Leadership Under Pressure

Decisions at depth
require a different discipline.

I've made decisions at 150 metres underwater, where panic kills. Now I help leaders stay clear when it matters most.

This is for senior leaders carrying decisions that don't decompress.

You want systems, not just support

I help leaders perform under pressure using the same systems that kept me alive at depth.

I've spent 20 years making decisions where the wrong call means you don't surface. I've led teams across 52 countries, built and sold businesses where the pressure never stopped, and discovered 10 shipwrecks off the South African coast.

The patterns I see in struggling leaders are identical to what happens underwater: signal degradation, narrowed focus, impaired judgement. The difference is that divers learn to recognise it. Leaders usually don't—until something breaks.
