Confront
Name the standards you have let erode and what they are costing you. At work, at home and in the mirror.
Where the doctrine becomes practice
The War Room.
A room where successful business leaders take back Internal Command. Choose one theme and work towards a meaningful win, with direct feedback and men who expect you to act.
01 / The room
The work starts with your standard.
Choose one meaningful win, make a plan, act and review the evidence. Cohort One was designed as a 90-programme-day pilot. Applications for that room are now closed.
Internal Command is the discipline of leading yourself without external enforcement. The room is where that discipline is taught, practised and tested, alongside men doing the same.
Take back command
Decide what matters, make the plan and act on it, with men who expect you to.
Raise the standard
Review what actually happened, correct what is not working and go again. Then again.
The rhythm of every week
IdentifyName what matters and what is actually happening.
PlanA concrete action, a time and a place.
ExecuteDo it. Record what actually happened.
OptimiseReview the evidence. Keep what helped.
Repeat.
02 / The fit
Is this room for you?
The business may be performing. The question is whether you are. Read both sides before you ask for a seat.
✓Yes
This is probably you
- You carry real responsibility and the business is doing fine.
- Something outside the business has slipped. Your training, your focus, your patience at home. You may know what it is, or need space to name it properly.
- You are ready to choose one thing and act on it.
- You want honest challenge and are willing to give it, hear it and decide what to do with it.
✕No
This is probably not you
- You want to watch rather than contribute.
- You are after business tactics or a network.
- You cannot give the work sustained attention across the programme and its summer break.
- You are unwilling to examine your own part when a commitment is missed.

I have coached people to a standard for 20 years across New Zealand and Australia.

- Gym owner
- Business owner and CEO
- Coach to business leaders
From Kris's previous coaching work
"You will be challenged, you will receive authentic feedback and you will get results."
Earlier coaching feedback, not a Cohort One result. Each man defines a win to work towards; no particular result is guaranteed.
