One full circuit of the framework, worked at pace — for a leader who wants the work done properly, and does not want to spend nine months doing it.
Not everyone who needs this work is in a position to give it nine months. Some are between roles. Some have a decision in front of them with a date attached. Some simply want to know what governs them before committing to a longer passage — which is a reasonable thing to want.
The Intensive exists for them. It is a complete circuit of the framework: all four phases, in order, two sessions each. Nothing is skipped. What differs from the Executive 1:1 is not the depth of the work but the elapsed time and the degree of bespoke customisation — and I would rather say that plainly than dress it up.
The promise is specific, and it is the whole promise: you leave knowing the configuration that governs how you lead, where it fails under pressure, and what to practise about it.
Not a transformation. A map, an honest diagnosis, and a practice. What you then do with sixteen weeks' worth of self-knowledge is entirely your business — and some people, having got it, come back for the longer arc.
What has stopped working, and the honest reckoning with why. The Pressure Inventory lands here.
The pattern becomes visible. A written Pattern Note follows — two pages, and usually uncomfortable to read.
Insight begins converting into capacity. This is where the practice is built, and where it first fails.
Integration under load, and the Practice Architecture — what you will actually do, after I am gone.
| Duration | Sixteen weeks |
| Sessions | Eight sessions of ninety minutes, fortnightly — twelve contact hours |
| Arc | One complete alchemical circuit; two sessions per phase |
| Diagnostics | Elemental self-diagnostic and Pressure Inventory, re-run at close with the delta |
| You receive | Opening Elemental Profile · Pressure Inventory synthesis · two-page Pattern Note · two-page Practice Architecture |
| Between sessions | Assigned reading and a structured reflection log. No between-session access. |
| Fee | Set out in full in the prospectus. Payable in full, or in two, three or four instalments at no premium. |
It is not the cheaper option. Per contact hour it costs more than the Executive 1:1, because it carries no volume commitment — the longer engagement is better value, and if value per hour is your criterion, take that one.
It is not crisis coaching. If you are under a live performance process, facing imminent derailment, or in acute distress, this is the wrong instrument and I will decline it at the fit call.
It carries no organisational interface, no stakeholder input, no sponsor and no between-session access. If your employer wants to pay, the work routes to Vantaris Consulting instead, under a different architecture.
The Intensive is new, and its design will be reviewed against the first several enquiries. I would rather tell you that than pretend it has run a hundred times. The framework beneath it has been in development for three years; the container is recent.
Thirty minutes. We establish what you are actually carrying, and whether this work is right for it. If it is not — and sometimes it is not — I will say so and point you elsewhere.
