The PULSE Method™

The PULSE Method isn’t another leadership framework you study—it’s a transformative process that gets to the heartbeat of leadership. Born from the recognition that most capable leaders aren’t missing skills, they’re missing a connection to their own leadership pulse. We don’t teach you to be a leader; we help you find and strengthen your rhythm that drives real influence.

Delacave Consulting Pragmatic

P - PRAGMATIC:
Tools that work in real workplaces

The Pragmatic Process:
We start with your actual leadership challenges, not hypothetical scenarios. What conversation have you been avoiding? What team dynamic needs addressing? Which relationship feels stuck? Then we build practical approaches specifically for your situation, your communication style, and your organizational reality.

Real Example:
A manager struggling to give “harsh “feedback to what used to be his peer, yet now he is in a new leadership position. He learns a straightforward framework that addresses the behaviour without destroying the relationship. Immediately usable.

Delacave Consulting Pulse Under the Skin

U - UNDER THE SKIN:
Authentic leadership from the inside out

The Under-the-Skin Process:
Through guided self-exploration, and stepping out of your comfort zone, you'll uncover the internal narratives that either fuel or undermine your leadership effectiveness. Under guidance of excellent trainers that guarantee psychological safety , we look at what drives behaviour under the surface. We examine questions like: When do you give your power away, and why? Is it consciously done or not?

Real Example:
A team lead discovers that her reluctance to delegate stems from believing "If I don't do it myself, I'm being lazy." Once she recognizes this limiting belief, she can see how it's actually preventing her , & team from growing. The awareness creates permission to distribute meaningful work, which her team had been craving.

Delacave Consulting Pulse Method Lively

L - LIVELY:
Learning that energizes rather than exhausts

The Lively Process:
We approach leadership challenges like interesting puzzles to solve rather than heavy problems to fix. There's lightness in the work because we're not trying to fix what's broken—we're uncovering what's already working and amplifying it. This creates energy instead of draining it.

Real Example:
Usually, participants dread role plays or interactions in subgroups or in front of the group, yet 90% of the time the feedback often sounds like : “We wish there were even more role plays and group interactions”.

Our trainers make learning fun.

Delacave Consulting Pulse Sequential

S - SEQUENTIAL:
Building leadership strength progressively

The Sequential Process:
Because new behaviour needs to be anchored in the reality of the learner, we plan sessions with intervals of 2-3 weeks. Learnings and action plans can be put into practise with expected return on investment.

Real Example:
Day 1: planned on September, 3 weeks of applying learned concepts in real life. 
Day 2: October. Starts with the sharing of success and the continuation of skill development. Repeat according to the number of training days!

Delacave Consulting Pulse Method

E - EXPERIENTIAL:
Turning commitments into execution and measurable results

The Experiential Process :
Our approach ensures that learning doesn’t stop in the training room. Participants commit to concrete actions, apply them immediately, and track their progress. To guarantee impact, we build four anchors into every program:

  1. Establish Clear Metrics – Success is defined upfront, so participants and organizations know what progress to look for.

  2. Ensure Leadership Support – Senior leaders actively engage, reinforcing the importance of commitments and modelling change.

  3. Focus on Application – Skills are practised right away through real scenarios + immediate interaction, and action plans.

  4. Measure Long-term Impact – Results are revisited “x” months later to assess lasting behaviour change and ROI

Why PULSE works when other methods don't

Integrated Approach

Integrated Approach

Each element strengthens the others. Pragmatic tools without Under-the-Skin awareness create superficial change. Experiential learning without Sequential structure creates chaos. All five elements together create sustainable transformation.

Authenticity Centered

Authenticity-Centered

Everything flows from who you actually are as a leader, not who you think you should be. This creates sustainable change because you're not fighting your nature—you're refining it.
