Aspirational futures
through grounded action
Starry-Eyed Pragmatics works with patent and trade mark attorneys to improve people and leadership skills across the intellectual property profession. Through executive coaching, skills training and leadership development we support our clients to bridge the gap between their aspirational ideals and real-world implementation.

Starry-Eyed Pragmatics has people at the heart of everything we do. We provide coaching, development and consultancy to intellectual property firms on a variety of people-related matters.
In our consultancy work, we work with firms to provide people-focused services such as leadership development, meeting and workshop facilitation, wellbeing and menopause consulting, employee feedback surveys and forums.
In our public training courses, we work with groups and individuals to provide training in people and leadership skills. We offer a selection of training options, from 1-hour workshops, to short 3 session courses, and through to longer leadership courses held over several months.
As coaches, we work with individuals on a one-to-one basis, as well as teams and groups. Our coaching services include several validated psychometric assessments, appropriate debriefing sessions and follow-on coaching, where required.
Not sure what you need? We can help identify the solutions required based on the challenges you are facing or the results you want to achieve.

"People are your most valuable asset. Only people can be made to appreciate in value."
Stephen Covey

We partner with intellectual property firms, as well as individuals working within these firms. Each client, from individuals through to large multi-jurisdictional firms possesses unique challenges and ambitions. Our tailored approach ensures we deliver impactful solutions, regardless of size or legal service specialism.
We have particular experience working in and with owner-partner-led intellectual property firms and understand the unique pressures that they face.

We believe in being...





Each client we work with, individual or organisation, is a unique combination of the necessary technical expertise for their field and their own personality, and we love that. Within the regulatory and legal requirements you work in, being true to who you and your business are should be embraced because that is one of your key commercial advantages.
At Starry-Eyed Pragmatics, being both aspirational and practical is not just a name.
We are professional, and personable.
We are serious, and light-hearted.
We are educators, and learners.
We are realists, and dreamers.
This makes us a bit different and the perfect partner for anyone who wants to build individual or firm success in intellectual property by embracing authenticity.
