THE EMOTIONAL INSOURCING COHORT

    Ease & Grow.

    For founders, CEOs, and top leaders with real leadership responsibility.

    You learned that growth has to hurt. Here you learn the opposite: when your system stops working against you, the very things you used to burn yourself out for become easy.

    The next cohort starts in autumn 2026. Applications are open now — we begin as soon as the hand-picked group (max. 8) is complete.
    8-week core + two integration calls in the third month.

    01

    The promise.

    You've long known what would need to change. What's missing is not insight. It is the ability to act differently in the right moment. Lighter, not harder.

    Ease & Grow helps leaders break the pattern of buying performance with pressure, self-pressure, or dysregulation — and instead build a form of leadership and productivity that is calmer, clearer, and sustainable over the long run.

    In week 1 you see for the first time what really steers your inner state — and what costs that pattern is producing in your leadership right now.

    In week 8 you have the ability to read and regulate your emotional triggers on your own. Not because someone tells you how. But because you learned it in your own body.

    In the two integration calls in the third month, it becomes visible what has truly taken root — and what wants to be deepened under everyday pressure, before old protective patterns take over again.

    This is not a coaching program. It is the building of an embodied skill.

    Not a fix. A skill.

    02

    Who this is for — and who it isn't.

    This cohort is for you if:

    • you have understood enough, and notice that one more book, one more podcast won't change anything anymore.
    • you are ready to grow in front of others — not alone, not in hiding.
    • you sense that the price of carrying on has long since become higher than the price of change.

    It is not for you if:

    • you are still looking for a framework to work through on your own.
    • you want to repair secretly, without being seen.
    • 'someday' currently feels more right than 'now'.

    Both are okay. But only one leads through these eight weeks.

    03

    The foundation.

    In short: Emotional Insourcing rests on two pillars — the body and meaning-making — and draws on several scientific roots that are integrated with each other.

    POSITIVE INTELLIGENCE® · THE FOUNDATION

    Scientifically grounded. Personally deepened.

    Across the eight weeks you go through the complete Positive Intelligence® Program (PQ) — the neurobiologically grounded methodology by Shirzad Chamine, researched at Stanford University, used in over 50 countries — with a track record of 1M+ changed lives.

    What makes the cohort unique is how this program arrives here: tailored to the everyday reality of founders and top leaders — and enriched by three layers that go beyond PQ:

    • Nervous-system regulation & somatic practice — intentional breathwork, somatic reset, and more.
    • A pull-instead-of-push system — a personal operating system built on positive pull instead of pressure.
    • Positive Leadership Principles — leading from presence instead of fear.

    PQ gives you the foundation. Emotional Insourcing turns it into a skill that holds under real pressure and in real decision scenarios.

    The result: not just mental strength, but an embodied skill that stays — even when it gets really hard.

    The journey.

    In short: five phases across three months — an eight-week core plus an Integration Month. Knowledge becomes embodied skill.

    Five phases across three months. An intensive eight-week core. Plus two integration calls in the third month, so that what you've learned doesn't vanish under the next wave of everyday pressure.

    What happens here is not knowledge transfer. It is an embodied reorganization of the way you lead — emotionally, energetically, in your identity.

    "For the first time I see that my state comes before any strategy — and that I have tools to steer it in real time."

    You understand why you don't have a discipline problem — but a state problem. You learn the basics of your nervous system, the interplay of sensation, feeling, and emotion. You practice reading signals earlier — before tightness tips into reactivity. And you begin to feel how your own state co-organizes the people around you.

    "I have language for what steers me — and I stop judging myself for it."

    Now it gets concrete. Which pattern is driving you right now? Judge, Hyper-Achiever, Restless, Pleaser, Avoider, control logic? You recognize your saboteur chains — and see that they are strengths in overdrive, not defects. You learn to tell push from pull. You understand when a strategy problem is actually a dysregulation problem — and vice versa.

    "I achieve more — with less inner war, fewer hidden costs, clearer decisions."

    Performance itself shifts. Not harder, more, faster — but more present, clearer, more economical. You practice Performance through Presence, felt outcomes instead of hard goals, standards instead of target numbers, progress instead of achievement. You learn to recognize your own 'consciousness ceiling' — the unconscious limit your leadership is currently hitting.

    "I have a system that carries me — even when nobody is watching and the pressure returns."

    Now what you've learned becomes embodied. You build your personal practice architecture: Power Hour, focus block, Minimum Viable Routine, the Big Reset, 'What's needed now?' as the engine. You learn not only to recognize patterns, but to use them — and finally to create new patterns deliberately. Identity is no longer understood. It is rebuilt.

    Phase 05

    Integration Month

    Month 3 · 2 sessionsLAYER 5 · INTEGRATION & EMBODIMENT

    Most programs end too early. Three weeks after the finish, the insight is there — and everyday life pushes it back.

    That's why Ease & Grow doesn't stop after eight weeks. In the third month we meet for two 90-minute integration calls:

    Session 1 — Reality check + pattern drift. What has truly held under real everyday pressure? Which old patterns have subtly returned? Where does something want to be recalibrated before old protective patterns take over again?

    Session 2 — Embodiment + forward lock-in. What is embodied practice now — and what does your leadership reality look like over the next 12 months, beyond the cohort?

    "I don't fall back. The skill is mine — under pressure too, without the group too."

    Format & group.

    Format & rhythm

    • 8-week core with weekly 90-minute group sessions (phases 1–4: Awareness · Patterns · Reorientation · Daily Practice)
    • 2 integration calls (90 min each) in the third month (phase 5: Integration & Embodiment — the transfer into your leadership reality)
    • max. 8 participants, hand-picked
    • daily micro-practices via the PQ app (membership included, 1 year)
    • WhatsApp group for the stretch between sessions
    • Fundamentals booklet at the end of the program (markdown-ready for your own LLMs)
    • access to the Conscious Leaders Circle (free, unlimited)

    THE FORMAT

    The group is not the add-on. It is the multiplier.

    "When you hear for the first time that the person next to you has the same inner critic, shame dissolves. 'I'm not broken — I'm human.' That is the precondition for everything else."

    A maximum of eight people, hand-picked.
    In the group, something happens that doesn't happen alone. You show up because the others show up — and you stay with it when it gets uncomfortable. You are seen, and what is seen changes faster. Seven people becoming calm with you pull your nervous system with them. And what one person speaks out loud opens the door for everyone.
    The group is the format. Transformation in community goes deeper — and it stays.

    VOICES & RESULTS

    Real voices from the founding cohort.

    The first voices come from the founding cohort. Sven goes first.

    Entrepreneur

    "Before, I was often tired and felt remote-controlled — so many things drained my energy, and I didn't even understand why. Today I am lighter, clearer, more alive, and I sense a way forward again. My biggest mind-blow: anything can mean anything. Things carry no meaning in themselves — I am the one who gives it to them. Today I can laugh about myself and even celebrate that. My family, my kids, my team, my friends — many of them feel the change in me. If you're a founder looking for someone who won't bury you in methods, but helps you think more clearly, become calmer, and arrive back at yourself — you should talk to Marco."

    More voices from the founding cohort will follow over the coming days.

    Fill in the application

    5 MINUTES

    A short form. No CV — a few honest questions.

    02

    Fit call

    15 MINUTES

    A short conversation with Marco. Honest in both directions — whether the step fits.

    03

    Decision

    48 HOURS

    You decide in peace. No negotiation, no pressure.

    Honest in both directions: if it doesn't fit, we'll tell you. You decide afterwards, in peace — no negotiation, no pressure.

    The next cohort starts in autumn 2026 — we set the exact start date once the group is complete. No fixed deadline: we review applications on a rolling basis. Eight seats, hand-picked.

    THE INNER CONTRACT

    What you're saying yes to.

    These eight weeks need no prior knowledge and no perfection. They need a stance — and a conscious decision.

    Come curious. Stay open to the possibility that what you think you know about yourself is only half the story. And go as deep as you can — not a little, but fully, for eight weeks. Because what you take with you grows in exact proportion to how fully you let yourself in.

    And most importantly: your response always belongs to you. Not as a burden — as freedom. That is the ground everything else grows on.

    Application

    You will hear back within 48 hours, possibly with an invitation to the 15-minute fit call.

    WHY TOP LEADERS FIRST

    Why this cohort begins with top leaders.

    In short: we begin with top leaders because that is where the greatest positive leverage lies — they transform themselves first, then their team.

    Change scales through people with leverage. Whoever leads a team, a department, or a company shapes the state of many with their own state. That is why Ease & Grow deliberately begins with founders, CEOs, and top leaders. Not out of exclusivity — but because this is where the greatest positive leverage lies.

    The logic is simple: you transform yourself first. You learn to feel your inner state instead of being led by it. That's what enables you to transform your team — not through announcements, but through the way you lead and regulate.

    A regulated leader regulates their team. That is the lever — from the inside out.
