This is not open-ended coaching. It is a precise, bounded process — you know what each session produces, and what you walk out with at the end.
Most coaching is conversation-shaped: you talk about what's wrong, you get some clarity, you leave with a plan. The plan addresses the symptom. The pattern reasserts itself — because what was generating it was never touched.
This process is structured differently. Five sessions over 90 days — each doing a specific job in sequence — drawing on psychosynthesis, narrative therapy, NLP, Immunity to Change®, HeartMath, nervous system coherence work, systemic constellation work, and executive coaching frameworks. Not used for their own sake. Each has a specific role at a specific point. You can't do session four without session two. The sequence is the method.
If the shift hasn't happened in 90 days, we'll work with you for free until it does.
Session one is a mapping exercise. We identify the single lever with the highest systemic impact right now — surfacing the compound patterns between different areas of your business or leadership and naming the one that's generating the most drag. Most people arrive thinking they know which area is the problem. Session one usually names a different one.
From there we go into the Origin Fingerprints Map™: a structured narrative reflection on the story of this specific pattern — from its roots to today. Not therapy. A contextualising exercise. Where did this begin? How did it develop? And where do you stand now, in the full context of your own story?
By the end of session one, you have a map. Not just of the symptoms, but of the system generating them — with the story behind it that explains why it looks the way it does, and where to focus next.
This is the core of the process. Using the Immunity to Change® methodology, we work through the four-column ITC map to uncover the hidden competing commitment: the subconscious belief that's been actively working against every effort you've made to change the pattern.
The ITC process is not comfortable. It will surface something that has been true for a long time, that you've been acting on without knowing it, and that explains with uncomfortable clarity why the drift has persisted despite your best efforts. This is not a failure. It's the most useful thing you can find.
We introduce HeartMath breathing in this session — a specific technique for working with the nervous system activation that happens when you encounter your hidden assumption. You leave session two with one instruction: sit with the insight. Do five minutes of HeartMath breathing every day, especially when thoughts about the assumption activate. Don't try to fix it yet. Just notice.
You've sat with the hidden assumption. You've noticed when it activates. Now we design micro-experiments — small, low-risk actions that test whether the assumption is actually true.
The ITC process is specific about this: you don't fight the assumption. You test it. The assumption survived this long because it was never properly examined — it ran beneath conscious awareness, shaping decisions without being questioned. The micro-experiments give you evidence. Real evidence, from your own life, about whether the thing you've been acting on is actually the case.
The experiments are designed together in the session. They're small enough to run between sessions three and four, and specific enough to generate usable data about the assumption's actual truth value. Most clients are surprised by what they find.
We review what the experiments found. With the hidden assumption tested — and in many cases significantly weakened — we can now build a credible picture of what comes next.
The core exercise in session four is future self visualisation: a structured, specific contrast between two futures. The version of you who flipped the drift — what that looks like across all ten areas, what your relationships look like, what your body feels like, what work feels like, five years from now. And the version of you who carried the drift forward — what that costs, concretely, across the same ten areas, over the same five years.
"Future me is a stranger" is a real insight from identity research. Most people feel genuine emotional distance from their future self, which is why short-term comfort consistently wins over long-term change. Making the future self concrete and vivid — both versions of it — closes that distance in a way no goal-setting exercise does.
Most coaching focuses on the individual. This session zooms out and makes the broader organisational system visible — the structure of relationships, roles, historical forces, and dynamics that shape decisions from outside conscious awareness. Sometimes the pattern driving the ceiling isn't in the individual at all. It's in the system.
Using a structured constellation exercise, we represent the key elements of your business system spatially: the people, the roles, the alliances, and the forces between them. Patterns that have been felt but never named tend to emerge quickly in this format. It's a precision instrument for organisational dynamics — not a soft exercise.
The output is a field map of the system as it actually operates — not the org chart version. From that map, we identify the leverage points: the two or three specific shifts in role, relationship, or structure that would change how the whole system moves.
Most change efforts work at the narrative level: you identify a belief, you challenge it, you try to think differently. This works, up to a point. But the hidden assumption is not just a thought. It's a physiological state — a pattern of emotional activation that fires before you're consciously aware of it.
HeartMath's research on heart-brain coherence provides a direct route to that state. The five-minute breathing practice taught in session two is not a relaxation technique. It's a tool for engaging the nervous system when the assumption activates — creating the physiological space in which new thinking is actually possible.
Certified HeartMath coach. The practice takes less than five minutes. Most clients notice a difference within the first week.
Sessions are available face-to-face in Tshwane or online throughout South Africa — both equally. For the in-person work, there's a quality to the dynamic that many clients prefer, particularly for sessions two and four. Online delivers the same process and the same outcome. You choose what works for your schedule.
WhatsApp support between sessions is included in the core package. You won't be left to sit with a difficult insight alone. Between sessions two and three specifically, there's often a lot to process — and that support is there.
Sessions one and two can be relatively close together. Sessions two and three need enough space between them for the HeartMath practice to bed in and the micro-experiments to run. Typically 2–3 weeks. The full programme runs over 90 days.
Theo will respond within 24 hours to discuss whether the programme is the right fit for where you are right now.
