THE TAKEOFF MODEL
TAKEOFF is the underlying methodology behind our work.
It brings together seven interconnected areas of health, behaviour and sustainable performance - helping leaders understand what supports them, what gets in the way, and what needs to change.
Seven foundations for sustainable performance.

A WHOLE-PERSON APPROACH
Health doesn't work in silos.
Neither does TAKEOFF.
Sleep affects stress. Stress affects food choices. Movement affects energy and recovery. Purpose influences behaviour. And all of them shape the capacity a leader brings to the role.
TAKEOFF gives us a practical framework for looking at the whole person - and identifying where change can make the greatest difference.
One model. Applied in different ways.
THE METHOD BEHIND THE WORK
TAKEOFF underpins our leadership programmes, workshops, executive coaching and assessments.
We don't expect every leader or organisation to work on all seven areas at once.
We use the framework to identify what matters now - and focus there.
HOW WE WORK
We don't start with a program.
We start with what's happening now.
Every leadership team is different. So we establish a baseline, identify where health is affecting leadership capacity, focus on what matters most, and measure what changes.
01
MEASURE
Understand
the starting point
Leader health. Capacity. Leadership behaviours. The pressures and patterns shaping performance.
02
IMPROVE
Focus where
it matters
Targeted development, practical experiments and behaviour change — built around the realities of the leaders and the organisation.
03
PROVE
Measure
what changes
Track shifts in health, capacity and leadership behaviour — and what changes more widely in the organisation.
