Turning organisational values into everyday achievement

Founded in 2018 by organisational sociologist Dr Zoe Young, Half the Sky is a consultancy that gives leaders of large workforces the tools to build stronger, better workplaces when the stakes are high. 

 Clients work with us when they want an accountable partner. We're the extra brainpower, experience and know-how that helps leaders make strategy real – and make it stick. 

Combining in-house, Big Four, and academic experience into practical actions

Making workplace improvements sounds simple – but in reality, it’s anything but. People are complicated, organisations are complex, and quick fixes rarely last.

Combining Dr Zoe Young’s unique experience with the best independent consultants in the field brings the kind of joined-up thinking that's rare in this space. The academic rigour to learn from evidence, the operational experience to know what works in practice, and a supportive partnership to help you make it happen. 


My background is in academia as an organisational sociologist. I’ve spent over 25 years helping large organisations improve belonging, productivity, and performance.

My mission is to turn evidence-based methods into real-world, practical tools that transform behaviours across organisations.
