SUMMARY:Sort Yourself\, Lead Others — The 6-Day Leadership Programme
DESCRIPTION:Most leadership training teaches you what to do.\nThis one deals with what happens when your own head gets in the way.\nSort Yourself- Lead Others is a 6-day programme running across three blocks of two days\, with time between each block to apply what you’ve learned before coming back for more. It’s built around the internal stuff most leadership training completely ignores — and the practical tools to do something about it. \n\nTHIS PROGRAMME IS FOR YOU IF: \nYou’re a capable leader who knows something’s quietly getting in the way. You’ve done training before and came away thinking “that was fine\, but nothing really changed.” You’re newly appointed and already feeling the weight of it. Or you’re on your way up and want to get the foundations right before the pressure kicks in. \n\nWHAT WE COVER: \nBlock 1 — Know Yourself First (28-29 January) How your brain filters reality and why it matters. Why two people experience the same situation completely differently. Your default patterns under pressure. The stress response and emotional hijack. Practical techniques for managing your state when things get properly hard. \nBlock 2 — Sort Your Head Out (25-26 February) Imposter syndrome — the structure of it and how to dismantle it. Overthinking — how to break the loop for good. People pleasing — where it comes from and what it’s costing you. Real assertiveness — not the aggressive version. Boundaries — setting them\, holding them\, and stopping feeling guilty about having them. \nBlock 3 — Now Lead Other People (8-9 April) What actually drives human behaviour. Why the same approach doesn’t work on everyone. The Drama Triangle — how drama starts\, why smart people get sucked in\, and how to lead without feeding it. Difficult conversations — the frameworks\, the preparation\, and the practice. Your 90-day plan for keeping this going when you’re back in the thick of it. \n\nWHAT THIS ISN’T: \nThis isn’t therapy. It isn’t a motivational pep talk. There’s no role play with a stranger\, no trust falls\, and no folder of frameworks you’ll never look at again. \nIt’s six days of honest\, practical work on the thing most training programmes completely ignore — what’s actually going on between your ears\, and what you can do about it. \n\nWHAT YOU’LL LEAVE WITH: \nA clearer understanding of yourself and the people around you. Practical tools you can use the day you get back. The ability to manage your own state under pressure. The confidence to have difficult conversations without the dread. And a way of leading that doesn’t require everyone else to behave themselves before it works. \n\n\n\nBLOCK 1 — Sort Yourself\nBLOCK 2 — Lead Others\nBLOCK 3 — Make It Stick\n\n\n28–29 January\n26–27 February\n8–9 April\n\n\nHow your brain works under pressure \n•   State management and anchoring \n•   Values\, beliefs and what’s actually driving you \n•   Metaprogrammes — how you filter the world \n•   The Communication Model \n•   Logical Levels — who you are as a leader\n•   Other people’s Chimp states \n•   Values in other people \n•   The Drama Triangle\, OK Corral and Karma Triangle \n•   Assertiveness — the full spectrum \n•   Saying no clearly and kindly \n•   Giving Clean Feedback \n•   Linguistic influence \n•   Delivering difficult messages\n•   Pulos Brainwave Model — state for influence \n•   Ethical influence \n•   Delegation — letting go without losing control \n•   Authority and being heard \n•   Managing upwards \n•   Integration — the leader you’re stepping into \n•   Commitments to each other\n\n\n\n\nEvolved from Overthunk! Leadership \nSort Yourself- Lead Others is the next iteration of the Overthunk! Leadership programme\, which ran its founding cohort in 2026. It’s been refined\, expanded and properly named. Testimonials from the founding cohort coming soon — but the content\, the approach and the depth are already proven. \n\nABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR: \nAlan Johnson has spent over 20 years working with leaders across the public\, private and third sectors.

SUMMARY:Overprotected! — Two-Day Foundation Practitioner Training- April 2027
DESCRIPTION:Some things carry on long after whatever started them has passed. The knee was repaired in 2016 and it still hurts. The bloods are normal and she still can’t get through a Monday. He left the job years ago and still won’t sit with his back to a door. \nDifferent symptoms\, different people\, the same fault underneath: a protection system that never got the message the danger was over. \nMeet Harold. \nHarold is the health and safety officer who works in your client’s head. Hi-vis\, hard hat\, clipboard\, permanently earnest\, and his entire job is keeping them alive. He carried out a risk assessment once\, after one bad day years ago\, and he has never reviewed it. The cordon tape is still up. The alarm is still wired in. \nHe isn’t the villain. He’s kept them alive this far and he’s rather good at his job. He simply never throws anything away — and clients grasp that in about four seconds\, which is most of why it works. \nOver the two days \n—  The model\, and the research behind it. Current pain neuroscience\, predictive processing\, the trauma-response literature\, and the 2022 randomised controlled trial published in JAMA Psychiatry. Referenced properly\, with the limitations stated. \n—  The six threat responses — fight\, flight\, freeze\, flop\, friend and fawn — as a single map that reorganises most of a caseload. \n—  The Stand-Down: a five-step structure for working with a protective response rather than against it. Nothing is deleted and nothing is overridden. \n—  Why some clients won’t let go\, and what to do about it. \n—  What makes the change hold after they leave the room — the part most approaches skip. \n—  Working safely: when to proceed\, when to refer\, and where the limits of this work sit. \n—  Supervised practice throughout\, so you leave having done it rather than having watched it. \nWhere it fits \nIt’s built to sit alongside what you already do rather than replace it — hypnotherapy\, counselling\, coaching\, bodywork\, NLP. You’ll need existing practice; this isn’t an introduction to therapy. \nWe start on the simple\, stable ground: persistent pain\, fatigue\, hypervigilance\, phobias\, people-pleasing. Not trauma and not the complicated end — which is a design decision rather than a limitation. \nWhere this is up to \nThe model draws on established pain science\, but the training itself is new and still developing. The people in these early rooms are actively shaping how it gets taught\, and feedback is genuinely wanted. If you’d rather wait for something fully bedded in\, that’s a reasonable choice. If you’d rather help shape it\, come. \nWhat you leave with \nThe full participant manual\, the Stand-Down pocket card\, the session materials\, and a certificate of attendance. Certified Practitioner is a separate pathway with supervised cases and assessment. \nRefreshments throughout — proper coffee and very good biscuits. \nWho’s teaching it \nAlan Johnson — NLP trainer\, clinical hypnotherapist\, psychotherapist\, IEMT / MOM practitioner and former mental health nurse\, with around thirty years in the helping professions. Author of the Amazon number one bestseller Overthunk!\, and host of the That NLP Bloke podcast. Clients have included the NHS\, Durham Constabulary\, the Ministry of Defence and HM Prison Service. \nImportant \nThis approach works alongside medical care and never replaces it. Nothing taught here is a treatment for any medical condition and no outcome is promised. Practitioners are taught to work only with symptoms that have been medically investigated\, and to refer anything undiagnosed\, new or changing back to a doctor. That principle is built into the front door of the method rather than added as a disclaimer. \nThe details \nSaturday 24 and Sunday 25 April 2027\, at Change Working in Northallerton. \nCapped at 12 places. \n£595\, or £445 for bookings made before 31 August. \nThe fee can be spread across five monthly payments at no extra cost. \nFull outline and booking: overprotected.co.uk \nQuestions: alan@changeworking.co.uk
