InTheZone™ Masterclass
High-Performance Resilience for Stewards of Living Systems
Perform at Your Best. Sustain It Over Time
The InTheZone™ Masterclass is a live, neuroscience-based learning experience designed for people who steward living systems: leaders who carry responsibility for people.
These stewards operate under sustained pressure and complexity. They are expected to decide well, remain regulated, and perform at a high level over long arcs of responsibility. In many ways, the demands placed on them increasingly resemble those of corporate athletes, yet the systems they lead are human, relational, and alive.
This masterclass develops high-performance resilience: the biological capacity to perform optimally without burning out the system that makes performance possible.
What Makes InTheZone™ Different
Most performance approaches focus on effort, mindset, or productivity. InTheZone™ works at a deeper level.
It is grounded in neuroscience and systems biology, and teaches you how to run your brain and body as a living system: intelligently, efficiently, and sustainably.
This is not about coping. It is about optimising human performance while protecting long-term capacity.
Who This Masterclass Is For:
The InTheZone™ Masterclass is designed for individuals who:
- Steward living systems and carry responsibility for others
- Operate in complex, high-pressure environments
- Need to sustainably perform at their best (the corporate athlete)
You may choose to attend with your team, creating shared language and alignment around pressure, performance, and resilience.
What You Will Gain
By the end of the InTheZone™ Masterclass, you will:
- Understand how high-performance resilience emerges from biological systems, rather than willpower or motivation
- Learn a practical, integrated framework based on the Five High-Performance Domains
- Understand how these domains work together and differently to support clarity, energy, regulation, and sustained performance
- Learn how to apply this framework to yourself to optimise performance without burnout
- Learn how to use the same framework with your team, creating shared language, alignment, and sustainable high performance
- Gain perspective on applying this framework in a world shaped by hybrid intelligence, AI, and accelerating complexity
Master a coherent operating framework to lead a living system under pressure

What people are saying
“Understanding how the brain works helps leaders to better understand how processing information, problem- solving and making decisions impact those around us. Dr Etienne’s easy, conversational style of delivery and engagement makes the acquisition of knowledge and ability to apply simple and realistic, which definitely assisted me to assimilate the lessons learnt and capabilities acquired. Would recommend this to any leader striving to achieve success in their role and equipping themselves for the future!”

“I have just completed the Neurozone High Performance Course. What a delight! This was one of the best courses I had the privilege to be engaged in. The way the content was organised, the practical approach, the introduction to other resources, the visual support of concepts and the continuous repetition of important concepts were all conducive to my learning experience. I will definitely recommend this course.”
