vita-brevis is a small organisation with an unduly large influence. We have worked with many of the people who will be leading organisations through the coming decades. Founded in 1999 by Anne Lonsdale and James Cope, vita-brevis is based in Scotland and works with clients from across the UK and beyond.

Anne Lonsdale, with a background in retail, recruitment and management consultancy, identified a need for integrity-based learning which would focus on the power of the individual to lead change and excellence. She leads all workshops and coaches clients. Anne is also an enthusiastic yoga practitioner and teacher.

James Cope supports Anne and deals with technical and IT matters. He enjoys finding solutions and designs vita-brevis events with Anne. James is also a farmer and is involved in farming and ecological advice.

vita-brevis also draws on an extraordinarily varied team of specialist facilitators, many from quite surprising areas of expertise, to produce events which are challenging, stimulating and fun.
