How it works: Two tracks. One programme.
The Hearth isn't a curriculum. It's a field of practice.
1 SELF-LEADERSHIP: LIBERATING YOURSELF
You can't lead the room without personal coherence
The recent MIT Sloan EPOCH study identified critical qualities in a world of rapid technological change, including presence. Being present doesn’t mean being calm. It means staying in contact with a challenging reality without losing clear direction. This capacity can be developed through five dimensions of personal coherence:
A
Awareness
Recognising the patterns driving you into achieving instead of being.
What's it like to be you right now?
L
Leadership
Making choices from coherence, not reactivity of habitual impulses.
What do you really want?
I
Identity
Relating to yourself and your challenges with acceptance, so you can move into coherence.
Who are you without the performance mask?
V
Vision
Honouring and expressing your vision, values, and voice beneath the achiever identity..
What really matters to you?
E
Embodied impact
Staying close to direct experience, living from relaxed alertness, and creating ripples of coherence.
What is your ROI (Ripple of Impact) when you're not in the room?
2 ROOM LEADERSHIP: LIBERATING OTHERS
You can't lead a room where no one is present: room coherence
Personal coherence allows you to stay in contact with your own experience and release performance pressure. Room coherence is the capacity of a group to face an uncertain reality, without falling into reactivity or dysfunctional culture, so the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
What becomes possible in a room is shaped by tone. When room tone is coherent — neither too tight nor too loose — new possibilities can emerge and be acted on.
THE PROGRAMME FLOW:
Eight sessions. Live situations.
The Hearth is an experiential programme for leaders who want to move beyond competence into coherence — developing concentration, contact with experience, and equanimity under pressure.
80% experiential and 20% reflective, each session combines brief insights with live practice using real situations brought by the group.
Session 1:
Sensing the room: stabilising attention under pressure
Session 2:
Shaping the room: creating safety without performance
Session 3
Bringing your vision: clarifying voice, values, and direction
Session 4
Relating to yes, no, maybe: moving from control to curiosity and clarity
Session 5
Navigating conflict: relating across polarisation, power, and politics without losing contact with self or other.
Session 6
Timing interventions and unifying disruption: tolerating silence, slowness, and tension before acting
Session 7
Landing safely: holding boundaries while staying connected.
Session 8
Integration: stabilising leadership beyond identity performance.
If you want to change the world, start with the room - and enter with coherence.
