Tomorrow Monday 5th October, 100+ leaders are coming together at Derby Museums the Museum of the Making in Derby to discuss this year theme ‘Capital, Capability, Cadence and Culture: Turning strategic investment into flow’ at Life in Flow Motion 2026, Project4 Learning Lab annual conference.

MP Baggy Shanker MP is opening the stage 🙌🏻

I will be running two workshops to look at the most underrated investment of all: Leadership Performance

These are the tree questions I am going to explore with the audience through somatic experiments rooted in neuroscience, human physiology and Zen practice.

Capability: what becomes available or unavailable to me in different neuropsychological states?

Cadence: What am I repeatedly training my mind and body to do?

Culture: what does my state invite, amplify or suppress in the people around me?

One week today, 100+ leaders will be in one room in Derby. Will you be one of them?On Monday 5th October, I’ll be at Lif...

One week today, 100+ leaders will be in one room in Derby. Will you be one of them?

On Monday 5th October, I’ll be at Life in Flow Motion 2026, Project4 Learning Lab’s annual conference at the Museum of Making 🚀

This year’s theme is Capital, Capability, Cadence & Culture: Turning Strategic Investment into Flow.

I’ll be running two experiential workshops on one of the most overlooked strategic investments of all:

YOU, the leader.

Through a series of simple somatic experiments, we’ll explore in real time how your biology influences how you lead, often before your talent, drive and expertise even come into play.

Who is the conference for?

If you are a leader of an SME or corporate business that:

➡️ spends too much time and money firefighting the issue of the day
➡️ is scaling and finding it challenging to manage the increased complexity and size
➡️ has achieved scale but lost the ability to keep things simple and efficient, increasing cost, complexity and ex*****on time
➡️ fosters a culture that relies on pressure, effort and authority
➡️ has a leadership team that has become misaligned, short-term driven or siloed

Then this conference is for you 🎯

Get in touch to reserve your free seat.

And if you’d like to explore bringing this kind of experiential work into your own leadership team, DM me WORKSHOP and we can start a conversation.

This is the testimonial from one of the delegates of Mission Accelerator 2026, a business intensive I was teaching at in March, after her first week of Zen practice.

She came in without knowing quite what to expect.

“I thought - light, relaxing, maybe a bit like yoga”

What she found was something different…

“My mind was going all over the place, trying to find solutions to everything. Doing Zen just helped my mind get quiet”

And it wasn’t only her mind that changed.

“On Monday, my legs and arms were shaking. I knew I needed more fitness. By Thursday, I felt more confident. My legs weren’t shaking so much anymore and my arms not at all”

My work meets you exactly where you are, whether you have an existing practice or are completely new to it.

It gives your body and your mind permission and a practical way to actually switch off, release and restore.

Are you ready to learn how to allow your mind to quieten and your body to release so you can tackle the pressure and demands of your business or equestrian performance?

DM me and I will send you the details of the next reset day in September.

One full day away from your everyday demands, in a beautiful quiet location surrounded by nature, to clear your mind and restore your body ready for your performance and your life.

You’ve started your round well and you get a pole fence 4.
What happens next, decides the rest.

If your mind is still at fence 4 when you have got to fence 9

📽️ Replaying it

😡 Frustrated

😣 Disappointed

🔬 Trying to analyse it

Then..

➡️ You are not actually riding the next fences

And..

➡️ You are leaving your horse to carry alone the rest of the course

Your horse needs you at the fence you’re jumping. Not the one you left behind.

Every rider makes mistakes, but not every rider can keep their concentration in the present moment.

The ones who can? They get better results.

Concentration can be trained, as any other skill in the saddle.

It is one of the key skills I train in my work with equestrian clients.

Because your training is not just on the horse.
What you trains off the saddle matters equally.

Follow for more insights to help you perform at your best when pressure rises, in the arena and in life.

Most High Performing leaders and athlete riders think Zen is just about being still, passive and indifferent.

A spiritual endeavour for the elected few, disconnected from reality. Nothing to do with to their personal and professional performance.

That totally changes once they understand what the work is actually addressing.

Secular Zen practice has been used for centuries in Japan by businessmen and elite athletes to cultivate the high performance habits behind their success.

It is about restoring clarity, energy and capacity to support the intensity and pace of a demanding career and life.

Listen how it helped Carolyn sustain and get the most value out of a week-long 7am-10pm business intensive, which I bet is not much different from your daily schedule, and most definitely what mine was.

It’s not about removing the intensity or pressure. It’s about learning a new way to meet it.

If you are ready to take the time out and explore how Zen can help you to stay clear, focussed and resourced to meet all your personal and professional demands, without burning the candles at both ends

Comment ‘ZEN’ and I will send you all the info about the September HASU One-day reset.

I have been where you are, and I have paid the price.
You don’t have to.

Come and experience the practices, rooted in Japanese Zen and backed up by science, I wish I had all along to support my 2 decades leadership career and my personal life.

There is only 8 seats in person and 4 online for international delegates.
Don’t miss out the chance.

Yesterday I found a photo of my graduation day in my archive 🥹
27th October 2005 at Politecnico di Milano

I thought about how much has happened since and all I have learned along the way.
It made me wonder, if I could go back and share seven lessons to my younger self, what would they be?

It took me more than twenty years, a divorce and a near fatal riding accident to get clear on those.
You don’t have to.

Join my next 8-week High Performance Programme ‘Leading from Presence’, starting in September.

You’ll gain the knowledge to understand how your biology influences your performance and your life, and experience the practices that cultivate presence, clarity and choice under pressure.

Registrations are now open.
Only 12 places are available across both in-person and online.

Watch what previous delegates have said about the programme. Link in bio.

If you want to discover your relationship with performance and pressure, take the Exec Leader High Performance Blueprint here and book a call to discuss your results. Link in bio

Can one day really change anything?
My answer is yes.

Everything you have accomplished so far in your life started with a first step.

As a busy senior leader, business owner or equestrian, you may be used to wanting your goals right now but that’s hardly ever the case.

One day is not a magic solution.

But it can act as a catalyst when it creates real interruption, deeper awareness and practical shifts in how we understand and carry pressure.

Most time what people need most is the right conditions for recovery, clarity and insight.

That is what the one day reset is being designed for.
Sunday 27th September
Breadsall Priory
Derbyshire

Only 8 spots.
