1 Day Breakthrough Process

A focused day to understand your challenge and decide your next step. Work with experienced facilitators and a small group to gain clarity and direction.

What Is It?

The 1 Day Breakthrough Process is a one-day programme for people who need space to think clearly about something that matters.

You arrive with a question, a challenge, or a sense of being stuck. Over the course of the day, you work with experienced facilitators and a small group to understand what is really happening and decide what to do next.

This is not a seminar or motivational event. It is a serious thinking space designed to help you see what you have been circling and leave with clarity you can act on.

It is also an opportunity to experience the Breakthrough Process before committing to a five-day programme.

Who is it for?

Anyone who is grappling with a current work, life or relationship challenge. For example, a career change, a difficult professional or personal relationship, a persistent behavioural pattern that prevents forward momentum, or simply feeling stuck.

This programme is for thoughtful people who want to understand themselves and their situation more clearly.

How does it work?

The day follows a structured journey from defining your challenge to insight and direction.

Working in a small group with experienced facilitators, you explore both the psychological and practical dimensions of what you are facing.

By the end of the day you will have developed:

  • Clarity on what is really happening

  • Insight into what has been getting in the way

  • Fresh perspective

  • A clear next step

  • Understanding of whether a longer programme is right for you
