainty, and high stakes. We translate those findings for leaders in tech, space, and science, where the same conditions show up in different forms.
We take what works at the edge of human performance and turn it into practical leadership development: building resilience, sharpening decision making, and equipping teams to perform when the pressure is highest.
MEET CAROLINE CLARK
Caroline is a leadership coach, analogue astronaut, and space psychology researcher. She works with leaders and teams in tech, space and science to change the beliefs holding them back.
Her proprietary framework, Belief OS®, draws on critical social psychology and systems thinking to go beyond individual performance — looking at how leaders are shaped by, and shape, the teams, cultures and systems around them. Beliefs don't just live in your head: they're held in place by everything around you.
Her research includes independently published studies on imposter phenomenon in Product leaders and the interaction effects of gender and feedback on task performance. She contributes regularly to The Psychologist, the magazine of the British Psychological Society.
She holds a first-class honours degree in psychology from the Open University and has studied executive leadership development at Saïd Business School, Oxford. She is now retraining as an organisational psychologist, with a research focus on space psychology — how people lead, perform and make decisions under extreme pressure. Before this, she spent 13 years in senior tech leadership as a Product Director, scaling teams from 1 to 100 and launching more than 30 products to market.
Caroline is a TEDx speaker who delivers keynotes and training for organisations including the Royal College of Surgeons of England, RICOH, Sage, and Mind the Product. She mentors startup founders on the UK Space Agency's LEO accelerator.
