Performance coaching

Founded by Cleo Shortland, the Wā Programme offers one-to-one coaching to build you up for your greatest work.

Designed with you in mind

You're moving into new territory. Something is ending. Priorities are shifting. Your body and energy levels may also be changing shape.

The self you built to succeed in the version before is still running the show. It did its job well. It has stopped fitting, and you can feel it.

The experience

Starting at the core of who you are, we explore what is true for you right now and where you’re headed.

This is where the vision lives, expansive and alive. Getting honest about what's yearning to come through you and into the world. Confusion and uncertainty show up here too, because you’re moving into unfamiliar territory. Old mindsets and old beliefs are shedding, and that's part of the work.

We geek out on the data presenting how you spend your time. Goals become part of the process together with a fluid structure that has you stepping into your future with disciplinary ease. The process becomes second nature. Intuitive decision making sits right alongside this work.

What emerges stays live and changing. It moves with each disruption and grows after every win.

(noun) time, season, period of time, interval, term, duration.

"Your positivity wasn't just uplifting, it was empowering. You have a way of helping people see what's possible rather than focusing on limitations, and helping them recognise their own strengths and potential. That gave me greater confidence in my own abilities, and I always left interactions with you feeling energised, capable, and more willing to back myself and take the next step forward. The lasting impact for me was a stronger belief in what I could achieve and the confidence to go after it."

What you receive

Fortnightly 90-minute video calls, one-to-one with Cleo.

An open communication line between calls, so what surfaces gets named as it happens.

A Trello board and visual tools that hold what's emerging across time, following what you’re creating.

US$2,000 a month, cancel anytime.

Kia ora, I’m Cleo Shortland

Burnout and chronic stress are poor representations of performance intelligence and I too have experienced these on the growth journey.

I’ve developed a system where I work with you to understand what’s really important then developing the worthy mindset to receive. Resistance lives here because you’re stepping into a place you haven’t been before, and the personalised processes we create for you will form the bridge between your vision and outcomes.

"My time working with Cleo was alchemical. I had never felt so deeply held and understood, a natural gift she holds. What stayed with me was a connection that transcended the surface and the ordinary. You could always tell that holding space energised her as much as it uplifted us both.

Through ritual, contemplation, deep enquiry and a focus on creating the future, Cleo sped up my personal evolution in a way only very few people can. Blending the rational and the creative, her structures and frameworks create a safe container for deeper magic to come through.

There is a true element of belief and magic in working with Cleo that goes far deeper than the mind, and you have to experience it to understand what can be created together. I made so much progress in those years, having Cleo hold my visions with unwavering faith. Cleo is the real deal.”
