What you walk away with

• Your exact position on the five-stage map — named, not guessed
• The single constraint holding you back, isolated from the noise
• Your clear next move, and which offering fits it
• A short written read-out you can act on the same day

What it is

A focused nine-question assessment that turns a vague sense of "something needs to change" into a precise, named position. No long form, no fluff — just the fastest honest read on where you are.

Who it is for

Anyone who can feel the ground shifting but cannot yet name what to do about it. Start here whether you go on to work the method alone, in the Cohort, or privately.

How it works

• Nine questions, roughly ten minutes
• An immediate read on your stage and constraint
• A recommended next step matched to your position
• The opening of the book, to start working straight away

Honest note

The diagnostic points the way — it does not walk it for you. What you do with a clear position is where the real work begins, and that is what the paid engagements are for.

What you walk away with

• The decision made — not circled, made
• The reasoning behind it, so it holds up to scrutiny later
• A clear first action to take that week
• A short written summary of what was decided and why

What it is

A single, undivided ninety-minute conversation focused on one consequential decision. You supply the situation; I supply the challenge, the structure and independent judgement. No slow ramp — we work the decision properly and reach it.

Who it is for

The person facing one weighty call — a role, an offer, a reposition, a departure — who does not need six months of support, but does need one clear-headed conversation and an outside mind that will tell them the truth.

How it works

• A short note beforehand on the decision at hand
• Ninety focused minutes, one decision, worked to a conclusion
• Direct challenge — no flattery, no drift
• A written summary of the decision and its reasoning

Honest note

The Session is built for one decision, worked well. If your situation is really a series of linked moves over months, the Cohort or the Partnership will serve you better — and I will say so rather than sell you a session.

What it is

A small group, meeting fortnightly over ten weeks, working the method together in real time. You get my guidance and the discipline of a shared timetable — plus the honest scrutiny of peers who are in the same position and will not let you drift.

Who it is for

The person who has the clarity but not the momentum. You know roughly what you need to do; what is missing is structure, pace, and people to hold you to it. Also for those who do their best thinking alongside others.

How it works

• Five fortnightly live sessions over ten weeks
• A small group — never a crowd
• Work set between sessions, reviewed openly
• My guidance, shared across the group

What you walk away with

• Real movement through your two hardest stages
• A plan you have begun to act on
• A small group of peers who know your situation

Honest note

The Cohort gives you my guidance, but shared — not private. If your situation is confidential, unusually complex, or demands undivided attention, one of the private engagements below will serve you better.

What the fee is for

Not hours, and not information. Four things you cannot buy off a shelf:

• Judgement — a second mind on decisions that are expensive to get wrong, from someone who has made and watched these calls before.
• Accountability — being walked through the doing, not handed a plan and left alone, which is exactly where most people falter.
• Access — me in the room when it matters, between the scheduled sessions, at the moments that decide things.
• Honesty — someone with no stake in flattering you, who will tell you the truth about your position when others will not.

What it is

The Partnership walks the whole journey with you — from the honest first look, through finding your footing and your opening, to building the next level and consolidating it. A steady monthly rhythm of private sessions, with access in between for the moments that matter, because the real work happens between the conversations, not only in them.

Who it is for

Someone facing a transition too consequential to navigate alone or settle in a single decision — a genuine change of level, direction, or circumstance — who wants a dedicated partner across the full arc, not just at the start.

How the six months run

What you walk away with

• A transition navigated in full, not just begun
• A consolidated position and a clear next horizon
• The capacity to keep rising on your own
