What it's actually like to work together.
"Engagements with me aren't consulting in the traditional sense. I don't arrive with answers. I show up with a framework for finding them — together."
My work has two paths — strategy and coaching — and most real engagements use both. The path below shows the ways in, from a free first conversation to an ongoing partnership.
Start where it's easiest. Go as deep as the moment requires.
You don't have to know which one is right. Most people start with a free conversation, and the next step becomes obvious from there.
Two no-cost ways to start Free
AI Transformation Diagnostic — 10 minutes, online. See exactly where your initiative is stuck and what your first 90-day move is. If you want to go deeper after it, a one-on-one AI Strategy Review ($1,500) gives you a full strategic readout.
Discovery Conversation — a calm 30-minute call to explore whether we're a fit. No pressure, no pitch. A few short questions when you reach out, so I come ready to be useful.
The workshop
Building Your AI Strategy Partner. A live workshop, and the lowest-commitment way to experience how I actually think before any larger engagement. It's also the gateway to the Path Forward Session below.
High Performance Coaching
The High Performance Foundation Sprint. A 12-session, 1:1 coaching program — clarity, energy, focus, influence, courage, purpose — with structure and accountability between sessions. This is the personal-foundation path: the work that makes the strategy executable. Weekly (12 weeks) or twice-monthly (~6 months).
The Path Forward Session
A focused, 60-minute paid working session where we look closely at your situation and I propose one named engagement — the right next step, not a menu. Offered only to leaders who've completed the workshop.
Two paths for change, in one relationship.
When the Path Forward Session points to an ongoing partnership, this is where it lands — a monthly Advisory Retainer that holds strategy and coaching together, so the plan stays executable and you're never alone with the hard decisions. Three tiers, set by how deep you want to go.
All tiers are prepaid monthly. Clarity is a genuine lower-commitment way to start and can upgrade as the work deepens — because real transformation takes time, not thirty days.
Clarity → Alignment → Strategy → Execution.
This runs through every engagement. We don't skip to strategy and hope it sticks — we start by getting honest about what's true, build alignment with the people who have to execute, and only then make the plan.
Clarity
We get precise about where you actually are, what's at stake, and what the organization is really optimizing for.
Alignment
We bring the people who have to execute into shared understanding, before a single initiative launches.
Strategy
Now the plan becomes executable. Trade-offs are visible; the path is legible; the board can follow it.
Execution
We move, steadily, together, with the ROI tracked in real time and the people brought along, not left behind.
This works because of what it isn't.
I keep a small number of active clients at any time. That's not scarcity marketing — it's what makes the depth possible. And there's work I simply won't take.
✓ This is right for you if…
- You've started an AI initiative that stalled.
- You're carrying the weight of this transition without the right partner.
- Your board doesn't fully grasp what you're navigating.
- You want to lead this in a way that elevates your people, not guts them.
✕ This isn't right if…
- You're brand-new to AI and want a tools introduction.
- Your goal is to use AI to reduce headcount.
- You're looking for a one-time deliverable, then done.
- You want always-on, at-a-moment's-notice availability.
Before we talk.
Where should I start?
Start with the free AI Transformation Diagnostic. Ten minutes, and you'll know exactly where your initiative is stuck and what the logical next move is. If you'd rather talk first, book a free discovery conversation — a calm 30-minute call with no pitch at the end.
Is the coaching separate from the strategy work?
Not in the ongoing engagement. Strategy and coaching are woven together in the Momentum and Transformation retainer tiers — because the plan only stays executable when the leader has the foundation to carry it. The High Performance Foundation Sprint is also available as a standalone if coaching is the right starting point.
Do I need to do the workshop first?
It's the most common path for good reason — the workshop lets you see how I think before any larger commitment. But it's not required. If we've already connected through the Diagnostic or a discovery conversation and the fit is clear, a Path Forward Session is where we'd scope the actual engagement.
What happens in the Path Forward Session?
Sixty focused minutes on your specific situation — what's stuck, what's at stake, and what the right next move is. You leave with one named engagement recommendation, not a sales pitch and not a menu.
Can I go straight to a retainer?
Sometimes, yes — if we've already worked together through a workshop, Sprint, or strategy review and the fit is clear. But most engagements start with a real conversation first, because a long partnership deserves more than a checkout button.
How many clients do you take at one time?
A small number, deliberately. The Transformation tier is limited to one or two clients at any time. Depth is the product — and that only works when I'm not spread thin.
The clearest first step is the diagnostic.
Take the AI Transformation Diagnostic
Ten minutes, and it tells you exactly where your initiative is stuck — the best way to start, whether or not we ever work together.
Take the diagnostic →Prefer to talk first?
Book a free 30-minute discovery conversation — a calm fit conversation, no pressure, no pitch. A few short questions when you book (via Calendly) so I come ready to be useful.
Book a discovery conversation →Have a specific question in mind?
Send a note through the form. I don't take general consultations by email — the form helps me understand what you need before responding.
You've already done more than most.
The next step is a conversation. Start with the free diagnostic, take a free discovery conversation, or book a Path Forward Session after the next workshop. Either way — you don't have to figure this out alone.
