About

I’m Craig Thompson. I founded Vibrant in 2015 out of a deep sense of frustration with the working world.

I’ve worked across a lot of different industries, in a wide variety of roles and lived in four different countries. Seeing the system both from the eyes of an employee and the eyes of an employer trying to attract, develop and retain staff made it clear to me that the world of work is broken.

But, it doesn’t have to be.

Work can be great and can-do great things – both for those who run companies and want them to be profitable, and for those who work to make them that way.

Employers who take the time to cultivate great career experiences benefit in the areas of talent attraction, acquisition, attendance, performance and retention.

Ultimately the research shows those employers outperform their competitors and are more profitable for it.

Meanwhile employees can benefit from financial stability, the psychological benefits of team connection/ belonging to something bigger than themselves, the self-esteem and confidence that comes from a job well done and a way to make a positive impact in the world – a purpose.

To quote Viktor Frankl, the Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor,

“He who has a why to live can bear with almost any how.”

Our vision is a better working world. Better for both employers and employees. We strive to find organisations who want to become Vibrant Workplaces and help them get there.

“Vibrant coaches, Craig and Colin in my case, have provided extremely practical training to address usual
company challenges and also, have provided us with methodologies and frameworks to make our teams high performing and motivated. The cherry on top of their training is the coaching sessions they provided along with it.”

With their focus on effective, objective driven leadership and with robust coaching and mentoring we were able to boost skills but most importantly confidence of our management staff.
