Full Programme Information
This page is for people who have said they’re interested in Atomic Ambition and want to understand exactly how it works, what’s involved, and whether it’s right for them.
Atomic Ambition is about making a clear, confident career decision where the stakes are high.
It’s for people who are prepared to invest some time and money now to positively the impact the rest of their career.
What Atomic Ambition is (and isn’t)
Atomic Ambition is a structured decision-making programme for experienced professionals and leaders who want to make a meaningful move within corporate life.
Most people who join:
Have a strong track record
Are well-regarded and well-paid
But feel uncertain about their next move
They are often deciding between things like:
Pushing for a more senior role
Moving laterally to reset trajectory
Changing organisation, scope, or environment
Atomic Ambition helps you slow the thinking down, remove noise, and arrive at a decision you trust.
This is not:
A motivational programme
A CV or interview course
A productivity system
A programme that tells you what you “should” do
Instead, it gives you a calm, proven process for thinking properly at a senior level.
Who this programme is for
Atomic Ambition is designed for:
Senior professionals and leaders
Typically 10+ years into their career
Working in corporate, professional services, or large organisations
Who want to make a considered, high-stakes career move
It is deliberately a small group, so the conversations are relevant, honest, and high quality.

Duration: 5 weeks
Live sessions: Mondays, 16:30–18:00 (UK time)

The structure (what to expect)

Structured reflection from you
A strong emphasis on:
Clarity
Trade-offs
Decision-making
Custom AI tools designed to help you think things through between sessions
Ongoing access to the Atomic Ambition Coach GPT, which you can continue using for the rest of the year
This isn’t about filling your calendar or giving you lots to do.
It’s about moving you from uncertainty to a clear decision, using a calm, structured, and proven process.
One-to-one support
Alongside the group programme, we have two one-to-one calls to make sure you’re getting maximum value:
Onboarding call
To set context, priorities, and make sure you’re clear on how to use the programme well.Mid-point check-in
To sense-check your thinking, make sure you’re on track, and address anything that feels stuck or unclear.
These calls are short, focused, and practical.
The peer group
This is one of the most valuable parts of the programme.
You’ll be working alongside:
Experienced professionals at a similar level
People who understand the stakes
People who are thinking seriously about their next move
There are no juniors, and no observers.
You will be the only person from your current company.
Confidentiality and trust are non-negotiable.

What we cover (week by week)
Week 1 – Resetting the question
We slow everything down and get precise about the decision you are actually trying to make.
Most people realise they’ve been wrestling with the wrong question.
Week 2 – Energy, strengths, and fit
You analyse what genuinely energises and drains you, using your real work history as data.
This removes a lot of noise and false logic.
Week 3 – Options and trade-offs
You explore credible corporate paths properly, without defaulting to what feels safe or expected.
We surface the real trade-offs between status, money, energy, and fulfilment.
Week 4 – Pressure-testing your direction
You test your emerging direction against impact, income, influence, time horizon, and regret.
This is where confidence is built.
Week 5 – From clarity to commitment
You leave with a clear decision and a practical view of what the next 6–12 months need to look like.
Time commitment
Most people spend:
90 minutes in the live session each week
Around 30–60 minutes reflecting or using the AI tools
This is designed to fit around a demanding senior role.

Nothing about this is rushed or overwhelming.
The aim is simple: to move you from uncertainty to a decision you trust.
I've helped hundreds of senior professionals.
I’m Mostyn Wilson. I’ve spent over 25 years working with ambitious professionals and leaders at different stages of their careers.
I built my own career inside a global professional services firm, KPMG, becoming a partner and holding senior leadership roles alongside my client work. I understand what it takes to succeed in complex, high-pressure corporate environments.
I’ve also made my own big career decisions, both while in KPMG and latterly stepping away from that world to build a business. That experience matters because I understand the real trade-offs involved in staying, moving, or pivoting.
You can find out more about me on my LinkedIn page and on my coaching / speaking website.
Frequently asked questions
Is this coaching or a course?
It’s both. It’s a structured decision-making programme with live facilitation, a comprehensive workbook, powerful AI tools, and peer discussion.
Will you tell me what to do?
No. The aim is for you to reach a decision you trust, but I’ll help you along the way. A lot.
Is this suitable if I want to stay in corporate?
Yes. This cohort is specifically focused on making a strong, confident move within corporate life. Whether that’s staying in your current company, or making a move elsewhere.
What if I miss a session?
Live attendance is encouraged, but all sessions are recorded and shared securely.
Is this confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality and trust are core to how the group works.
How much does it cost?
Atomic Ambition is a £1,700 investment. For most people who join, the salary uplift from their next move is way more than that. And that’s before you factor in increased motivation, confidence, and happiness.
What you’re really buying is:
– Relief from having made a decision
– Confidence when explaining your choice to others
– Enjoying your work again, rather than just getting through it
The benefits you get will last the rest of your career.
Will there be anyone else from my company on the programme?
No. It’s first come, first served. Only one person from any one company is allowed in.
What happens if I decide it’s not for me, once we’ve started?
If you decide within the first week that this isn’t for you, I’ll give you your money back.
Do I get any one-to-one time with you?
Yes, we’ll have a quick onboarding call before we start, and a check-in call part way through.
