What is SSC?

Single Session Coaching. One 90-minute catalytic intervention that delivers what most leadership development programmes take six to twelve months to attempt.

We go straight to the hidden pattern driving the behaviour—and we shift it. Fast.

Who is this for?

Leaders and teams who are stuck. Not "looking to develop." Not "exploring options." Stuck.

If you've got a decision you can't make, a pattern you can't break, or a dynamic that keeps repeating no matter what you try—SSC is for you.

We work with CHROs, CPOs, CFOs, CEOs, and transformation directors who need results now, not in twelve months.

Who How does one session actually work?

Most coaching chips away at behaviour over months, avoiding the root cause. We do the opposite. We go straight to the systemic pattern pulling the strings—the belief, the inherited rule, the unspoken loyalty—and we disrupt it.

45-min prep call → We sharpen the focus. What's stuck? What needs to shift?

90-min session → We make the pattern visible, trace it back to its source, and reset the system.

Immediate impact → Leaders walk out lighter, clearer, moving.

It's not magic. It's precision.

Is this therapy?

No. It's business-focused coaching with a systemic edge.

We look at the patterns that drive behaviour—and we shift them fast. The methodology comes from systemic thinking, organisational psychology, and neuroscience. The application is pure business.

If you need therapy, see a therapist. If you need to unstick your leadership team, call us.

This sounds too good to be true. What's the catch?

There isn't one—but there is a prerequisite.

SSC works when people are willing, open, and ready to look at what's actually in the way. If someone's defending their pattern, or the organisation isn't ready to let go of the old story, we can't help.

We're not miracle workers. We're pattern-breakers. If you're ready to see the pattern, we can shift it. If you're not, no amount of coaching will help.

What if I need more than one session?

Most people don't. That's the point.

50% of leaders need only a single session to achieve their goals (research from Single Session Therapy). If you do need a follow-up, we'll tell you. But we're not here to sell you a 12-month arc you don't need.

One session. One shift. If that doesn't land, we'll figure out why—but we won't string you along.

And if you need more than one session for a specific situation—maybe you're not a fit for SSC. We'll be clear about that and point you somewhere else if we can.

Why should I believe one session can do what 12 months of coaching can't?

Because most 12-month programmes aren't trying to shift the pattern—they're trying to manage the symptoms.

Traditional coaching assumes you need time to "build the relationship" and "explore the issue." What you actually need is precision: find the pattern, trace it to the source, disrupt it.

50% of leaders in single-session therapy achieve their goals in one session. Not because therapy suddenly got magical—because when you go deep enough, fast enough, change happens.

We're not asking you to believe us. We're asking you to try one session and see for yourself.

What kinds of issues does SSC work for?

Anything human that's getting in the way of performance.

  • Leadership stuck points

  • Decision paralysis

  • Micromanagement

  • Perfectionism

  • Imposter syndrome

  • Conflict avoidance

  • People-pleasing

  • Team dynamics that keep looping

  • Strategy tension that won't resolve

If it's a pattern, we can work with it. If it's a skill gap (e.g., "I don't know how to build a P&L"), SSC isn't the answer.

Do you work with executives who are "high-performing but stuck"?

Yes. That's most of our clients.

The leaders we work with aren't failing—they're stuck. They're hitting their numbers but burning out. They're making decisions but second-guessing everything. They're leading teams but feeling disconnected.

High performance doesn't mean no patterns. It often means the pattern is hidden behind success—until it's not.

How much does it cost?

A pilot of 3 sessions with 3 leaders costs €7,500 (SG$11,000 or AU$13,000).

That's three leaders, three core behavioural shifts, potentially putting a whopping 5% back on your bottom line.

How do we come up with those numbers? Good question. Based on the research from our good friends at the Leadership Circle in the US.

After the pilot, our pricing structure is based on scale. The more sessions you run, the better the rate.

What's the ROI?

Conservative estimate: 8x–25x per session.

Each hidden leadership pattern costs organisations €350K–€500K annually through lost productivity, delayed decisions, innovation drag, and attrition.

SSC costs €3K–€3.5K per session.

Even one bad decision avoided, one key leader retained, or one team realigned delivers measurable return. If you want to talk ROI in detail, Catherine (our CFO) speaks your language.

Can I try this with one person before committing to a team?

Yes. That's exactly what pilots are for.

Start with 1–3 leaders. See if it lands. If it does, scale it. If it doesn't, we'll tell you why—and you're not locked into anything.

We're not here to sell you a programme you don't need. We're here to fix what's stuck. Try it, test it, decide.

Do you offer team sessions?

Yes—but with a caveat.

Team coaching works best in person, and we're building towards that. We're planning in-person events and team sessions for later in 2026.

If you want to discuss team coaching in the meantime, talk to Ben or Lana and we'll figure out what's possible.

Is it online or in person?

All individual coaching is online. Fast, focused, no travel required.

For team sessions, in-person is often more effective—and that's something we're developing for 2026. If you want to explore options before then, get in touch.

What if someone's not a fit?

We'll let you know. Not everyone has a problem. 20%-300% of leaders are doing great. We’ll let you know, discreetly and carefully.

SSC works best when people are willing, open, and ready to move. If someone's not there yet, we won't force it.

What happens after the session? Do you offer follow-up support?

No formal follow-up is included—but if you need it, we'll tell you.

Most leaders don't need hand-holding after a session. The shift happens in the room, and then they move. If something surfaces later that needs attention, we're here.

But we're not going to schedule a "check-in call in 30 days" just to justify our existence. If you need us, call us. If you don't, you don't.

Will I get a report or insight pack?

Not by default. SSC isn't diagnostic. We’re about coming in and fixing as fast as possible. Not giving you a run down on where there is a leak in the plumbing

Having said that, and this is where it gets super interesting for us. If we run 30 sessions for your Tier 2 leaders, we’re going to pick up on a lot of similarities, differences, patterns, obstacles and themes. That is gold and we want to be able to share that, give words and ideas to that. If you want it of course, and keeping 100% confidentiality.

Why don't you offer ongoing coaching like everyone else?

Because everyone else is doing it. Because we believe the model is fundamentally flawed (as long as you don’t improve, I can keep sending invoices) and, because coaching is great at managing symptoms and crap at fixing what is causing the pain in the first place.

We’re in to finding and fixing cause.

If you genuinely need six months of support, we'll tell you—and we'll recommend someone who does that work. But most leaders don't need it. They need one clear, catalystic moment that clears the interference, and then move on. One. Done. What’s next?

We built SSC because we were tired of watching organisations pay for 12-month arcs that delivered nothing. We're not going to become the thing we built SSC to replace.

How quickly can we start?

Fast. We work across six time zones and five languages.

Once you've signed, we'll be in touch within 48 hours to schedule intake calls. Sessions typically happen within 10–14 days.

Want an early morning slot before the board meeting? Done.
Need a lunchtime reset across time zones? Easy.

We move when you need us to move.

Do you work globally?

Yes. We're distributed across Melbourne, Sydney, London, Paris, Helsinki, and beyond.

We work in English, Dutch, Spanish, French and Finnish (at the moment). If you're in APAC, talk to Lana. If you're in the EU, Catherine or Ben.

what is we’re not sure ssc is right for us?

You'll never know. Unless of course you give it a try.

If your business is running like a smooth, well-oiled machine and there "ain't nothin' broke"—then you don't need us.

If you're growing, attracting and retaining talent, and your customers love you—then you don't need us.

If your leadership team is on fire and putting out there like IN-Q—then, guess what, you probably don't need us.

But if there's a little fly in the ointment, if something doesn't feel right in meetings, if despite everything else customers aren't happy—then give us a call.

Because we'd almost guarantee we can do something to make you better, faster, and more profitable.
