Collective Brilliance
A one-month C-suite intervention that solves what strategy can’t: leaders acting as individuals, not a team.
Imagine
A C-suite that moves as one—decisively, intuitively—through uncertainty.
A team that prioritizes enterprise momentum over functional wins.
The steady strength of hard-earned alignment—no resistance. Pure flow.
We combine a C-suite-exclusive diagnostic with an offsite built for how transformation happens at midlife.
The result?
Your team begins leading as one, with surprising ease.
When the C-suite truly aligns, everything moves.
-
From silos to strategic momentum.
At a leading Southeast Asian bank, our retreat series unlocked full alignment in the C-suite—fueling an 80% stock surge within two years.
-
From post-merger drift to game-changing focus.
At a digital insurer, our work post-merger unified a fragmented C-suite, driving clarity, seamless execution, and a successful acquisition.
-
Global research confirms it.
Aligned executive teams don’t just perform better—they outperform. Bain & McKinsey research shows they achieve 3X stronger business results and dramatically higher employee engagement.

"Even though it was a tough few days, the results were transformational and set us on a path which has been successful and which is still working very well for us 18 months later."

“Cultivates in individuals and teams a lasting sense of empowerment, resilience, and confidence; inspires collective insights. Profoundly impacted my way of working, thinking, and being.”
Aarti Ramaswami, Dean, ESSEC Business School
-
"The relentless focus on product, revenue, growth... had blinded us to the fact that our amazing people had built the best asset of all, a great team. Quite literally re-created our company!"
Terence Lyons, CEO, The Stakeholder Company
-
"It is transformative. Not an epiphany. A subtle discernment."
Mathilde Swierczynska, MD, Compliance, UBP - Union Bancaire Privée
Our engagement begins with the Emergence Indicator™—
a diagnostic that reveals the invisible patterns shaping your C-suite’s performance.
-
Why It Matters.
Even the most capable C-suites can stall—without knowing why.
80% of executive teams lack shared ownership and collective accountability (Leadership IQ).
65% struggle to prioritize the enterprise over their own function. (Center for Creative Leadership).
Only 18% of leaders rate their executive teams as ‘very effective.’ (Center for Creative Leadership).
This isn’t dysfunction. It’s drift—slow, invisible, and costly.
A quiet erosion of alignment, ownership, and enterprise momentum.
-
What It Unlocks.
The Emergence Indicator™ surfaces the hidden patterns behind that drift—so tension rises, truth lands, and energy flows again.
It’s built on a simple truth: at midlife, leadership begins to shift—naturally, quietly, powerfully.
Humility. Pattern recognition. Long-range perspective.
Already emerging in individuals—often without notice.
This diagnostic helps that shift take form at the team level—where it matters most.
-
How It Works.
Each executive completes a brief online reflection and a one-on-one conversation.
Findings are distilled into a clear, visual report—mapping the team across five essential C-suite dynamics:
Collective Leadership – Do we lead as one when it matters most?
Enterprise Ownership – Do we put the whole ahead of our part?
Unfiltered Conversations – Do we speak the hard truths, early and often?
Decisive Execution – Do we move together—clearly and with resolve?
Adaptive Capacity – Do we reshape ourselves fast enough to meet what’s next?
That clarity sets the stage for the Emergence Retreat™—
the first offsite designed to harness midlife’s transformative energy and turn it into C-suite momentum.
-
Leadership changes at midlife—most programs don’t.
The old leadership models weren’t wrong. They just didn’t know what came next.
Jim Collins described Level 5 Leadership—humility fused with fierce resolve.
Robert Kegan described the Self-Transforming Mind—holding paradox and complexity.
Almost mythic. Almost unreachable.
And both described them before reaching midlife.
At Aramyss, we’ve found something far more grounded: at midlife, these traits don’t need to be taught. They emerge—naturally—through changes already underway.
-
Midlife’s Winds of Change.
Midlife doesn’t announce itself with a curriculum.
It arrives through converging forces—physiological, neurological, and parental—that quietly reshape how leaders think, feel, and respond.
We call them the Winds of Change.
Left unexamined, they can push even seasoned leaders toward crisis or confusion.
But when understood and embraced, they become a natural source of strength: deeper calm, sharper discernment, and a renewed desire to serve something larger than self.
At Aramyss, we help C-suites tap into these shifts together—so what’s changing in each leader becomes the momentum of the whole.
-
Leading Through Quiet Conviction.
At the center of our work is something we call Radically Empowering Presence—a way of leading that replaces instruction with trust, and control with quiet conviction.
We don’t teach or advise.
We create space where seasoned leaders rise into a deeper kind of leadership—one marked by humility, presence, and the courage to let others lead with them.
