Unlocking Greater Performance & Endurance
When the pressure is high and the next decision matters, performance alone is not enough. Judgement becomes everything.
The moment between “I don’t want to F* up what’s next and clear, confident next actions
I (Alan Branagh) work with Founders, Chief Executives, Managing Directors and Business Owners of privately held companies at moments where what made them successful will not, on its own, take them forward and where the cost of getting the next move wrong feels heavier than ever.
You have already built something good.
Often very good.
Yet something feels unfinished.
Not broken.
Not failing.
Just tight.
The space to think has narrowed.
The noise has increased.
The decisions carry more weight.
This is the moment I work in.
The Space Between Pressure and Clarity
Most leaders operate in constant performance mode.
Always on.
Always responding.
Always moving.
No pause.
No perspective.
No space to think.
Over time, clarity fades.
Confidence slips.
Decisions become reactive rather than deliberate.
My work is simple.
I create Active Time Out, a high-performance space where leaders stop performing and start thinking.
A space where:
the invisible becomes visible
pressure turns into clarity
identity realigns
thinking deepens before action follows
This is where Greater Thinking leads to Greater Decisions, which leads to Greater Performance & Endurance.
Quietly.
Privately.
Without noise.
The Shift Always Starts With You
Every meaningful shift begins with the leader.
You
clarity of identity
confidence under pressure
presence, judgement and self-trust
Your Team
trust
cohesion
communication and rhythm
Your Business
direction
momentum
execution
When you shift, your team shifts.
When your team shifts, the business follows.
This is the game of business I work in.
What This Is and What It Is Not
This is not training.
This is not life coaching.
This is not motivational leadership development.
This is disciplined performance coaching for leaders carrying real responsibility.
It is grounded in:
The Inner Game
Non-directive coaching for performance
Neuroscience and Chimp Management
Systems thinking and deep dialogue
High-performance sport
Behavioural strategy
Over forty years of international business experience
The framework is simple:
Greater Thinking → Greater Decisions → Greater Performance & Endurance
My role is equally simple:
To make the invisible visible, so you can act with clarity, presence and confidence, especially when it matters most.
Experience Without the Noise
My work is informed by four decades across global technology businesses, corporates, scale-ups and entrepreneurial ventures, including leadership, strategy, mergers and acquisitions, sales, and cultural transformation.
I have worked with organisations across Ireland, the United Kingdom and internationally, supporting leaders through growth, complexity, transition and exit.
That experience is not the point.
It is the grounding.
It allows me to see your world with realism, strategic depth and calm perspective, without drama, ego or performance.
If You Are Ready
If you are a leader who senses that good is no longer enough and that greater requires space, not speed, then the shift starts here.
