The Programme in depth

Brilliance Through Resilience™ works in four steps: your biology and psychology are measured, brought together in a personal Performance Profile, and turned into a practical plan through one-to-one coaching with Dannielle Haig. Here is what each step involves and why it matters.

Step 1

Assess

An at-home DNA test (about 10 minutes) and a digital psychometric assessment (12 to 15 minutes), plus a short questionnaire about your career, ambitions and life outside work, so your coaching is shaped around you.

Your DNA test

Our DNA Resilience Test is a cutting-edge genetic analysis programme designed specifically for leaders. Through a quick, pain-free at-home blood test taking just ten minutes, it explores your genetic makeup to uncover the traits that contribute to your resilience and effectiveness.

The goal is to help you understand the seven genetic factors that shape your ability to lead under pressure and excel in a competitive business environment. Our test examines the seven pivotal molecular pathways shaping resilience: cortisol, oxytocin, neurotrophic factors, neuropeptide Y, norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin. By identifying these genetic traits, you can harness your innate strengths and address the areas that need strengthening with personalised solutions.

Your questionnaire

Alongside your test and assessment, you complete a short questionnaire about your career, your ambitions and your life outside work. It gives Dannielle the context the numbers cannot: what you are building towards, what is currently drawing you down, and what a realistic change looks like in your week rather than in theory.

Step 2

Your Performance Profile

Your results, brought together in your Performance Profile, showing how your biology, psychology and behaviour shape the way you perform under pressure, including your Resilience Balance Sheet™ profile.

The report is yours to keep in digital and hard copy, and it sets the agenda for your coaching session, so the conversation starts from your actual results rather than general advice.

Step 3

Coaching with Dannielle

A 90-minute one-to-one session with Dannielle to interpret your Performance Profile and turn it into a practical plan for how you work, lead and recover.

The debrief is led by Dannielle Haig personally, one of London's preeminent executive and performance coaches. Her expertise across business psychology, psychotherapy and leadership transforms raw data into actionable strategies, creating a targeted developmental journey. The session is designed to translate your genetic and psychological insights into peak leadership performance, tailored to your specific role and pressures. You will receive a hard and soft copy of all your notes, solutions and personal action plan.

Ahead of your session, you complete a confidential intake, reflecting on your role, your current pressures and what you want to achieve. It means our time together starts already focused on you, so that every genetic and psychological insight is shaped into a plan built for your specific situation, rather than a generic one.
