Lion & Mouse is a workplace culture and communications consultancy that helps organisations close the gap between what they say and what people actually experience.
We partner with purpose-led leadership teams navigating growth, change and evolving workforce expectations. Together, we strengthen workplace culture and shape communications that reflect it with clarity and credibility.
The result is stronger reputations, more meaningful social value communications, and belonging that works in practice, not just on paper.
Our purpose: aligning culture and communications
Rebecca Adams founded Lion & Mouse to tackle a growing challenge: the gap between culture and communications. Too often, organisations invest in social value communications before building the internal culture to support their message. This creates a disconnect between what they say and what people experience. Over time, that gap erodes trust, damages reputation, and makes it harder to attract and retain talent.
We close that gap by aligning what organisations say with what people actually experience. When culture shapes communications, not the other way around, organisations build credibility, strengthen reputation, and create workplaces where people genuinely thrive.
Inspired by the fable The Lion and the Mouse, our name reflects the simple belief that meaningful change happens when every voice is given the opportunity to speak up, contribute and be valued, regardless of size, status or seniority.
A VALUES-LED APPROACH TO ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE
Through research and experience, we understand that belonging is not created through statements or policies, but through consistent, everyday actions. This is why we build culture and communications from a foundation of clear, organisation-specific values.
This values-led approach helps organisations create environments where expectations are clear, people feel safe and empowered, and communications reflect real experience.
Our Five Conditions of Belonging provide a practical framework to strengthen culture, support individuals, and communicate values with credibility.
