THE MISFIRE
The bottleneck isn't your technology. It's how your people think together.
Every senior team is being asked to navigate a level of complexity their cognitive habits were never designed for. AI lands inside the organisation, generations collide, trust erodes, and crises compound. The window to get the next decision right keeps getting narrower.
You can hear the engine misfire.
Meetings go in circles, smart people debate instead of build, strategies get agreed in the room and quietly die outside it, and a leadership team is running flat out without actually moving forward.
The instinct is to fix it with more training, more frameworks, more consultants and more workshops, yet none of it sticks because none of it touches the actual problem.
The problem is the operating system itself. Analogue thinking patterns are running exponential scale problems, and until that gets rewired, everything else is just glossing over the real issue.
One day. Four strokes. The engine of how you think, tuned through play.
The day is built on the four-stroke leadership cycle as described in the book Firing On All Cylinders: SUCK, SQUEEZE, BANG and BLOW. Every cylinder has to fire in sequence, or the engine stalls.
Each stroke is delivered as an immersive, playful, experiential activity designed using our EPIC design process and grounded in the neuroscience of play.
EPIC DESIGN: Experiential · Playful · Iterative · Collobrative
Play activates dopamine, lowers the cognitive defences that block real change, and accelerates the formation of new neural pathways. Even the most serious work of the day arrives through play.

WHAT YOU CARRY FORWARD
The Quantum Leap is not a workshop you attend and forget. Every place includes the full 30-day Turin Job Mind Nudging Trail on the Thinking 5.0 platform, so the spark from the day becomes a rhythm that embeds in the flow of your work.
The day ignites it. The trail embeds it.
You will leave with:
- A new way of seeing your organisation, with the misfires that drain its energy, finally made visible
- A rewired thinking rhythm embedded over 30 days, in the flow of work
- A shared vocabulary for energy, state, courage and recovery that travels straight back to your team
- The four-stroke cycle as a personal operating system, not a slide deck
- A genuine cohort of leaders walking the same leap, alongside you
- One thing you will stop doing, and one thing you will start
WHO THIS IS FOR
The Quantum Leap is an open-cohort experience designed for leaders, HR, transformation and learning professionals ready to drive human-centric, tech-driven change.
It is built for CEOs and Managing Directors, CHROs and HR or L&D Directors, Transformation and OD Leaders, Independent Facilitators exploring the Thinking 5.0 methodology, Senior Public Sector Leaders, and Investors curious about a category-creation play at the intersection of leadership development and collective intelligence.
YOUR FACILITATORS
The day is co-delivered by Courtney Richards, Master Facilitator at Beyond Expectations and the practitioner behind Firing On All Cylinders, alongside Fi Hills, founder of Thinking 5.0 Studio and architect of the methodology behind the platform.
Together, they bring more than twenty-five years of work with senior leadership teams, and together they hold the engine-room view and the systems view of how the whole experience fits together.
Socrates AI runs alongside as a funky and unique thinking partner, surfacing better questions in real time and feeding personalised reflection back to every participant. It is not there to give you answers. It is there to sharpen the ones you reach.

Fi Hills
A room built for thinking, not a hotel function suite.
The Shoreditch Treehouse sits high above the city in a converted warehouse loft, with exposed beams, brick walls, hanging plants, fairy lights and floods of natural light. There is a grand piano in the corner, a long communal table for the Agora session, and soft seating for the moments of reflection.
The room matters because the room is the experience. You cannot do real cognitive work under fluorescent strip lighting in a beige conference room, and we don't ask you to. The Treehouse is what happens when you take a serious leadership intervention and put it inside a space that actually invites you to think differently.
Take a quantum leap in how you think, decide and lead.
