For leaders at a turning point
What Lies Beneath
is what lies ahead.
Every leader carries a deep reservoir of experience, intuition, and possibility.
There are moments when the future asks more of you than your old thinking can provide.
This is one of those moments.
"Your genius didn't disappear.
It was simply covered over."
Researchers once discovered something astonishing: the creative and relational intelligence that made you curious, imaginative, and alive as a child — the intelligence that once felt effortless — gets systematically covered over as we grow into the roles and responsibilities of adult life.
It doesn’t disappear.
It waits.
At Reservoir, we work with leaders who sense that something essential in them is ready to re-emerge. Not as a retreat from the world, but as a deeper engagement with it — a more grounded, more creative, more fully alive way of leading and living.

THE WORK
The Cognitive Signature Assessment
Dain Dunston is an executive coach, author, and explorer of human potential. Over three decades, he has worked with leaders across industries and continents — not to optimise their performance, but to help them discover who they are when the role falls away.
His book Being Essential: Seven Questions for Living and Leading with Radical Self-Awareness has been called “what you get when Malcolm Gladwell and Carl Jung have a conversation.” It is a map for the journey inward — and a guide for bringing what you find there back into the world.
Dain co-created Reclaiming Genius with neuroscientist Dr. Leonard Khirug, whose research on neuroplasticity and cognitive patterns forms the scientific foundation of their shared work.

Every life has deeper currents.
Beneath the surface of our daily work and responsibilities, something in us is always learning, adapting, and searching for the next expression of who we can become. If something in this work speaks to you, we invite you to step into the current.
