12 months of ongoing, weekly support
This is the level of support required to make real change. No matter what's happening, you will have a consistent, accessible and relatable outlet to raise concerns, seek guidance and connect with other FIFO leaders.
1 x 45 minute group coaching call per week (valued at $750 per call)
This is your space to ask for support, debrief, seek guidance and learn from other leaders in the space. Having a set, consistent outlet means you won't have to carry your stress or concerns for weeks on end.
Calls will run weekly on Fridays at 7am AWST.
FIFO Friendly, Self-Paced Modules
NO big lectures and NO overwhelming work load, because FIFO leaders are busy as it is. Our online modules cut to the chase. They're short videos and templates designed to make learning and up-skilling as simple as 5 minutes a day. Maybe while one of your crew drive you back to camp?
Accountability
When you give us permission to hold you accountable to making the changes necessary, we do not stop until you complete your commitment to yourself. We do not let our leaders quit on themselves, because we know the ripple effect it can have, when our leaders take action, even in the face of fear .
Simple, actionable stress management tools
You need tools that are quick, easy and effective. Tools that don't require you to have a silent, dark room and 30 minutes off the job. You'll have a library of tools that we've seen work first hand, across 100's of site visits, for 1000's of FIFO workers. From the anxious newly promoted supervisors, worried their friends no longer respect them, to the superintendent with too much going on at home and the manager who just can't seem to switch off.
Effective emotional intelligence tools
You don't need to spend hours meditating and journalling to understand your emotion or how it impacts your life. You need simple tools that cut through the noise and allow you to create safety in your body, so you can put a stop to self destructive behaviours.
1 x 45 min, 1on1 strategy call
This strategy call will help us set you up for success. We'll identify personal and professional goals, the action items to hold you accountable to and the tools that will benefit you the most.
What online modules will you have access to?
Our online modules are self-paced and self-selected. You choose what modules are the best fit for you and the challenges you face right now, and you choose how long you spend on them. We've designed these modules to be as simple as 5 minutes a day or 35minutes once a week.

Specifically designed to ease the load on our FIFO leaders.
One thing we've learned over the years, is that when we leave site, the mental health conversation has well and truly started..
BUT..
Not all leaders have the emotional intelligence, or the tools to navigate this with confidence. And mental health first aid alone just isn't enough!
Most find themselves overwhelmed, either avoiding the emotional conversations, or launching into them with fingers crossed, often wondering if they've said or done the right thing.
As a result, they shut down mentally and emotionally to cope. This impacts their team, then slowly makes it's way back home, creating tension and separation.
It becomes harder to be present during RnR, and the people around these leaders tend to feel disconnected or as if they don't really matter.
As a leader, with targets to hit, people to manage and a home life to balance, it can become hard to see what's not quite working. Usually, it hits a tipping point where we just need to release some of the tension. This often leads to doing something we regret, quitting unexpectedly or just shutting down entirely.
In this mastermind we'll support you no matter what stage you're at in your leadership journey. With our support and strategies, we'll take you from stressed, disconnected and concerned, to calm, clear and confident.
You'll have clarity on what needs work, the confidence to take action and a sense of calm through the entire process.
The result?
A life that feels smooth, like someone added suspension under your seat for those backroad adventures. Flourishing relationships where you understand each others needs, and communicate respectfully. Teams that don't just turn up, but go above and beyond for a leader they trust, and who they feel trusts them.
So, who is this Mastermind for?
This mastermind is for the FIFO leader (or aspiring leader) who wants to better themselves personally and professionally, so that their development ripples throughout their team and their home life. It's for the leader who wants to be better. The leader that wants to create cohesive, trusting and productive teams. It's for the leader who wants to make a difference.

Applying for the Mastermind
We want to ensure our FIFO leaders genuinely want to be a part of the mastermind, rather than being forced as a part of their role. We want to know that the people we are serving, want to better themselves, while creating psychologically safe environments...
This means, we don't just take anyone who shows interest. This is to protect the cohort, by ensuring we have the right people with the right intentions.
