We're Not Just Another Training Company - We're Family
When you work with Aspirin, you're not dealing with corporate hierarchy or faceless consultants. You're working with a family business that's built around one guiding principle: that when you invest in people with honesty, integrity, and genuine care, extraordinary things happen.
We Understand - We've Lived It
We're not theorists. Susannah Brade-Waring, our founder, helped grow a technology company from startup to £10 million management buyout. She's navigated the same challenges you face - hiring, culture, scaling, tough decisions. Her insight isn't from a textbook; it's from the trenches. That's why our programmes feel practical, not academic.
We Focus On People, Not Processes
We blend decades of research in psychology, motivation, and leadership with practical business insight. Our diagnostic tools reveal what's really holding your team back.
We don't apply a template; we uncover what matters for your business, your team, your challenges.
We Actually Care About Your Success
We measure success by whether your culture shifts, your team performs, and you enjoy running your business again. We've turned down business because it wasn't the right fit. We give charities discounts because we believe impact matters more than profit. We mentor local leaders for free through the Dorset Mentoring Scheme. That's who we are.
Meet the team behind Aspirin: Susannah, our founder and 'Business Motivator', is one of just seven senior global Motivational Maps® practitioners and designs all our programmes. Her husband, Heath, our 'Client Whisperer', brings 30+ years in client relationships and keeps operations running smoothly. And their eldest son, Kyle, our 'Digital Overlord', joined at 16 and has transformed how we work - leading our digital innovation and driving our successful pivot to online delivery.
Together, they're "the ultimate business dynamite team", individually strong, but stronger together.
