For founders and senior leaders who are still performing — but can feel their judgement starting to bend under pressure.
Not burned out. Not falling apart. Just aware that something subtle is shifting.
The kind of shift most people miss until it becomes a problem.
The pressure hasn't broken you yet — but you can feel the strain in ways you can't explain to your team.
Pressure doesn't show up dramatically. It shows up quietly.
Shorter patience. Shorter breath.
A loss of situational awareness.
A decision you delay for no good reason.
A meeting where you feel present but not fully in the room.
You know something is drifting — but you can't quite name it.
This is the leader who is still moving forward but knows the depth has changed.
If you ignore distortion long enough, it becomes expensive.
Everything discussed stays outside your organisation and outside your personal circles.
Some clients choose to remain anonymous. That's always respected.
If you're not ready to talk yet, start here. The Pressure Audit is the same diagnostic I use in the first month of the engagement. It will show you where the distortion is building and which decisions are being bent by load.
No spam. No funnel games. Just the tool.
Map the distortion. Identify where judgement is slipping. Immediate stabilisation.
Hold perspective during peak execution. Make cleaner calls faster. Signal over noise. Zero theatre.
New clarity locked in. Early warning markers built.
Total: 7 sessions + async access + full diagnostic + 30-day follow-up
This work prevents drift from becoming damage. That's what the investment protects.
For the complete 3-month engagement
For leaders navigating heavier waters — exits, raises, restructures, identity shifts.
Same rhythm. Longer runway. Mid-point recalibration session.
This version is for clients who need more than clarity. They need capacity.
I'm not guiding from theory.
I've made life-or-death decisions at 150 metres.
I've built and sold businesses.
I've led teams across 52 countries.
I've operated where pressure bends judgement long before people realise it's happening.
This isn't coaching.
It's recalibration from someone who has actually been at depth — and knows how to bring you back safely.
This isn't advice-giving. It's thinking together — with someone who has carried real weight.
Your clarity will return. That's the outcome of this work.
Former Army Captain. Former PADI Territory Director across Europe, Middle East, and Africa. Built and sold businesses across three continents — including South Africa's largest dive centre.
Over 10,000 technical dives. Ten shipwrecks discovered. Decisions made at 150 metres where pressure distorts judgement long before you feel it happening.
A decade leading teams in 52 countries. A career built on operating clearly when the stakes were real.
Now working with founders and senior leaders who need someone who understands pressure — not from a textbook, but from lived experience.
"I thought I was handling the pressure fine. The audit showed me I was operating at crush depth. The peer group gave me the space to surface."
Tech Founder, Series A
"I was drowning in decisions and couldn't see which ones actually mattered. The Pressure Audit showed me I was at Crush Depth—operating in constant emergency mode. Patrick's peer group gave me the space to think clearly again."
Tech Founder, SaaS Startup
"For two years, I carried every decision alone. I didn't realize how much it was costing me until I had people who understood the weight."
CEO, Manufacturing
"Every conversation felt like a negotiation. I was managing up, down, and sideways constantly. The C.A.L.M. Protocol became my reset button before critical meetings."
CEO, Healthcare Tech
"The group doesn't give advice. They ask questions that make you think. That's more valuable than any consultant."
Founder, SaaS
"I thought pressure was just part of the job. The assessment revealed I'd been operating in Deep Water for 18 months straight. No wonder I couldn't think strategically anymore."
Founder, E-commerce Platform
A 30-minute call to see if this is the right fit. No pitch. No pressure. Just clarity on whether this makes sense for where you are.
