The Cognitive Signature Assessment
Find The Bottleneck
Costing You 10+ Hours a Week.
A focused 90-minute exploration that maps the hidden patterns shaping how you think, decide, and act — and reveals the exact bottleneck that is costing you the most clarity, creativity, and energy.
Most of what shapes your
thinking is invisible to you.
Every leader has a cognitive signature – a specific, individual pattern of how they process information, make decisions, and respond under pressure.
Most of that pattern operates below conscious awareness. It was shaped by decades of experience, feedback, and adaptation. It is not random. And it is not fixed.
In a focused 90-minute session with Dain Dunston, we map that pattern. We identify the specific cognitive and somatic habits that are shaping your thinking – including the ones that are quietly draining your clarity, your creativity, and your energy.
When you see what lies beneath, the way ahead becomes clearer.

90-Minute Assessment Session
A structured, one-on-one session with Leonard. We map your override patterns, identify your primary cognitive bottleneck, and test a hypothesis about what’s costing you the most bandwidth.
Your Cognitive Blueprint
A personalized document that maps your specific patterns – what triggers override, where bandwidth leaks, and the exact mechanism keeping you stuck. This is yours to keep.
5-Minute Daily Protocol
A precise, body-based practice calibrated to your specific patterns. No apps. No dashboards. Just a protocol you can use anywhere, anytime, in under 5 minutes.
Is This For You?
This is for you if:
- You're a senior leader, founder or top creative
- You make good decisions but don’t trust them
- You consume information without creating anything new
- You feel exhausted. Recovery doesn’t restore you anymore
- You suspect the body is part of the problem but don't want vague wellness advice
This is not for you if:
- You're looking for quick productivity hacks
- You want someone to tell you what to think
- You're seeking certainty rather than clarity
- You're not willing to observe your own patterns honestly
