The Invisible Stress-Load

Friday 13 June 2025 | 10am - 1pm NZST | The Matrix Lounge, Queenstown, New Zealand

Stress isn’t just a feeling, it’s a physiological and behavioural force that puts pressure on you and affects your performance long before you realise it. In this workshop, you’ll unpack the real mechanics of stress and learn to spot the invisible signs of overload in yourself and others. We’ll show you how to manage your “Stress-Load” more effectively, so you can lead with more clarity, consistency, and calm. If you’re tired of operating in overdrive and want to prevent burnout (or deal with the aftermath), this one’s for you.

Reframing Leadership

Why most leadership fails and what really works

Friday 11 July 2025 | 10am - 1pm NZST | The Matrix Lounge, Queenstown, New Zealand

Forget what you think you know about leadership. It’s not about titles, personas, or heroic traits, it’s about what emerges when the right environment exists. This workshop flips the leadership script and introduces a powerful new lens based on what actually works in high-performing teams like the All Blacks or elite creative crews. You’ll learn how to spark trust, shift dynamics, and become the kind of person around whom real leadership can emerge,  shared, fluid, and wildly effective.
