Programme
PRESENCE UNDER PRESSURE
One programme. Three levels of depth.
Executive presence training for leaders and teams facing board presentations, difficult Q&A and other moments they cannot script.
Presence Under Pressure is available at three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold expand the scope, practice and support, allowing organisations to choose the depth that best fits their people, priorities and objectives.
Develop greater awareness, adaptability and embodied presence when it matters most.
Live, facilitated 90-minute sessions · In person or online.
Choose your level
Choose the depth that fits your organisation.
Every level is built around the same embodied approach to presence, combining awareness, body, voice and adaptive communication. As the programme deepens, participants gain more time to practise, integrate and apply the work in everyday professional situations.
BRONZE
A focused starting point.
One focused session develops three priority capabilities around the group’s most immediate pressure moments. It provides a practical introduction to the Presence Under Pressure approach that can stand alone or become the starting point for deeper work.
Best for: Teams that want a focused, low-commitment starting point or support around one immediate challenge.
Format and outcome
- 1 × 90-minute facilitated training session
- 3 priority capabilities selected for the group
- Practical exercises applied to relevant work situations
- Techniques participants can use immediately
SILVER
Practice that builds momentum.
Three connected sessions create space to develop six priority capabilities, practise them under increasing pressure, reflect between sessions and apply them to the situations participants actually face.
Best for: Teams that need more than a one-off intervention and want visible progress across several connected capabilities.
Format and outcome
- 3 × 90-minute facilitated training sessions
- 6 priority capabilities developed and combined in practice
- Guided practice and reflection between sessions
- Realistic pressure-testing during and between sessions
- Application to real workplace situations
GOLD
Deep integration into everyday work.
Our most comprehensive Presence Under Pressure experience. Five connected sessions are supported by guided practice and learning resources designed to carry the work beyond the training room and into everyday professional life.
Best for: Organisations seeking the deepest level of development, with greater continuity, reinforcement and long-term integration.

- Full Presence Under Pressure framework
- Guided between-session practice
- Everyday presence exercises

How the programme works
Practice that transfers beyond the training room.
01
Recognise
Notice the physical, vocal and behavioural patterns that appear under pressure.
02
Practise
Build specific capabilities through structured voice, breath, movement and interaction exercises.
03
Pressure-test
Rehearse those capabilities in realistic, unscripted situations.
04
Transfer
Connect the practice to the conversations, meetings and challenges participants actually face.
More than feel-good team bonding.
Organisations and their people are navigating faster change, greater complexity and rapid technological shifts, including AI. As roles and expectations evolve, distinctly human capabilities — clear communication, resilience and responsive collaboration — become more important.
Presence Under Pressure draws selectively from vocal technique, breathing, movement, Pilates, NLP-informed coaching and improvisational theatre. Every method is used for a specific practical purpose.
What the work builds and measures
- State regulation under pressure
- Faster recovery after disruption
- Stronger listening and adaptive response
- Observable behavioural markers agreed with the client
The result is development that can be evaluated beyond participant enjoyment, supporting employee resilience and reliable collective performance.
Customisation
Built around the situations your people actually face.
Within the chosen level, we shape the focus around the situations, people and capabilities that matter most to your organisation. Five sessions is our maximum programme length: enough repetition for meaningful integration while remaining practical to organise inside a company.
We start with
Your pressure points.
Your people.
Your working context.
