Our Practice
One Degree is a leadership advisory working on the relational system beneath the strategy.
We partner with senior leaders, boards, and executive teams in complex environments where unexamined dynamics quietly determine outcomes.
Our practice is grounded in relationship systems intelligence, adult development theory, behavioural science, and mediation. We examine leadership as a systemic response — shaped by context, culture, and relational dynamics, not individual performance.
In complex systems, one degree of recalibration changes trajectory.

The thinking behind One Degree
Thouraya Sayess, Founder
Having worked across 100+ nationalities at the highest levels of organisations, Thouraya has watched the same pattern: intelligent, ambitious leaders constrained not by strategy or capability, but by relational dynamics — the part leadership textbooks don't teach.
One Degree is the distillation of what she's learned: transformation is relational before it is structural, one degree of recalibration changes trajectory, and rigorous work happens at the edges of what we're still navigating ourselves.
She brings this to her work with boards and executive teams, and to programmes she designs at London Business School and Oxford Saïd Business School.
