GO Sessions
GO Sessions is a development programme for men who want to keep performing and keep developing, without work taking more room at the expense of recovery, training, relationships and the rest of what matters.
Over six months you work with concrete methods, experts, individual coaching and a fixed group of other participants. You try changes in daily life, follow up on what works and adjust what does not.
Register your interestThe need
You can do good work, carry responsibility and reach your goals while everything else gradually gets less room.
Training becomes irregular. Recovery waits. Time with the family is less than you would like. Being present gets harder when a lot is competing for your attention.
Usually you already know what you should do. The hard part is making it work when the job demands a great deal.
GO Sessions is built for that situation.
Purpose
GO is not about performing less.
The purpose is to develop how you lead yourself, so that performance, recovery, physical health, relationships and your own priorities work better together.
The work starts from five areas:
Identity & Purpose
What you want to accomplish, what matters to you, and how that shapes your priorities.
Emotional & Mental Ability
How you react under pressure, handle emotion, and relate to yourself and to other people.
Connection
How you function alongside other people — at home, at work and in the other relationships that matter.
Mission & Mastery
What you want to get better at, and which skills and behaviours you need to develop.
Physical & Vital Health
Training, sleep, recovery, energy and the physical capacity your performance runs on.
Goal
You set the goals for your own work during GO.
That might mean getting regular training back. Recovering better. Changing how you react under pressure. Being more present at home. Prioritising better. Developing one specific skill. Or getting clearer about what you want to spend your time and energy on.
CLAIM'N does not decide what you need to change.
The programme gives you methods, people and follow-up to help you work on what you want to develop.
Methods
CLAIM'N protocols give you concrete ways to work on different parts of your performance and development.
A protocol can cover recovery, training, how you act under pressure, relationships, priorities or one behaviour you want to change.
Experts contribute knowledge in their own fields.
In individual coaching you take the part that is relevant to you further, and decide what to try or change in daily life.
In the group you also get access to other participants' experience, perspectives and ways of solving problems.
Learning between participants
You do not come to GO only with what is not working.
You also bring experience, knowledge and ways of working that others can learn from.
One man has found a way to train despite a full calendar. Another has got better at handling pressure. A third has changed how he prioritises his family, or how he leads the people around him.
During GO, participants share both their challenges and the things they have already got working.
You do not have to do what anyone else does. But you get more experience to learn from, more ways of seeing your own situation, and more things to try.
Men sharpen men.
How the work runs
The development does not only happen during the sessions.
You choose what you want to do differently, and try it between the sessions.
In coaching and at the next session you go back over what actually happened.
If it worked, you carry on. If it did not, you work out why and adjust.
That way GO is not something you listen to or talk about. The work continues in daily life between the sessions.
The system outlasts the motivation.
Programme structure
GO Sessions runs for six months.
You go through the programme with a fixed group. In the sessions you work in groups of four, which gives every participant time on his own questions and a part in everyone else's.
Between sessions you book individual coaching and keep working on what you have chosen to change.
The next session follows up on what has happened since.

Your commitment
Each month includes one GO Session, one individual coaching conversation and one meeting with your fixed group. Allow roughly four to five hours for the meetings, plus whatever time you choose to spend on what you are working on between them.
Benefits
GO Sessions exists to create changes that hold up when daily life is demanding. The work can help you to:
What participants change
Something very concrete that I had known for decades, but never really acted on.
One participant described how the coaching took him from something he had known for a long time to actually doing something about it.
My wife and my children noticed I had more energy, and got curious about what I was doing.
Who ever asks how your recovery is going?
That is a large part of GO: not only what you understand during the programme, but what actually becomes different between the sessions.
In closing
You do not need to move on to anything else within CLAIM'N.
If you want to continue after GO Sessions, there are other settings within CLAIM'N.
GO Sessions should be worth the six months in itself.
We are planning the next round of GO Sessions. Register your interest and we will be in touch when the dates and the rest of the details are settled.
