RESULTS

Fliight's six-person team was moving fast and quietly running on empty. The signs were subtle but corrosive: fog, frustration, and a communication breakdown that was stalling progress. As one engineer put it, the disconnection was "carrying into work." Their co-founder and CEO, Kihan Garcia, described pushing through mounting overwhelm with no way to separate the personal from the professional. Each person was carrying it alone.

What changed things wasn't another wellness checklist telling them to sleep more and eat better. It was doing the inner work - together.

Over the program, the whole team learned to look beneath the surface: at the patterns, defaults, and unspoken tension shaping how they actually operated. And because everyone was doing it at once, something shifted that individual development never reaches. As John said member reflected, "when everyone's speaking the same language, it just changes how you operate."

The results showed up in the room. Conversations that used to be awkward became easy. Realignment that took days now took minutes. Tension dropped.

The individual breakthroughs were just as real. Andre - who'd never opened up to his parents - named that as the single most powerful shift he took away.

Measured against the Yerkes–Dodson performance curve, the team moved meaningfully out of the burnout zone and back toward sustainable peak performance - the state where a startup actually compounds.
