Partnering with organisations to bring out the best in their people.

The Face
Behind The Brand
I'm Effie Burrell, Founder of Synergea.
With over 35 years working for blue chip companies in leadership roles, almost 20 of those in people development, I partner with organisations to solve real business challenges and improve performance through smart, people-centred solutions.
I’ve led award-winning, impactful learning strategies; supporting thousands of colleagues through transformation, culture change, leadership development, and performance improvement.
I have a deep belief in the power of learning and skills to enable both people and organisations to thrive.
My approach blends creativity with commercial thinking, and a people first mindset, focused on what will work best for you and your people. From consultancy to delivery, I bring insight, experience, and a collaborative style that gets results.
Whether you’re navigating a major change, building capability, or want to create a standout employee experience, I can help you turn insight into action and learning into lasting impact.
Think of me as an extension of your team and let’s work together to bring out the best in your people!
