Transform your focus, performance and wellbeing by fortifying the Four Dimensions of Focus—a science-based approach to fulfilling your potential.
Focus is arguably the most important resource we have to achieve our goals. It’s what scientists refer to as a ‘core cognitive function’. Like a lens, it directs energy and resources towards a singular goal, making it a keystone of success.
High performance organisations, high performance teams and high performing individuals, all cultivate and harness a state of optimal focus.
But focus has become hard to come by. We now live in a stream of continuous notifications, updates, messages, emails and more. Our interconnected world has come at the cost of quality concentration.
With focus impacting almost every area of our work and lives, our fractured mental state is hurting our businesses, our families and our mental wellbeing.
Whether you're playing a sport, creating art or working in an office, if your focus is fractured or your mind is distracted, your performance will suffer. Every great athlete, performer or professional has developed strategies to help them protect, nurture and cultivate optimum focus. This program provides the insights, tools and support to accelerate your journey towards mastering focus and enhancing performance.
If practice makes perfect, then focused practice makes perfect fast. There is a direct correlation between the quality of your focus and the acquisition of new skills. Improve your focus and you improve your ability to acquire new skills.
If we dig beneath the surface of many mental challenges, we find the mind ruminating on thoughts which generate negative effects. Strengthening your control over focus allows you to short circuit this process, take control and guide your mind to more productive thoughts and actions. It also allows you to live a more mindful life, live more in the present and is a channel for appreciation and positive experience.
Improving focus allows you to be less distracted and more present with loved ones, laying the foundation for a more fulfilling and connected relationship.
The quality of your focus directly impacts the time it takes you to complete a task and the quality of your work. Unfortunately, most companies organically create a state of fractured focus for their employees, hindering performance and hurting productivity. Improving the quality of focus drives up the productivity of individuals, teams and organisations.
Focus is the gateway for encoding memory. If you only have low quality or fractured focus, your memory will be far from your potential.
Tension can often arise in an office from the way staff inadvertently treat each other's focus. They can often feel agitated and frustrated by the constant state of interruption. By reducing the interruptions and deepening the respect for each other's focus, engagement and morale often increase as a consequence.
Interruption is not collaboration. As we journey into improving focus we develop more sophisticated ways of interacting and collaborating as teams. We build a culture which fuels focus and collaboration simultaneously, resulting in improved individual and team performance.
Built upon decades of research into the neuroscience of attention and refined over years of delivery at some of Australia’s most respected organisations, this program will change your relationship with focus forever.
As you voyage into Kognitive’s proprietary Four Dimensions of Focus, get ready to be challenged, inspired and empowered. Get ready to—Maximise Focus.
In Maximise Focus, you’ll discover how to:
Created by Kognitive’s in-house neuropsychologist and managing director, the Four Dimensions of Focus combines the latest discoveries from cognitive science with practical tools and strategies which help you, your team and your organisation unlock unprecedented focus, performance and wellbeing in four simple steps.
The outside world—everything from those pesky notifications to an uncomfortable chair or a coworker—can destroy your concentration.
In the first dimension we explore the relationship between your focus and your surroundings. We help you craft an environment which fuels focus while finding balance between deep work, responsiveness and collaboration.
You’ll discover how much information the brain can really process, the truth about multitasking, task switching and the ultimate cost of distraction.
Outer focus delivers 10 practical tools to help you optimise your environment, communication and concentration, and discover how to adapt them to your context and goals.
Science has identified that even if we create the “perfect” environment for deep focus, we still distract ourselves more than anybody else could distract us.
In the second dimension, we journey inwards, analysing the internal operating system of focus and your relationship with your own mind.
We work on conquering internal distractions, becoming more mindful, increasing attention span, leveraging concentration cycles and unlocking flow.
Armed with 20 practical tools, the second dimension lays the foundation for increased resilience and mental wellbeing, improving focus control and unlocking unprecedented productivity.
Even if we have optimised the external environment and improved our ability to control our inner focus, unless we are eating, sleeping, moving and breathing optimally, our focus and our performance will be far from its full potential.
In the third dimension, you’ll uncover alarming scientific discoveries which reveal how many of our daily habits have a deleterious effect on our concentration and wellbeing.
Get ready to be surprised as we explore the interconnection between food, movement, sleep, breath and attention.
Packed with over 30 practical tools to help you refine your daily habits, the inter dimensions helps you lay the foundation for sustained high-performance and focus.
Just like in physics—the fourth dimension of focus is—time. Now you have maximised your mental capacity to concentrate, the next step is to ensure you stay focused on what matters most over time.
In theory, this is simply prioritisation; in practice, however, it is much more complex.
In the fourth dimension, we delve into the cognitive building blocks of decision making and uncover how our cognitive biases can derail our prioritisation.
Armed with this deeper insight, you’ll uncover 10 practical tools to improve your planning, prioritisation and agility. The fourth dimension closes the loop on focus and sets you up for long-term success.

Maximise Focus utilises an agile approach which helps the team embed key behaviours in a consistent manner over time. It is structured as a series of short, sharp workshops delivered over multiple months, with ongoing support, check-ins and additional material provided between workshops.
Customised content has been developed for leaders, teams and cross-sectional groups, to ensure the benefits of Maximise Focus cascade through your business and life.
The training program includes:
Maximise Focus is for busy, aspiring, ambitious professionals. The program is offered in three distinct versions which address the unique needs of specific stakeholders.
Time management and wellbeing training programs give you a suite of tools, without helping you understand why they work (or more often than not, don’t work). They are a cooker cutter approach which focuses on relieving symptoms.
Maximise Focus, however, helps you understand how the human focus system works. From this deeper cognitive understanding we build customised tools and processes, which align with your personal preferences, to improve your focus and concentration. Improving your capacity to focus has flow through effects into your productivity, time management and wellbeing, as well as many other areas of your life.
Maximise focus addresses time management and wellbeing challenges at their core, i.e. in your cognition and behaviour, and helps you build solutions which get the best results for you.
On demand training sounds great in theory, but often fails in practice. Why? With on demand training there is no spontaneity, no human interaction, no back and forth wrestling with the ideas, content and people. All of the emphasis and motivation falls on you. Information flows unidirectionally and learning, engagement and ROI sufferers.
Live training (be it in person or online) is very different. It allows you to ask questions, encourages conversations and challenges you in real time. It is scheduled. It is social. It is effective.
Your entertainment works well on demand, but for major breakthroughs, we recommend you keep your learning live.
The standard Maximise Focus training program lasts four months. Each month we run a workshop on one of the Four Dimensions and support you during the month to implement the desired tools and behaviours. We are able to deliver this program over different time frames if required. Book a discovery call to explore the training length which will best meet your needs.
Yes, we have customised versions of our programs for online delivery. We use a suite of online tools, breakout rooms and interactive activities to maintain engagement levels, learning and ROI in an online format.
We are able to deliver training programs at most locations around the world. Additional fees apply for face-to-face training delivered outside of Melbourne. Some of the locations we have delivered training include Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Perth, Adelaide, Auckland, Christchurch, Barcelona, Madrid, London, Lisbon and Zurich. Training delivered outside of Melbourne, Victoria is subject to COVID travel restrictions.
There is no maximum size for the number of attendees for programs. We are able to accommodate groups of different sizes. Training for larger groups is structured differently to smaller groups and may involve breakout groups, multiple facilitators and other dynamic workshop elements.
That depends on your goal. For maximum interaction, conversation and engagement we recommend groups of 15 to 25 people. For maximum ROI per person, we recommend larger groups.
Yes, we offer a variety of customisation options. Book a discovery call to learn about the options and evaluate what makes most sense for your goals and budget.
