Human Intelligence, run one to one

Human Intelligence is guided practice on empathy as a practical skill, starting with yourself. This is the same programme, worked one to one, with the track built around the decisions you are actually carrying.

Who it is for

Leaders, founders and professionals who know something is not working

You are commercially competent, possibly successful, and there is a gap between the impact you want to have and the impact you are having. You care about the people your decisions land on, and the frameworks you have been given feel either too soft to use or too technical to be human.

Your calendar is largely decided by other people, so you are making real decisions from a state nobody has asked you about. You have a change in mind, in a role or a venture or a way of working, and it keeps not happening. You would rather be told something accurate than something encouraging.

What the work is

The inner two spheres, traced through a real decision of yours

Most people think they already understand empathy. Two hours with the method usually shows them they had it backwards. Understanding it and living it are different things, and closing that gap is what the programme is for.

The work runs through the first two spheres. The Vulnerable Self is what actually drives you, including the parts you are too busy to unpack. The Conscious Self is your capacity to act on it, which covers what state you are in when you decide and what you do differently on Monday morning.

You bring a real decision. You leave deciding differently.

Why one to one

The group version asks for six consecutive weeks

The cohort runs weekly for six weeks with eight to twelve people. That shape works when your diary is your own. For most of the people who ask about it, six consecutive weeks is the thing that never happens.

Run one to one, the programme keeps its content and loses its scheduling. Sessions move when your week moves. The track is built around your situation rather than around what a group of twelve has in common.

What a place includes

What happens in a month

One sessionNinety minutes, live, booked to you and moved as often as you need.We take one decision and work it properly rather than covering four topics lightly.
Voice notesBoth ways, no schedule, no obligation to reply quickly.I ask for voice rather than text because tiredness and hesitation are audible and do not survive being typed. That is a large part of what I am listening for.
OptomizeThe AI coach built on this method, for the decisions that arrive at 2am.It asks what I would ask and it does not get tired.
Your practice reviewedSend recordings of yourself using a skill with real people.If you cannot record at work or at home, we design a real activity instead. This is how you find out whether you can do it rather than whether you understood it.
Every skill drillNinety minutes on one skill, monthly, in a small group.You score yourself before and after, so there is data rather than a feeling about how it went.

Monthly sessions with a continuous voice channel survive hospital weeks, travel, and a fortnight where the wheels come off. A weekly slot does not, and when it fails it tends to feel like your failure rather than the format's.

Where this sits

You do not have to start here

EUR 50A skill drillNinety minutes on one skill, in a small group, with a hot seat. Drop in when you can. See the board.
Your timeNinety days of practiceYou leave a drill with your lowest score and one thing to work on. This part is free and it is where the change actually happens.
EUR 200SupervisionYour recorded practice reviewed in depth, with a voice response. This only works on top of the ninety days.
EUR 600A coaching placeEverything above, monthly, plus a live session and a continuous channel. Five at a time.

Most people come through the drills first, and that is the sensible order. When a coaching place frees up, people who have been turning up to the drills are offered it first.

Places and price

Five places, because five is what I can hold properly

1 of 5 taken

Five is the number I can carry alongside the rest of the work and still turn up properly.

EUR 600 a month. No minimum term. Stop whenever you want.

Billed monthly in arrears. Drills and supervision are included here, and cost EUR 250 a month bought separately. If the number does not work for you, say so plainly, and there is a smaller version.

Straight about this

What it will not do

It will not give you more hours. If the schedule is the problem, the work is deciding what to stop, which is a harder conversation than a productivity system.

It will not be comfortable every time. The space is safe and it is not always comfortable. I will ask the question you are steering around, gently, and I will still ask it.

It will not work on accountability alone. I am not going to chase you. If a month goes by because your life went sideways, that is the format working. Nothing changes in a month where nothing changes.

How to start

Thirty minutes, no charge

Bring one decision you are not sure you are getting right. No preparation. If it is not useful inside those thirty minutes, do not take a place.
