Present Company is a private 12-month somatic leadership cohort. Each month: two online group sessions and two private 1:1 sessions. Four times a year: an in-person gathering in New York City. Beginning October 2026.

There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes with leading well. It doesn't announce itself. It accumulates — in the decisions that never stop, the compressed recovery, the growing distance between who you are when everyone needs something from you and who you actually are when no one is watching.

Most leaders carrying this won't name it directly. They are too capable, too self-aware, too accustomed to holding it together. What they notice privately is something different: that the way they have been functioning — however effectively — is no longer sustainable. That something has been slowly narrowing.

The issue is not capability. The issue is capacity.

Present Company was created for leaders in that exact place.

Most leadership development works at the level of mindset and behavior. This work goes deeper.

Present Company works at the level of the nervous system — where sustained pressure actually lives, where the patterns that shape your decisions, your relationships, and your health are held, and where durable change actually happens.

Not through optimization or another high-performance framework — through the slower, more durable work of building the internal and relational capacity to carry meaningful responsibility over time, without losing yourself or abandoning what matters most to you in the process.

Most leadership development works at the level of mindset and behavior. This work goes deeper — to the nervous system, which is where sustained pressure actually lives.

When a leader has been operating under chronic stress, urgency, and relational demand for long enough, the nervous system adapts. It begins running stress responses as a baseline — affecting not just how you lead, but how you sleep, how you recover, how you connect, and over time, your physical health. The vagus nerve — the primary pathway of the body's regulation system — is now one of the most researched connections between psychological stress and physical outcomes: cardiovascular health, immune function, inflammation, digestion, emotional resilience.

A session doesn't look like therapy.
It doesn't look like coaching.
It looks like paying close attention to what's happening in you — and building the capacity to work with it rather than around it.

This is what makes the change durable. Not insight. Not strategy. A nervous system that has actually reorganized.

The state a leader leads from shapes everything — decisions, communication, conflict, trust, the field they create around them, and their quality of life.

Conducted entirely online — from wherever you lead.

Four times a year, the cohort gathers in person in New York City. You don't need to be based in New York — participants are welcome to travel in.

I

The Teaching

Every first Wednesday · 12:00–1:00pm EST · Online

Once a month the cohort meets online for structured learning — nervous-system-informed frameworks, leadership application, and practical tools leaders can begin using immediately. The content is built around the actual conditions of senior leadership: how pressure affects decision-making, why clarity collapses under sustained urgency, what it takes to remain relational when everything is pulling toward reactivity. Grounded, practical, and directly applicable to the leadership reality each participant is living.

II

The Circle

Every third Wednesday · 12:00–1:00pm EST · Online

The second monthly session is slower. More spacious. Built for a different kind of work. Most leaders spend their days solving, deciding, managing, performing. The Circle creates a different kind of room — one where leaders can sit with what is emerging, be received without advice or analysis, and practice the kind of presence that sustained pressure tends to erode. Over time it becomes something most senior leaders have stopped expecting to find — a space where they are genuinely known. Not for what they produce or what they carry, but for who they actually are.

III

The One:One

Two private sessions per month · Scheduled directly with your practitioner · Online

Each participant is matched with one practitioner at intake and works with that same person privately across all twenty-four sessions of the year. This is where the work becomes specific to you — your particular pressure patterns, your nervous system, your leadership realities, the exact places where capacity holds or breaks down. The group creates shared language and structure. The One:One makes it personal. The relationship is the container.

IV

The Table

Quarterly · Thursday evenings · New York City

Four times across the year, the cohort gathers in person in New York City in spaces curated for warmth, beauty, and meaningful conversation. These gatherings are not networking events. They are the relational heart of the cohort — the moments when the people you have been working alongside online become people you have actually broken bread with. When the isolation that so many senior leaders carry privately begins, quietly, to lift. And when you remember what it feels like to have truly enjoyed yourself with people who know what you carry.

The Whole Capacity Method™

The nervous system work is the mechanism. Sustainable leadership capacity — and a fuller, more human life — is the outcome. The year has a shape: it moves from awareness to recovery to response flexibility to integration, each phase building on the last, each one specific to the actual conditions of your leadership.

Phase 01

Awareness

Recognizing the state you are leading from before pressure shapes your decisions, communication, and relationships without your awareness.

Phase 02

Recovery

Building reliable access to restoration, steadiness, and sustainable energy. Not as a luxury. As a leadership practice.

Phase 03

Response Flexibility

Expanding your capacity to respond rather than react under pressure, conflict, and uncertainty — something accessible in real time, not just understood in hindsight.

Phase 04

Integration

Bringing new capacity into the relationships, decisions, and leadership presence that matter most.

By the end of the year, participants leave with more than insight. They leave with durable capacity — internal, relational, and physiological — that holds under the actual conditions of their leadership and enables a high quality of life.

State Awareness

The ability to recognize the state you are leading from before pressure shapes your decisions, communication, or relationships — often without your awareness.

Recovery Access

Reliable practices that restore steadiness, energy, perspective, and choice. Not as a luxury — as a foundational leadership practice you can actually use.

Response Flexibility

More capacity to respond rather than react in moments of pressure, conflict, uncertainty, or relational intensity — in real time, not just in reflection afterward.

Relational Steadiness

A stronger ability to remain connected to yourself and others when leadership becomes complex, relational, or emotionally demanding.

Integrated Presence

A way of leading that is not split between performance and the person underneath it — where what you know and who you are becomes how you actually lead.

Sustainable Capacity

A deeper ability to carry meaningful responsibility without organizing your life around urgency, depletion, or disconnection from yourself and others.

For leaders who are still capable — but honest enough to know something has to change.

This cohort is for senior leaders carrying meaningful responsibility inside environments of sustained pressure, complexity, and relational demand — founders, executives, healthcare leaders, creative leaders, organizational decision-makers — people for whom leadership is not an occasional activity but a sustained condition.

Most participants are already highly capable. Many are functioning well externally. What they notice privately is something different: a growing distance from themselves and from the kind of connection that makes leadership sustainable.

If you have been waiting for a room where you don't have to perform certainty — this is that room.

Participants often carry

  • Chronic urgency that doesn't resolve between demands
  • Compressed recovery and increasing exhaustion
  • Emotional overextension with nowhere to put it
  • The sense that identity has become inseparable from role
  • Relational isolation despite being surrounded by people
  • Difficulty accessing the clarity and steadiness they know they're capable of
  • A private sense that the current way of holding responsibility is no longer sustainable

They do not need more motivation, tactics, or another framework. They need a more sustainable way to carry what they are already carrying.

Senior Somatic Experiencing Practitioner

Jenn brings 18 years of clinical experience to the intersection of nervous system science and high-performance leadership. A graduate of Brandeis University and a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, she has spent her career working with business owners, CEOs, and professional athletes — people for whom the stakes are high and the cost of dysregulation is real. Grounded in over a decade of bodywork and somatic practice alongside her clinical training, she holds the precision that allows the most complex material — the patterns that don't respond to strategy alone — to be worked with effectively and moved into lasting change.

Alicia Divers, MA

Somatic Executive Coach

Alicia brings more than two decades of experience holding people inside complexity — as a group facilitator, community leader, and somatic practitioner. She has spent her career in rooms where the stakes are high and the work is human: organizational leadership, cross-cultural service, and now nervous-system-informed leadership development. She holds group spaces with grounded, generous attention — and brings somatic depth into direct leadership application in ways senior leaders can receive and immediately use.

Together they bring clinical rigor and program depth in equal measure. This cohort exists because of what they built together.

The practitioners behind Present Company have worked with founders, CEOs, healthcare leaders, and professional athletes across more than two decades of combined practice.

Four evenings a year in New York City, curated with intention.

These gatherings are designed for warmth, beauty, and meaningful conversation — spaces where the performance can come down and something true gets said. Each one holds what the online work has been building all year.

We are most human when we are with others. The Table exists to make that possible.

Enrollment · October 2026

Four sessions per month — two group, two private — plus four in-person evenings in New York City across the year. This is not a workshop, a wellness perk, or a standard coaching engagement. It is a full developmental year with a level of access and continuity that most executive support doesn't offer.

Eight to twelve leaders. One cohort. October 2026. Enrollment is limited and by conversation only.

The goal is not maximizing enrollment. The goal is assembling the right room.

Is this therapy?

No. This is somatic coaching, not psychotherapy. The work engages the nervous system directly — building capacity, awareness, and regulation — rather than treating symptoms or diagnosing conditions. It is developmentally focused and leadership-specific, and it pairs well with whatever other support participants already have in place.

How does somatic work translate online?

Surprisingly well. The nervous system work doesn't require physical proximity — it requires attention, presence, and a consistent relationship. The online format is intentional, not a compromise.

What is the time commitment?

Two one-hour group sessions per month, two private 1:1 sessions per month, and four in-person evening gatherings in New York City across the year. Roughly four to five hours per month total.

Do I need to be based in New York?

No. The cohort is conducted entirely online. Participants are welcome to travel in for the four in-person gatherings.

Who is this not for?

Leaders looking for tactical frameworks, quick wins, or a standard executive coaching engagement. This is a full developmental year — it requires genuine commitment to the work and to the cohort.
