Lighter for Organisations - Reclaiming Intelligence in a Performance Culture

High-performing environments often mistake pressure for productivity.

But constant visibility, comparison and evaluation increase self-monitoring - and self-monitoring consumes cognitive capacity.

The result?

Overthinking.
Cautious decision-making.
Burnout masked as professionalism.
Creativity suppressed by perceived judgement.

LIGHTER introduces a neurological and behavioural framework for reducing performance pressure and restoring clarity.

Delivered through keynotes, workshops and culture reset sessions.
