Sound familiar?

Back-to-back meetings. Decisions all day. Emails after dinner.

You get everything done, except switching off. Your team feels it before you do.

Your body can’t tell race day from a board meeting. It pays for both from the same account.

Every pro has a team

Who’s on yours?

Nobody would start a race without a team. In business, most people try exactly that.

A coach here, a doctor there, and nobody looks at how it all fits together. When you work with us, you get two people who see the whole picture, in less than 1 % of your week.

The business case

What’s at stake, and what it takes.

You’d never sign off an investment without a business case. Here’s ours.

The figures come from different studies and can’t be added up. Everyone responds differently, and we can’t guarantee results.

Grounded in science

The research behind it.

How sleep and stress shape your decisions is well researched. Three examples:

Short nights

A single night of two to six hours’ sleep slowed reactions and led to more lapses of attention the next day.

Wüst et al., 2024, Sleep Medicine Reviews, meta-analysis of 44 studies

Decisions under stress

Under stress, people lean towards riskier choices, especially where risk and reward pull against each other.

Starcke & Brand, 2016, Psychological Bulletin, meta-analysis

Pressure as energy

People who learned to see stress as energy performed measurably better under pressure. The effect is small, and it’s trainable.

Bosshard & Gomez, 2024, Scientific Reports, meta-analysis

Jonas and Ines Kilthau

From the boat to the boardroom

We know both arenas.

Jonas wrote his master’s thesis on ecosystems and later worked in organisational development. Ines managed budgets worth millions at a big publishing house, until more than a year of sick leave stopped her. We know what it costs when the inside can’t carry the outside, and how to get it back.
