How Well Do You Know Your People?
What If You're Wrong?
A One Day Masterclass in Pressure Literate Leadership
Your engagement scores look fine.
You've spent a small fortune on wellbeing initiatives
Your best people are already looking for the door (they just haven't told you yet)
​
You can sense something is not quite right with the team, the department or the organisation as a whole. You just cannot name it.
​
I can.
There is someone on your team right now who is doing the work of two or three people. They have not told you. They will not tell you. They will just quietly hold it together until one Tuesday morning they hand in their notice and you will say you never saw it coming.
There is a meeting in your diary this week where everyone will agree with the plan. And a corridor conversation afterwards where they will say what they actually think.
There is an exit interview sitting in a file somewhere that says exactly the same thing as the one before it. Different name. Same words. Nobody connected them.
There is a manager on your team who has not had an honest conversation with their team in months. Not because they do not care. Because they are drowning too, and nobody has noticed.
And somewhere in your building there is a person who went home last night and cried. Not because they are weak. Because the system has been pressing on them for so long and nobody has ever acknowledged it. And they do not know how to say it without looking like they cannot cope.
I know this because I have been inside this pattern for 30 years. I have been the leader carrying it. I have been the practitioner treating the damage. And I have seen, thousands of times over, that the problem is never the person. It is always what nobody upstream has read.
None of this shows up in your engagement survey. All of it shows up in your costs.
What this masterclass actually does.
This is not a wellbeing day.
I am not going to tell your leaders to be more resilient. That is like teaching someone to hold their breath longer instead of fixing the thing that is suffocating them.
I am not going to hand out stress balls and pretend that counts as leadership development.
And I am not anti-wellbeing. Mental health awareness matters. But wellbeing without structural change is a sticking plaster on a fracture. You need both. One without the other is theatre. And most organisations right now are running a very expensive theatre and wondering why nothing is changing.
This masterclass teaches your leadership team to read pressure. The invisible, systemic, structural kind that is driving everything you are firefighting.
Pressure Literate Leadership is a governance capability. It sits alongside financial literacy and risk literacy. Your leaders can read a balance sheet. They can read a risk register. After this day, they will be able to read the pressure that is costing you more than both.
What your team walks away with.
THE SEVEN TRUTHS YOU NEED TO KNOW
A permanent framework for reading how pressure operates. Not theory. Pattern recognition built from 30 years inside and outside pressured systems. These truths are universal. They work in every sector.
THE SIX EARLY WARNING SIGNS
The signals pressure always leaves before it becomes a crisis. Same signs. Same order. Every organisation. Once you can read them, you cannot un-read them.
THE THREE PRESSURE QUESTIONS
Where does pressure enter your system? Where does it concentrate? Where does it leak? Three questions that will change how you read every absence, every resignation, and every team that is "just going through a rough patch."
THE WELLBEING VS STRUCTURE TEST
Are you treating symptoms or removing causes? A simple test you can apply to every initiative, every intervention, every response. Because one without the other is theatre.
THE 30 DAY COMMITMENT
One structural change, named out loud in the room. Accountable. Specific. Because knowledge without action is entertainment, and you did not book this day to be entertained.
What the day feels like.
Seven truths. Each one opens with a story you will recognise. Not because I have been inside your organisation. Because the patterns are identical everywhere.
The woman who was described as irreplaceable. Until she resigned and they discovered she had been doing three people's jobs for two years.
The team where everyone scored the culture 8 out of 10 in the survey. And every single one of them said something completely different in private.
The manager who dismissed a piece of feedback, then dismissed it again, then watched three people go off sick because the thing they tried to tell him was real.
You will hear these stories and you will think: that is us.
That is the point.
Then I teach the skill behind it. Then your table applies it to your own organisation. By lunchtime, your team will be calculating what invisible pressure is costing them. By the close, someone in the room will look at you and you will both know: we cannot pretend we did not see this.
The format:
Full Day - Approximately 6 hours of facilitated content plus breaks and lunch
8-30 participants, round tables
Scenario led, exercise driven, honest conversation.
No jargon. No consultancy speak.
No egos.
Delivered on your premises or at a venue of your choice.
Who needs to be in that room.
Leaders who are done pretending everything is fine and throwing money at wellbeing initiatives that are clearly not working.
​
The CEO who knows something is off but cannot prove it. The HR director drowning in cases and desperate to find the pattern underneath. The senior manager who just lost their best person and is terrified the next one is already halfway out the door.
​
If you are ready to get uncomfortable, get honest, and get your hands dirty, I want you at one of my tables.
​
If you need someone to tell you everything is fine, I am not your person. And I never will be.
​
Leave your ego at the door. Bring the truth. That is where the work starts.
​
Every sector. Every size. Pressure does not care about your org chart.
Why me.
Because I have been on every side of this.
​
I have been the leader who worked herself into the ground for a system that did not notice until I broke. I have been the practitioner who spent years treating thousands of patients whose bodies were carrying the fallout of pressure nobody upstream had ever read. And I have led teams in environments where pressure was not a concept, it was survival.
​
I did not study pressure. I survived it. I treated it. And then I built a framework so other people do not have to.
​
When I walk into your organisation, I am not guessing. I am reading.

The maths that matter
One case study in this masterclass shows an organisation of 350 people.
They spent £12,000 a year on wellbeing. Awareness days, mindfulness app, resilience webinar.
The same year, they lost £427,000 to pressure nobody had diagnosed.
£12,000 treating symptoms. £427,000 leaking out the other side.
This masterclass costs less than a single mis-hire. The question is not whether you can afford it. The question is how much it is costing you not to have it.
What happens after.
That is entirely in your hands and your choice.
Some leaders leave looking through a new lens, start taking action immediately with what they have learned.
​
So leaders find that this training is just the beginning and want more of a detailed picture on their specific organisation and how Pressure Literate they are right now. They want the data and they want the truth.
​
For leaders who are ready for the data the next step is The Pressure Gauge Diagnostic to see exactly where the hidden pressure is sitting in the organisation and who is absorbing it.
​
Either route is a choice.
​
There is no pressure to continue this work following the masterclass.
​
Pressure never disappears. It either becomes visible, or it becomes expensive. Which one is yours doing right now?
