We think better, feel better, communicate better and perform better when we’re in a state of calm, composure and clear thinking.
The Program
TACTICAL COMPOSURE is an engaging, strengths-based program that teaches a set of proven composure tactics, that build resilience, calm, focus. The tactics also create a buffer to stress, anxiety and depression. Flow on effects to productivity, communication and wellbeing are also expected, if tactics are practiced over time.
The skills (tactics), that are demonstrated in-session, learned quickly and immediately transferrable into one’s work and home life. The program is primarily provided in group-based format for workplaces and community organisations, over the course of a few days (separated by 4-6 weeks of exercises). However, we can tailor the format to suit the operational and cultural needs of the group depending your objectives for the program (including individual composure coaching and small groups in video-conferencing)

The Definitions
TACTICAL COMPOSURE: deliberately applying practical composure tactics and exercises, for longer-term benefits in resilience, productivity and wellbeing.
As an effective behavioural response, TACTICAL COMPOSURE is the action of deliberately applying composure and preparation tactics in order to manage potentially stressful or demanding situations, that are likely to recur. This involves recognising recurring things that bother us, reframing our thoughts around them, regulating our tension levels down toward the ‘green zone’ and responding with a chosen approach that’s likely to serve us and the situation well.
For leaders and managers, TACTICAL COMPOSURE is a pathway to MINDUL LEADERSHIP and WISE DISCERNMENT!
TACTICAL: Relating to small-scale actions serving a larger purpose. “Think.. practical, discreet, reliable, mobile.”
COMPOSURE: The state of being calm and in control of oneself. “Think.. cool, clear, conscious, centred.”

Participants may focus on achieving one or more of these tactical short-term or longer-term objectives:
- Improved ability to self-regulate towards a state of cool, calm alertness and clear thinking, regardless of the hassles in daily life.
- Improved ability to maintain composure in the face of challenging situations: to face up to these situations, stay there, pay attention on purpose and NOT REACT (negatively).
- Improved ability to identify triggering situations and to prepare effective tactics to maintain composure, responsiveness and constructive actions – before, during and after the situation.

- I feel more connected to colleagues and family
- I was able to relax on cue and not get overwhelmed by frustrations
- I noticed my deliberate composure influenced others positively
- I was able to identify my own effective tactics and reinforce them by using them more deliberately
