These experimental workshops move beyond insight into behavioural integration.
They examine how professionals show up, where they self-suppress and how contained energy reduces both leadership impact and personal vitality. When life force is restricted at work, creativity narrows, communication tightens and presence diminishes beyond the office.
Drawing on her experience as a secondary school leader and educator, Lorraine designs these workshops for vocational application. The shift is experienced in the room through structured, embodied practice and leaves participants with tools they can apply immediately in professional and personal life.
The result is sustained behavioural change, stronger leadership presence and renewed energy.
This immersive development day translates insight into embodied leadership practice.
We work directly with suppressed drive, muted ambition and contained presence. Participants explore how desire, instinct and confidence show up in communication, boundary setting and influence.
This is about restoring vitality to professional environments.
Through structured exercises, embodied drills and real-time communication challenges, leaders experience the difference between tension-driven performance and energised authority.
What It Covers
• The link between desire and ambition
• Suppressed drive and diluted authority
• Visibility without apology
• Magnetic presence and energetic communication
• Boundary clarity rooted in confidence
• Chemistry and influence in teams
• Moving from managed control to grounded power
Outcome – Leaders leave clearer, more expressed and more powerful in how they show up. Performance becomes fuelled by clean drive rather than pressure.

This development day addresses the internal filters restricting performance.
We examine how shame, fear of judgement and early relational conditioning suppress ambition and risk tolerance. Participants learn to identify contraction in both thought and physiology and shift from containment to momentum.
This is where hesitation is resolved at the root.
Through guided belief work, somatic recalibration and applied leadership scenarios, participants clear the blocks filtering their capability.
What It Covers
• Limiting performance identities
• Fear of visibility and fear of success
• Shame as a suppressor of drive
• The physiology of hesitation
• Nervous system regulation under evaluation
• Rewriting internal narratives
• Expanding tolerance for leadership exposure
Outcome –Confidence becomes embodied. Decisions become cleaner. Risk tolerance increases. Drive is no longer filtered through fear.
Can be paired with Keynote: Breaking Limits
This immersive development day builds the capacity to lead without armour. It replaces approval-driven performance with integrated authority, strengthening calm presence, clear boundaries and confident communication under pressure.
When stakes rise, old identity patterns surface. Approval-seeking. Over-control. Withdrawal. Overcompensation.
Through live simulations, structured feedback and embodied regulation practices, participants learn to stay steady, self-connected and authoritative in those moments.
This is leadership without pretence. Authority without aggression. Presence without performance.
What It Covers
• Stress-driven identity patterns
• Boundary clarity in conflict
• Holding visibility without self-editing
• Regulating emotional intensity in high-stakes conversations
• Leading with grounded vitality
Outcome – Leaders leave calmer, clearer and more integrated. Communication strengthens. Influence deepens. Confidence feels embodied rather than performed.

I attended Lorraines comedy show, it was brilliant! She is a naturally funny story teller with such a presence on stage. Her show was hilarious and she had so much material for a long set!
