How it works

One problem, 90 days, six sessions. That’s the whole structure.

Before the first session

Three questions, in writing:

  • What keeps coming back?

  • What have you already tried?

  • What would make day 90 worth it?

The 90-day term

Six sessions over about 13 weeks, by video, in the evening. The first runs 90 minutes and the rest run 60.

Session 1: Map it

First, the problem in front of you. Then three things: who else is in it and what they want; the rules of the place, written and unwritten; and how you’re reading it. You leave with one objective. Within 48 hours I send a one-page term brief: the objective, what to watch, and what day 90 should look like.

With your permission, I’ll also have 20-minute conversations with two or three people around you (first term only).

Sessions 2-5: Work it

Same four beats every time:

  1. What happened since last time.

  2. One live situation.

  3. The assumption in play.

  4. One commitment, with a date and the evidence you’ll bring back.

You get a five-line recap within 24 hours. If the same commitment slips twice, I’ll stop and ask what you’d be risking by doing it.

Session 3: Check the aim

Re-read the brief. Is the objective still the right one? Is the problem what it looked like in session 1?

Session 6: Review and decide

A one-page review against the brief: what changed, and what’s still producing the problem. Then you decide what’s next, and I’ll tell you what I’d recommend.

Between sessions

Written messages, with a reply within two evenings. One short call a month if a decision can’t wait.

After 90 days

  • Renew. A new term, on a new objective. No new objective, no renewal.

  • Continuing. One 60-minute session a month, plus messages between sessions for live decisions. $1,000/month, month to month, 30 days’ notice.

  • Stop. Each term should leave you not needing me for that problem. About 60 days later I’ll offer one unpaid 30-minute check-in. No pitch.

Nothing renews automatically.

Terms

Terms start at $4,500 for 90 days. I take a small number of clients.

Your industry

I don’t know your business the way you do. In session 1 I’ll ask you to teach me, and I’ll tell you where my experience doesn’t apply. What I work on is the human side of the problem: the people, the incentives, and how you’re reading it.

Who it isn’t for

If you want a framework, a keynote, team training, therapy, or someone to agree with you, I’m the wrong call.

Tell me what keeps coming back.

I reply within two evenings.
