About this site

Insights by Cognisive Consultants is a publication dedicated to exploring the intersections of leadership psychology, intelligence reform, behavioral science, and ethical field practice.
Founded and curated by Alfie Ameer, the platform serves as a home for long-form essays, analytical briefings, and reflective commentary on how trust, authority, and calm leadership can reshape modern systems — from security and governance to animal behavior and organizational design.
Our Purpose
The world often rewards noise over nuance. At Insights by Cognisive Consultants, we aim to reverse that pattern — grounding leadership and reform in clarity, composure, and ethical intelligence.
Our writing draws from real-world field experience, scientific reasoning, and strategic leadership practice, connecting ideas that are usually kept apart:
- Behavioral cues that drive decision-making in both humans and animals.
- The psychology of authority and its role in sustainable governance.
- Lessons from intelligence and field operations that inform modern leadership.
- The ethics of training, communication, and control — across species and systems.
Every article seeks to bridge discipline and empathy, logic and intuition, science and strategy.
Authorship
Alfie Ameer is the Founder & CEO of Vonfidel Group, and Chair of VONFIDEL K9 and Vonfidel Ranch. His work combines field-tested leadership principles with behavioral science to advance humane, intelligent, and psychologically grounded practices in leadership, security, and animal training.
His essays have appeared in Cognisive Consultants Briefings, Vonfidel Group Dispatches, and other institutional platforms that advocate for ethical intelligence and leadership excellence.
Editorial Approach
Insights follows a cross-disciplinary editorial model — merging human psychology, operational ethics, and applied behavioral insights.
Our writing standards emphasize:
- Integrity over influence.
- Depth over virality.
- Evidence over ideology.
We believe meaningful reform — whether in leadership, intelligence, or training — begins with awareness and self-regulation.
