For organisations
Someone on your team keeps hitting the same ceiling? I find what’s capping them.
One-to-one work for anyone in your organisation, paid for by the organisation. You can offer it and pay for it. The person decides whether to go ahead. They get a structured survey and a written report. You get confirmation the work was done, and none of what they said.
This page is for one person. For talks, workshops or work with a whole team, see Ultimate Human Labs, the in-person side of the work. Group work sits there because what's said is shared with the room.
What Your Organisation Gets
You won't see what they say. Here's what you're paying for instead.
The real problem, not the symptom
The survey finds what's actually capping them, so effort stops going on the wrong fix.
Someone who chose this
People are only candid when it's their choice. That candour is what makes the report worth having.
Success agreed in writing
If work follows, what success means is written down first, in their words, and checkable by someone else.
Their wellbeing protected
A goal reached at the cost of their sleep, energy or relationships counts as a failure, not a win.
How It Works for an Organisation
Nothing starts until the person themselves has said yes.
- 125 minutes
A conversation with you
The person, the context, and whether what I do fits. If it doesn’t, I’ll say so.
- 225 minutes
A conversation with them
I speak to the person directly. They decide whether to go ahead. Nobody is sent.
- 3In writing
Proposal and agreement
Scope, price and dates, on business terms. Invoiced on signing.

The survey and report
A structured survey, then a one-page written report. The report goes to them.
- 540 days · only if agreed
The work, one to one
If the report says it would help and they want it, 40 days of one-to-one work, scoped and priced in writing with you. There’s no programme they’re pushed into.
What You See, and What You Don’t
People tell the truth only when it’s safe to. A survey written for their employer would be worthless to both of you.
You see
- That the sessions took place
- That the agreed work was delivered
- The invoice
You don’t see
- Notes, recordings or transcripts
- The report
- Anything they said
Not even with their permission. Permission given to an employer isn’t freely given, so I don’t ask for it.
Duty of care
- I publish what I don’t work with. If something on it comes up, I stop and help them find the right person.
- This isn’t a performance-management or HR tool, and I won’t take part in one.
- I won’t work with anyone you want “fixed” or managed out.
Who They'd Be Working With
I'm Stephan, an Inner Architect. I wrote my first development programme over 20 years ago, and I've worked with people one to one, and in front of rooms, ever since.
I'm not a therapist, and I don't claim to be. What I do is survey how someone's work and beliefs are arranged, and where that gives way under pressure.
Cost and Paying
The organisation pays a fixed price for the survey and report. It's set out in a written proposal after our first conversation, and invoiced when the agreement is signed.
If 40 days of one-to-one work follows, it's quoted separately, in writing, before anything starts. Invoices are payable within 14 days, on my business terms.
