What happens in a single session, what it costs, and how we know it worked.
A business is the sum of its patterns, and the people repeating them cannot see them. We find the one that's holding you back, in a single ninety-minute session.
THE SESSION
One session. Ninety-minutes. Online. €3,500.
For one leader, or for an intact team.
WHO DELIVERS IT
A senior SSC practitioner, from a cooperative of around fifteen trained coaches working across six languages. Sessions run online, so a leader anywhere can be seen this week.
PATTER MAPPING
Before we work on the pattern, we map it. It means taking the situation that keeps repeating and laying out the parts of it: the people in it, the pressures on it, the history behind it, and the position you hold. Most leaders see the shape of it for the first time, and it is difficult to carry on repeating something once you can see it.
The map shows us which reflex is holding the pattern in place, and that reflex is what we clear. It stops running you.
WHY HASN’T SHIFT ALREADY
You already know how you want to lead. Under pressure you do something else, and you have probably watched yourself do it.
That reflex was learned long before this company existed. It sits below knowledge and below skill, which is why reading about it, being told about it, or deciding to do better has never touched it.
In a business you built, it goes deeper still. The company grew around how one person handles pressure, so the pattern became the shape of the organisation rather than a habit sitting inside it. When the business scales, the pattern scales too.
START WITH ONE
Patterns concentrate. A small number of them, held by a small number of people, shape most of how the business runs. So we start with the leader holding one, and leave everyone else to get on with their work.
THE FIRST CALL
Twenty minutes, before anything is booked.
We are looking for the pattern that is load-bearing, the one carrying the most weight in how the business currently works. Everybody has more than one. The call is about finding which one to take into the session, and agreeing what should be different afterwards.
THE PILOT
Three leaders. Three sessions. €7,500.
One session each, then a short debrief. You find out what it does before you decide anything bigger. One pilot per company.
HOW WE KNOW IT WORKED
The measurable unit is behaviour.
The pattern named in the first call either comes back in the situations that used to trigger it, or it doesn't.
We set the markers before we start: the decision that keeps circling, the conversation nobody is having, how long things take to resolve.
We check at T0, T2, T6 and T12.
