Performance and energy enhancing workshops for ambitious professionals

Working with entrepreneurs and ambitious professionals, I deliver experiential workshops focused on a blend of upskilling and wellbeing.

Focused on improving mental resilience, emotional intelligence, energy levels, and high-performance capabilities, these workshops are highly interactive, emotionally engaging, and grounded in tools from coaching, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, performance training, and energy leadership. They’re designed to build real behavioural change, not just insight.

🔥 What Others Are Saying

  • Erfan F. Founder

    Working with Seven was a pleasure. For years, I struggled with rigid, defensive body language whenever I spoke in public, and I felt like I was guarding myself rather than connecting with my audience.

    Seven took the time to listen deeply and truly understand the root of my challenges. He guided me through a thoughtful exploration of the beliefs and experiences that were keeping me closed off. By breaking down those walls, I began to see where my tension was coming from, and how to prevent it.

    His step-by-step approach gave me confidence to move with ease instead of defensiveness.

    Today, I speak with a presence that feels authentic and engaging. I no longer recoil under public speaking pressure and welcome it. Thanks to Seven, public speaking has transformed from my greatest challenge into one of my most powerful strengths.

  • Justine Lou, Freelance Content Marketing and Branding Specialist

    “Seven’s coaching sessions are so incredibly helpful and well structured – but he’s willing to meet you where you’re at, so if you need something changed, he adapts. What’s incredible about Seven is how intuitive he is, and that he actually cares. To him, being someone’s coach isn’t just a job. And it shows. When you work with Seven, he makes himself available to you and prioritises you. He's been incredibly supportive during a tough time. I highly recommend Seven as a coach.”

  • Public Speaking Workshop Participant

    “The public speaking workshop covered everything I needed for me to improve my public speaking skills. I never felt this good in a long time when it came to engaging in meaningful workshops. I've got so much to learn from you, Seven! I found a gem.”

  • Harry Nijjar (live event participant)

    Amazing event today, I knew it was going to be good, but it was beyond what I imagined. You’re unlocking the internals, which 99% of the world is missing, myself included. As we move into a more AI world, we need to lean into more of our humanity, which is energy, energy in motion (emotion) and mastering that like an AI is mastering the internet and the codes of language.

  • Ted H, accelerator participant

    "Wanted to send a huge thank you for everything you’ve done for us over the past few months. Your insight and guidance was always spot on and I will be forever grateful for the program that you put together. I have quite a few favorite sessions but, if I had to name one, it would be the one where you convinced us to think of this process as a game - it changed my world. While I’m sad to see the program come to an end I am super happy to be able to call myself an alum. Many many thanks!"

  • Felix O. Founder and CEO

    “Seven took his time to educate me further, ensuring our activities were rooted in context and taking into account my learning style. I really appreciated his patience and thoughtfulness with this. I believe more people should experience this coaching technique, as it's clear it can create positive value, if one is open to it.  Seven is great and I look forward to future sessions. Highly recommended!”

  • Will Y. Founder

    “You clearly know the [psychology and neuroscience], but that’s only part of the puzzle… You were able to relate it to me, to a specific case and personality, and bring out exactly what was needed. You asked the right questions very quickly to [bring out the solution]. I can see why it’s so valuable to entrepreneurs!”

  • Train your nervous system and mindset to perform when it matters most.

    Entrepreneurs and ambitious professionals don’t fail because of lack of knowledge — they fail because stress, pressure, and reactive behaviours derail their performance. This area focuses on practical tools for state management, stress regulation, and mindset control so you stay at your best in negotiations, pitches, and leadership challenges.

    Topics include:

    • State, Stress & Self-Command

      • How to regulate your nervous system in real time (breathing, posture, energy resets).

      • Tools to stop being hijacked by reactivity and regain focus instantly.

    • Mental & Emotional Resilience

    Value:
    Participants leave with a toolbox for high-pressure leadership — the ability to regulate stress, reset quickly, and project clarity and authority in exactly the situations where most people fall apart.

  • Learn the skillset and psychology of communication that makes people listen, trust, and follow.

    In today’s world, technical expertise alone isn’t enough.
