"School of Thought. Body of Practice. Space for Learning." Yorkshire-based not-for-profit, pioneering Whole Person Learning and responsible leadership development for over 40 years.
The Oasis School of Human Relations is a radical not-for-profit organisation dedicated to developing individuals, groups, and organisations through a Whole Person Learning approach. Founded in the 1980s, Oasis works with the person, the systems, and the interactions between them, grounded in principles of self-actualisation, self-direction, and choice.
Oasis operates as a community of specialist coaches, facilitators, and organisational development consultants with over 40 years of experience in human relations practice. The organisation's methodology is rigorous and grounded in ongoing action research, applicable across all life-work contexts. Central to their approach is co-creative partnership with clients, working on a peer-based model that acknowledges the whole person in learning and development.
The organisation's commitment to globally responsible leadership is embedded in its core mission. Oasis develops empowered, engaged individuals and organisations committed to people, the planet, and purpose beyond profit. Through coaching, consultancy, programmes, and the Oasis Resilience and Wellbeing network, the organisation works both globally and locally to co-create networked, responsible organisations.
Oasis is a pioneering partner of the Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative, connecting with over 70 global companies and schools. The organisation's distinctive focus on integrating personal development with systemic responsibility, combined with its emphasis on transparency, accountability, and ongoing practitioner development, positions it as a relevant contributor to the GRLI community's mission of catalysing globally responsible leadership and practice.
