NOUGHT POINT ONE®
Human Performance Innovation
New thinking & practical methods from elite sport, the Royal Marines and Scientific (PhD) Research, that rewire how leaders think, decide, and behave under pressure.
HIGH-STAKES DECISIONS
Adaptive Leadership System™
A leadership framework that trains executives to make better decisions in complex, high-stakes environments. It strengthens judgement, cognitive control, and command presence through applied decision science and pressure-based methods, helping leaders, teams, and organisations think clearly, act decisively, and remain behaviourally consistent when the consequences are real.
Leading effectively in complex, high-pressure systems requires:
- Attentional control
- Leadership architecture
- Threat vs challenge appraisal
- Working memory preservation
- Cognitive bandwidth management
CULTURE AS A PERFORMANCE SYSTEM
Elite Culture Engineering Model™
Designing environments that sustain performance under pressure. A performance-led approach to building cultures that actually work when it matters, aligning standards, language, and behaviour into a single operating system. Informed by experiences within elite sporting and military environments, and underpinned by organisational and behavioural science, the model cultivates cultures of care, respect, accountability, and consistency, treating culture as something you operate, not something you brand.
SUSTAINED HIGH PERFORMANCE
The Cognitive Endurance Programme™
A structured system for sustaining cognitive performance when the pressure is on. The system develops attentional control, emotional regulation, and workload management through repeatable behaviours, helping leaders maintain clarity, composure, and decision quality over time.
TRAINING FUTURE LEADERS
The NPO Academy
A development programme designed for emerging leaders and teams. It builds awareness of how behaviour changes under pressure, strengthens communication, and embeds NPO performance principles so newer leaders can perform reliably as demands increase.

”What started as a session on communication became a powerful exploration of teamwork, mentality, and high performance under pressure. Our team were fully engaged throughout, and the way Gareth translated his experiences into practical corporate insight was exceptional. If you want to build a truly high-performing team, I couldn’t recommend him enough.
Tom KendallManaging Partner, Partners&
”The NPO playbook was focused on rapid decision-making under pressure. Gareth delivered an excellent, highly relevant session that spoke directly to the realities faced by leaders operating across complex, high-threat environments. His style was professional, engaging, and accessible, translating performance principles into practical insights that leaders could immediately relate to and apply.
