PERSONAL READINESS:
the foundation
of every executive performance
Think clearer. Show up better. Maximize impact.
At the heart of every organization, the executives and a few individuals and teams hold the key to its success. These high-impact contributors, often not defined by hierarchy, are the ones who mitigate significant risks or deliver exceptional value. For them, achieving and sustaining high performance in a globally challenging business environment - that won't get easier - is not a matter of chance; it's a necessity that requires dedicated human performance support.
While these highly talented executives may have a strong expertise/track record, there is often insufficient cognitive, emotional, and physical capacity to sustain their performance day in and day out. Data reveals a sharp increase in human performance struggles among executives and their critical teams. This is an invisible risk for the company’s value agenda.
TIGNUM baselines and benchmarks their current energy leaks and missed performance gains. We learn about the critical milestones and analyze the human performance needs to exceed their expectations. We quickly assess the most critical place to start and then build a Personal Readiness Plan for each individual. We provide the foundations, cutting-edge insights, and proven methodologies to shape their human performance journey.

Our Story And Why Our Work Is The Foundation Of All Executive Performance
The inspiration to start TIGNUM came from a deeply personal place - the loss of our founders' fathers. They witnessed the relentless business professional narrative firsthand: push through, rest is for the weak, invest in yourself later, and results first. This was their badge of honor. Sadly, neither of their fathers experienced a well-deserved retirement. We knew there had to be a better way.
Quickly, we realized that this wasn’t just about health and wellness. While it was true that sick people underperform and improved well-being was a valuable outcome, a nuance was not being addressed. You can be healthy and well and still not perform at your best and even suck the energy from others. So, 20 years ago, we coined the term Sustainable High Human Performance and also later the term Personal Readiness.
Over the past 20 years, we’ve found Personal Readiness remains a missing foundation in the executive world. Leadership programs and business coaching are abundant, and while some individuals are curious to explore brain and body optimization (biohacking), many feel overwhelmed or confused by the volume of information available and struggle to apply it in their busy demanding lives.
In times of rapid acceleration, uncertainty, poly crises, and new intelligence (AGI), our data is clear: professionals struggle. They become more mentally and emotionally exhausted and less curious, more in pain and less thriving, more distracted and less focused, more biased and less open, more fragile and less agile, more self-centered and less giving.
This leads to lower performance quality, less mental agility to make better decisions under high load, less energy multiplication to their stakeholders, and ultimately less impact. We don’t want to accept that. Our passion is to help professionals to change that.
Our clients from many Fortune 500 companies across the globe got it and frequently told us that our work was a game changer. We aren’t just enhancing professional's health; we are giving them a foundation to think more clearly, show up better, and make a greater impact when it matters the most.
