Every engagement starts with what’s actually happening.
Then we pick the format that fits it. Start with the line that sounds like you.
Private work. You, me, and what’s actually going on.
For the owner or executive who has outgrown the way they’re operating, and will test the work in the real world between sessions.
Get clean on direction. What you’re actually building and what tradeoffs you’ll make.
Turn intention into standards. What gets a hard no when the easy answer looks good.
Build the calibration. What you notice, capture, and challenge so drift can’t settle in.
What held, what broke, what changed when the tools met reality. Tighten all three.
Everyone in your room has something to protect, so everything reaches you filtered. This doesn’t. Six weeks of direct work behind closed doors. You bring what’s actually on the table. I listen, tell you what I see, and push on what’s off until something moves.
One 60-minute session. One problem, worked to a decision. If you start Advisory within 30 days, the $485 comes off.
Book a Hard CallLearn the method. Leave operating on it.
STRYN is a method for catching drift early and bringing the work back in line. One leader or the whole leadership team, in one room with me.
Private instruction. The same method the Team Day teaches a room, built entirely around your leadership. The first pass happens in the room.
Request a Half DaySix to seven hours. One rate for the room, 5 to 20 people.
Inquire About Your TeamMost leadership development changes what people know. Not how they operate.
You’ve read the books, sat through the offsites, and nodded at the right frameworks. Monday looks the same. Collecting insight feels like progress, so nobody notices the operation never changed.
Everyone can feel what’s off. Nobody names it, because naming it means owning it. So the meeting ends, the problem stays, and the drift compounds quietly.
In your words, at the right layer. Operator, leader, or execution. Not a vague sense that something’s off.
Four questions you run on any problem, in order, without me. Where is the drift? What’s yours to own? Does the behavior match? What moved?
The Drift Scan and the working tools to run the loop on your own.
Run on a real problem in the room, with a first move and a way to know it moved. A decision, a standard, a conversation someone else could see.
Same job, different domain. When the hard call is a security call, the room still needs someone who’ll say it straight.
Executive cybersecurity advisory and vCISO for credit unions, community banks, and organizations that answer to a board, an examiner, or an insurer. I keep leaders from making bad security decisions, keep the program aligned and moving, and tie security spend to what the business actually needs.
Two talks. Recognition, not motivation.
Built for leadership teams, executive groups, owner forums, and peer advisory organizations. The same directness as the advisory work, and something the room still uses after you leave it.
Drift, isolation, and the principles most leaders know but have stopped applying. The talk that wakes a room up with recognition. No prerequisites.
Build the person first. Then the leader. Then the business. The STRYN method and why the sequence matters: what breaks when you skip a layer, and what it looks like when the whole stack holds.
The details.
How do sessions work?
By video. Each session runs 50 to 60 minutes. FORGE is four sittings and Advisory is six weekly sessions, with some async work in between. In person only where it makes sense for both of us.
Can I reach you between sessions?
Yes. During FORGE and Advisory you can text or email me. I reply within 24 hours.
FORGE or Advisory: which one?
If you’ve outgrown the way you operate, FORGE. It builds the foundation and ends. If the problem is the calls in front of you right now, Advisory. Weekly, live, six weeks.
What happens after Advisory?
Continue monthly for $895: two sessions a month plus text and email access. Or stop there.
Where do workshops happen?
I come to you, with travel billed at cost. Virtual when it makes sense. Every Half Day and Team Day includes a 30-minute follow-up call about 30 days later.
How does payment work?
FORGE, Advisory, and The Hard Call are paid up front by card. Workshops are invoiced: a 50% deposit holds the date and the balance is due within 15 days of the session. Your company can pay.
Do you work with nonprofits?
Yes. Talks are free for organizations serving kids and veterans, and I take on some pro bono advisory work. Other 501(c)(3)s, ask.
What do you charge for speaking?
It depends on the format, the audience, and travel. Ask, and I’ll give you a straight number.
