The curriculum

The 6 modules.

You move between them in whatever order your week demands. A difficult conversation can send you back to self-awareness, and a failed initiative often turns out to be a systems issue.

  1. 01See Clearly

    See Yourself

    Executive Presence · Greater self-awareness

    Leadership begins with the ability to notice what is happening within oneself while remaining engaged with external reality. Self-awareness includes values, emotions, assumptions, triggers, habits, identity and the effect of behaviour on others. Executive presence is not merely image or confidence; it is the ability to remain attentive, clear, congruent and intentional, especially under pressure.

  2. 02Influence with Integrity

    Read Others

    Relational Intelligence · Better relationships

    Leadership happens through relationships. Reading others means developing curiosity about another person's perspective, motivations, concerns and context without claiming to know their inner state. Relational intelligence combines self-awareness, listening, empathy, trust, communication, feedback, inclusion and the ability to address disagreement directly and respectfully.

  3. 03Navigate Wisely

    Understand the System

    Systems Leadership · Systems awareness

    A leadership challenge rarely exists in isolation. Decisions and behaviours are shaped by incentives, structures, relationships, history and informal norms. Systems leadership expands the field of view from "Who is the problem?" to "What conditions are producing or sustaining this pattern?" — without removing personal accountability.

  4. 04Navigate Wisely

    Navigate Complexity

    Political Intelligence · Better decisions

    Political intelligence is the ability to understand context, interests, power, timing, relationships and constraints so a leader can act effectively without abandoning integrity. Complexity arises when information is incomplete and priorities conflict — the task is to make a thoughtful choice, explain its rationale, and remain willing to adapt.

  5. 05Influence with Integrity

    Influence

    Mobilise the System · Stronger relationships

    Influence is the capacity to help people understand, choose, coordinate and act toward a meaningful outcome. Formal authority is rarely sufficient by itself. Ethical influence combines credibility, listening, clear communication, shared purpose, negotiation and accountability for commitments.

  6. 06Deliver Impact

    Transform

    Lead with Impact · Sustainable results

    Transformation is the disciplined movement from insight to behaviour, from behaviour to execution, and from execution to outcomes that matter. It includes reviewing evidence, learning from failure, and embedding useful changes so progress does not depend entirely on one individual.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is this a personality test or a diagnostic tool?+

No. The AI coach doesn't assign fixed labels or clinical traits. Any reflective lens it offers is plain-language and optional. The coach's job is to ask good questions, not hand down verdicts about who you are.

What happens in the human coaching sessions?+

Six 1:1 sessions with a certified coach, virtual or in-person, each tied to one of the six modules. You start from your baseline and finish with a 90-day continuation plan.

How is my progress actually measured?+

Your initial assessment sets a baseline across self-awareness, influence and impact. Daily coaching, completed sessions and journal reflections each nudge those scores on your dashboard. It's not a number you get once and forget.

Can I change plans later?+

Yes. Start Self-Guided and move to Guided or Premium whenever you want human coaching sessions added.

What happens to my data?+

It's only ever used to run your coaching programme — never sold, never used for advertising. A short list of named administrators can see your name, email and progress; your AI coach conversations, journal and reflections are never shown to anyone. See the full privacy notice for the details, including what's shared with a payment provider if you're on a paid plan.
