For leadership teams
Steady under pressure. On purpose.
Your people are already capable. The question is whether their biology is keeping up. We decode each person's health data into two or three simple actions, then teach them to read and steer their own nervous system, live.
Personal health data is never shared with employers or other participants.
Why it matters
Pressure isn't the problem. Recovery is.
Travel and long days.
Rosters, flights and early starts chip away at sleep, meals and routine.
High-consequence decisions.
Clear thinking and steady attention matter most when the stakes are real.
Change and uncertainty.
The tools need to hold up when workload and disruption go up.
Already health-conscious.
Your people don't need generic advice. They need clarity on what matters for them.
Not more willpower. Better information.
Read this first
Your data is yours.
Full stop.
“Will my boss see my blood results?”
No. Never.
- Your results stay between you and Carlyle.Bloods, genetics, glucose, heart data. All of it.
- Your employer never sees your personal data.Not a summary. Not a score. Not a flag.
- Your colleagues never see it either.In group sessions you choose what you share. The default is nothing.
- Leaders only ever see the team as a whole.On extended programmes, leadership gets an anonymised team before-and-after. No names. No individuals.
This is why it works. People are honest about their sleep, their stress and their habits, because they know the data is theirs. Honest data in. Useful answers out.
How it works
Four steps. One playbook.
Understand
What your biology says about how you handle pressure.
Proved in London
Bloods, glucose and HRV found each person's top two or three priorities.Regulate
Recognise your state in real time. Build a toolkit to shift it on purpose.
New since London
Live HRV training with XONE and the Polar H10.Experiment
Small, personal tests at home, at work and on the road. Keep only what works.
Proved in London
Tiny, repeatable changes. Not a programme to survive.Apply
Turn insight into a playbook you can use when it counts.
Proved in London
The team still uses the tools today.Five sources. One picture.
- Genetics. How you're wired.
- Bloodwork. What's going on inside.
- Glucose (CGM). Energy in real time.
- Nutrition analysis. What fuels you.
- Wearables. Sleep, recovery, activity.
Here's the thing most people miss.
Your brain runs on a map of your body. Under constant pressure, parts of that map slide from 4K to old black-and-white TV. The signal is still there. It's just blurry. Upgrade the map, and the output changes.
Then and now
Then, a recorder. Now, a mirror.
In London, heart rate variability showed how people coped after the fact. Now it shows what's happening right now, so you can change it.
HRV in one breath. Your heart doesn’t tick like a metronome. The gaps between beats stretch and shrink all day long.
That flexibility is a live readout of your nervous system. More flexible usually means more capacity in reserve. Think of it as your body’s stress dial.
Then: London
The recorder
Firstbeat, worn for 24 to 72 hours
- Looks backwards
- Report arrives after the event
- Shows how you coped
- Great for measuring change
Now: in the room
The mirror
XONE, Carlyle's own platform, on a Polar H10
- Live, in the moment, on your own phone
- Feedback while you practise
- Teaches you how to shift state on purpose
- Built and run by Carlyle, not a third-party wellness app
Why it matters. Self-regulation is a skill, not a personality trait. And like any skill, it builds faster with instant feedback.
Slow your breathing and watch the signal settle. Think about a hard conversation and watch it jump. People stop reading about regulation and start doing it.
How the room works. Everyone sees their own live signal on their own phone. Nobody else does.
To bring it to life, Carlyle puts his own live signal on the big screen first. If anyone wants to share theirs, that's their call. No one's screen goes up without their say-so.
Measure it. See it. Shift it.
Case study: London investment banking boutique
Nothing was broken. That's the point.
A six-person senior deal team at a London investment banking boutique. Sharp, experienced, already performing. Leadership wasn't fixing a problem. They were thinking ahead. Six months later, all three layers had moved together: health, regulation and thinking.
- Better stress to recovery balance
- +30%
- Fewer blood sugar swings
- −24%
- Thinking measures improved, independently verified
- 3 of 3
Health and recovery
Team averages, month 0 and month 6

Working memory
Holding more in your head at once, without dropping pieces

Focus under distraction
Less pulled off course by noise and interruption
What this means
4% sounds small. It isn't. Across a whole team making big calls every day, a 4% lift in the right places is a structural edge.
Two years later, the tools were still part of how the team worked.
The real test of any programme isn't the six-month number. It's what's still standing long after.
