The River Dialogues Course

You built something.

From the outside, it works, but inside, something stays tight.

You carry pressure well.
You decide quickly.
You hold it together.

But the vigilance never quite switches off, even at home, even when things are quiet.

You’re not tired from leading. You’re tired from defending.

This is for you if:

• You can’t fully switch off, even when nothing is urgent
• You’re the one everyone relies on, and it’s starting to cost you
• Your thinking is constant, fast, and hard to slow down
• You step in too quickly to solve others' problems, and it’s limiting your team
• You know something isn’t right… but you wouldn’t call it burnout

You’re still performing. But you’re carrying more than you need to.

This is a 30-day experience built around The River Dialogues.

A simple way to notice what’s actually driving your thinking — so you can lead without constant internal pressure.

You’ll learn to recognise four presences:

• The Stag — the part of you that carries responsibility
• The Rat — the voice that protects through urgency and control
• The Wren — the question that cuts through the noise
• The River — the place beneath it all that doesn’t react

What changes in 30 days

By the end of this, you’ll be less driven by the wrong voice.

You’ll be able to:

• Recognise when pressure is distorting your thinking
• Hear the internal voice without automatically obeying it
• Make decisions with less noise and hesitation
• Stay present in conversations that normally pull you away
• Switch off — without feeling like everything will fall apart

The outcome

You stop reacting automatically
and start choosing how you lead — in real time.

How it works

Simple. Quiet. Precise.

• 8 x live online sessions, 2 per week (75 mins)
  A space to slow down and see clearly
• Daily short dialogues
  Read or listen in minutes.
• Direct access (WhatsApp)
  When something real is happening — not later
• Small cohort (max 8 leaders)
  No hiding. No noise. No performance

Join a small group of leaders who carry responsibility and rarely have space to think clearly

You’ll be part of a private cohort of founders and senior leaders who are used to being the one others rely on.
Not a networking group. Not a forum.

A space where real conversations happen — without performance, posturing, or pressure to have the answer.

You won’t be given advice from strangers.
You’ll hear yourself think more clearly — alongside others who recognise the same patterns.

• Your thinking becomes cleaner
• Your decisions feel lighter
• Your presence stabilises people
• And you’re actually there where it matters

About Andrew

Andrew Sillitoe works with leaders who carry significant responsibility and want to think clearly under pressure.

After 17 years in management consulting, building and leading high-performing sales teams, he became Head Coach for Great Britain Inline Hockey Team, guiding them to international success.

Today, he lives in Prague with his wife Lucie and their four children, where his work is shaped as much by conversations with leaders as it is by quiet walks along the Vltava River.

When he’s not coaching, you’ll usually find him on the ice rink — still playing, still learning, still carrying just enough.
