Have you ever told yourself “I’m not stressed”, when your body is screaming otherwise?

or done a personality profile… and then wondered what to actually do with it? And if it makes any difference to working with your difficult workmate?

or thought “leadership” meant being the smartest, strongest person in the room?

Queenstown, we’ve got something for you…

Introducing The Human Alchemy Series; three practical, transformational workshops for people who want to really get better at the human side of business.

Workshop 1: Beyond Personality Profiles:  How to apply them and navigate human behaviour

Friday 16 May, 10am–1pm (Lunch included)

You’ve probably done a personality profile before,  maybe even a few. But do you actually know how to use them when it matters most? This workshop unlocks the missing link: a practical model that helps you decode human behaviour in real time. Learn how to adapt to different people, reduce friction, and get better results with clients, teams, and stakeholders. Whether you find reading people tricky or just want to sharpen your human skills, this session shows you how to move from theory to mastery.

Workshop 2: The Invisible Stress-Load: Managing stress and performance under pressure 

Friday 13 June, 10am–1pm (Lunch included)

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.

Workshop 3: Reframing Leadership:  Why most Leadership fails and what really works

Friday 11 July, 10am–1pm (Lunch included)

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.
