Cohorts · Above & Below the Line
One shared language for the hard moments.
A cohort for your leadership team, led by Ashley Chase. Everyone learns the same model, practises it in real work for two to three weeks, and comes back together to decide what stays. Then you check what held at 30 and 90 days.
From $6,995 + HST · a team of up to five leaders · scheduled around your team
30 minutes with Doug · a clear recommendation · no pitch
This is for your team if…
Meetings tip into defence
A decision gets questioned, someone goes sharp or goes quiet, and the real issue gets parked for another meeting.
Accountability sounds like blame
The team needs a way to name what's happening in the room without anyone feeling accused.
The last workshop didn't stick
It was good on the day and gone by Friday, because nobody practised it in the work the team already does.
How it runs
One shift, practised for weeks, not a one-off.
- Pre-read. A short piece so everyone arrives ready to engage.
- Live workshop, two hours. One shift, one model and one daily practice to take back to work.
- Structured practice, two to three weeks. That practice in real work, with a practice partner from the team.
- Integration session, 90 minutes. Compare notes, learn one integration tool, and decide what stays.
- Check. A short Snapshot at integration, then again at 30 and 90 days, so you can see what held.
What your team leaves with
- A shared language. Above the line: open, curious, accountable. Below it: closed, defensive, reactive. Everyone can name it without blaming anyone.
- A way back. Four moves for bringing someone back above the line: regulate, relate, redirect, hold.
- A daily practice each person has already used in real work before the integration session.
- Evidence. A Snapshot baseline and re-scores at 30 and 90 days, so the change isn't a matter of opinion.
What leaders say
“The Above and Below the Line training has transformed the way we work together. It's given us a common language around our individual behaviours and enabled us to see when others are struggling and help them get back above the line. It's made a huge difference.”
VP Flight Operations, National Airline
“I've seen people and myself reset the conversation. Instead of focusing on who's at fault, we shift back to what needs to be done to solve the problem.”
“Practical, engaging, and focused on real-world situations rather than theory.”
