For senior leaders and executives

See what becomes more — and less — available to your attention under pressure.

The InnerSense Pressure Scan is a focused way to explore how attention, interpretation and response interacted in a real leadership situation that felt difficult, uncertain, disappointing or off track.

Rather than assessing personality or capability, the Scan starts with your experience of a specific situation and looks for patterns in what you noticed, what felt important, which interpretation became convincing and what became harder to see as events unfolded.

Your responses are analysed and translated into a personalised InnerSense Snapshot and written report.

The report offers working hypotheses, not a diagnosis or score. Its purpose is to make aspects of your own pattern visible enough to question, test and learn from.

What it can help you see

The Scan may highlight:

• what your attention organised around as pressure increased;

• what felt important to achieve, preserve or protect;

• where assumptions began to substitute for evidence;

• which perspectives remained available and which became harder to access;

• how your interpretation shaped the response that followed;

• where a valid signal may have become entangled with the story formed around it.

It can be used as a standalone piece of insight or as the starting point for deeper work.

Pressure Scan — Insight

For leaders who want a focused, independent view of their pattern under pressure.

Includes:

• InnerSense Pressure Scan based on one live leadership situation;

• individual analysis of your responses;

• personalised written report and InnerSense Snapshot;

• 30-minute report orientation to explain the findings, framework and any questions about what the report contains.

The orientation is designed to help you understand the report rather than explore the situation developmentally in depth.

Pressure Scan — Deep Dive

For leaders who want to understand the pattern more fully and explore what it may mean for their leadership.

Includes everything in Pressure Scan — Insight, plus a 90-minute confidential debrief.

Together we test the hypotheses against your experience, distinguish signal from interpretation, explore what may have moved in or out of view and consider what additional evidence or perspective could create greater choice.

The aim is not to tell you the “correct” interpretation. It is to understand the reality from which your response made sense — and identify what else may become available when that reality is examined more closely.

Want to work with the pattern over time?

Where the Scan reveals a recurring or consequential pattern, it can become the starting point for a Strategic Attention Partnership.

The Partnership combines the Pressure Scan and full debrief with five further sessions over approximately three months, using live leadership situations to test assumptions, generate new evidence and strengthen judgement under pressure.

Strategic Attention Partnership from £4,200 + VAT.

For senior leaders and executives

Move from self-monitoring to strategic attention.

A focused developmental and advisory partnership for leaders navigating consequential situations involving uncertainty, influence, visibility, transition, organisational politics or change.

The work is designed to improve judgement by making visible what is shaping attention, interpretation and response — particularly where several explanations remain possible, familiar approaches are no longer producing the intended outcome, or the same pattern appears to be recurring.

How it begins

The Partnership starts with an InnerSense Pressure Scan and full debrief, focused on one or two live leadership situations.

Together we explore:

• what first entered attention;

• which interpretation became convincing;

• what felt important to achieve, preserve or protect;

• what became easier or harder to notice;

• whose perspective and judgement carried weight;

• how your response shaped what happened next.

The aim is not to replace your interpretation with mine. It is to make the pattern visible enough to test, widen the available evidence and create greater strategic choice.

What happens next

Once the pattern and desired outcomes are clearer, the work becomes practical.

Depending on the situation, sessions may combine structured inquiry, coaching, advisory input, research-informed teaching, Predictive Leadership™ and InnerSense™ tools, preparation for live leadership situations and small experiments designed to generate new evidence.

We use current experience to test whether familiar assumptions are recurring, what may be changing and whether different choices are becoming available.

The aim is to help you notice earlier, interpret more accurately and act with greater choice when it matters.

Particularly useful for

Senior leaders who are:

• navigating a consequential decision, transition or period of uncertainty;

• receiving feedback that does not fit how they understand their leadership;

• seeking greater influence without losing their judgement or values;

• carrying responsibility in ways that may be limiting delegation or collective ownership;

• repeatedly encountering the same organisational or relational pattern;

• trying to distinguish a valid signal from the story forming around it.

Typical outcomes

Outcomes are specific to the leader and situation, but may include:

• clearer understanding of what is shaping judgement and action;

• earlier recognition of pressure patterns;

• greater distinction between signal, interpretation, evidence and assumption;

• stronger alignment between leadership intention and experienced impact;

• more accurate understanding of other people and the wider system;

• clearer boundaries around personal and shared responsibility;

• more deliberate use of expertise, influence and authority;

• greater confidence in testing rather than defending an interpretation.

Progress is reflected in what you notice earlier, what you can now question and which choices become available under pressure that were previously harder to access.

Typical format

Six sessions over approximately three months, beginning with the InnerSense Pressure Scan, personalised report and full debrief.

Longer or ongoing Executive Advisory arrangements are available where appropriate.

Investment

From £4,200 + VAT, depending on scope, duration and level of advisory support.

Continuing the work

Some leaders choose to continue with a light-touch Strategic Attention Review after completing the Partnership.

These 45-minute monthly sessions provide protected thinking space to examine emerging situations, test interpretations and recalibrate attention before familiar patterns become established.

Investment: from £350 + VAT per month, with a minimum three-month commitment.

For executive teams, boards, and leadership cohorts

Improve the quality of judgement before action locks in.

When pressure rises, attention can narrow, assumptions harden and familiar explanations become more convincing. Decision Quality Under Pressure helps leaders recognise what is shaping judgement before a response becomes fixed.

Participants work with realistic or live leadership situations to explore:

• what first entered attention;

• which interpretation became convincing;

• what pressure made easier or harder to notice;

• what felt important to achieve, avoid or protect;

• how those factors shaped communication and action.

The workshop introduces Predictive Leadership™ and practical tools for distinguishing signal, story and strategy, testing assumptions and preserving judgement under pressure.

Useful for
Executive and senior leadership teams, boards, leadership cohorts and functions operating in complex or high-pressure environments.

Typical outcomes
A shared language for decision quality; stronger questioning of assumptions and apparent certainty; greater recognition of how pressure affects judgement; practical tools that can be applied immediately.

Format
One-day, in-person workshop. Typically 10–30 participants. Executive-team and board applications can be tailored around a live decision or organisational challenge.

From £5,000 + VAT.

For management and leadership teams

See how pressure is shaping judgement, coordination and performance in practice.

A one-day experiential diagnostic, delivered in collaboration with Hi-5 Events, for teams that want evidence of how they actually operate when ambiguity, time pressure or competing demands increase.

Using carefully designed team challenges, individual reflection and live observation, the Diagnostic compares what the team intends to do with what becomes visible in practice.

The activities are engaging and team-based, but the purpose goes beyond team building. The aim is to identify the patterns affecting judgement, participation, coordination and delivery — and make them visible enough to test.

What it examines

Depending on the team and context, the Diagnostic may explore:

• what the team prioritises as pressure increases;

• how quickly the group moves from exploration to commitment;

• how confidence, authority and role expectations affect participation;

• whether silence is treated as agreement;

• which relational, emotional or contextual signals influence decisions;

• whether responsibility becomes centralised or distributed;

• how immediate delivery is balanced against wider consequences;

• where intended ways of working differ from observed behaviour.

The purpose is not to classify individuals or create a fixed team profile. Findings are treated as working hypotheses about situation-level patterns.

How it works

The Diagnostic typically combines:

• a short pre-day pulse;

• structured team challenges, co-designed with Hi-5 Events;

• individual reflection during or after activities;

• live observation of how the team engages, decides and adapts;

• facilitated reflection on what became visible;

• analysis of recurring team-level patterns;

• a concise report and sponsor debrief.

Bringing participant reflection and direct observation together allows the team to examine not only what happened, but what may have shaped it.

Particularly useful when

• decisions are becoming strained, slow or repeatedly revisited;

• the team is busy but coordination remains difficult;

• challenge or weak signals are not surfacing early enough;

• authority or role dynamics may be limiting contribution;

• delivery pressure is crowding out wider strategic attention;

• there is a gap between how the team intends to work and how it operates;

• leaders want evidence before commissioning a larger intervention;

• the team needs more than another generic team-building day.

What the team receives

A concise, evidence-informed view of:

• dominant attentional patterns under pressure;

• recurring narrowing or protective responses;

• gaps between intention, self-perception and observed behaviour;

• signals or perspectives that appeared to carry less influence;

• conditions that widened the team’s field of attention;

• implications for judgement, coordination and delivery;

• practical shifts to test in live work.

Typical outcomes

The Diagnostic can help the team develop:

• a clearer understanding of how it operates under pressure;

• earlier recognition of patterns affecting judgement and coordination;

• more open discussion of confidence, authority and responsibility;

• greater awareness of what helps the team remain exploratory;

• practical changes that can be tested immediately;

• a clearer view of whether deeper development would add value.

Format

One-day, in-person team diagnostic, including pre-day preparation, live observation, facilitated reflection, concise post-event report and sponsor debrief.

Delivered in collaboration with Hi-5 Events, with experiential activities tailored to the team and context.

Investment

From £8,000 + VAT, depending on team size, design, preparation and reporting requirements.

Where deeper work would add value, the Diagnostic can provide the starting point for a Strategic Attention Lab, targeted work with the team leader, or individual InnerSense Pressure Scans.

For executive, management and leadership teams

Recognise recurring patterns earlier — and create greater choice when pressure begins to narrow collective judgement.

A multi-session developmental process for teams that want to understand not only what happens under pressure, but how to work differently when familiar patterns recur.

Using live organisational work, structured inquiry and practical experiments, the Lab examines how the team notices, interprets and responds when priorities compete, expectations diverge or something important feels at risk.

Where the Pressure & Performance Diagnostic provides a concentrated view of how the team is operating now, the Lab creates time to recognise, test and change recurring patterns through real work.

What the Lab explores

Depending on the team and context, the work may examine:

• what the team collectively prioritises under pressure;

• which perspectives, risks or signals remain visible — and which become harder to hold in view;

• how confidence, authority and responsibility are distributed;

• where assumptions begin to replace inquiry;

• how task, team and strategic needs are balanced;

• what happens when expectations diverge;

• which recurring patterns affect trust, coordination and execution.

The focus remains on situations, decisions and relationships that matter to the team now.

How it works

The Lab begins with an agreed leadership or business challenge and develops through a series of facilitated sessions applied to live work.

Depending on the scope, it may combine:

• individual InnerSense Pressure Scans;

• exploration of selected leadership situations;

• structured team reflection;

• Predictive Leadership™ and InnerSense™ concepts and tools;

• testing of assumptions and competing interpretations;

• practical experiments between sessions;

• review of what changed, what did not and what the team is learning.

Where appropriate and explicitly agreed, anonymised individual patterns can also be brought together to identify themes across the team.

Particularly useful when

• the same tensions or misalignments keep recurring;

• decisions become slow, strained or repeatedly revisited;

• delivery, people and strategic needs are difficult to hold together;

• authority or responsibility becomes concentrated in a few individuals;

• assumptions remain unspoken or challenge is avoided;

• the team is navigating significant change, ambiguity or competing priorities;

• intended collaboration and experienced impact are diverging;

• previous team development has changed behaviour temporarily without reaching the underlying pattern.

Typical outcomes

The Lab can help a team develop:

• earlier recognition of collective pressure patterns;

• clearer distinction between signal, assumption and evidence;

• more open exploration of competing interpretations;

• stronger shared responsibility and coordination;

• better use of different perspectives;

• greater alignment between leadership intention and team impact;

• more deliberate responses when pressure narrows attention;

• practical ways of improving decision quality through live work.

The Lab concludes with a Team Strategic Attention Plan: an agreed set of practices for directing and reallocating attention, testing assumptions and sustaining better collective judgement.

Typical format

Usually four to five facilitated sessions, delivered over time and applied to live organisational work.

A typical sequence may include:

Field — identify what is currently organising collective attention
Patterns — surface recurring interpretations and responses
Discrepancy — examine what happens when expectations and reality diverge
Reallocate — test where attention, authority or responsibility may need to move
Integrate — embed learning through live work

The precise design is agreed around the team's context, objectives and existing pressures.

More concentrated Leadership Intensives can also be designed for executive teams where appropriate.

Investment

From £12,000 + VAT, depending on team size, duration and the level of individual diagnostic work included.

Where the underlying pattern is not yet sufficiently clear, a Pressure & Performance Diagnostic may provide the most useful starting point.
