We'll keep it simple and direct

FIRST 5 MINUTES: Context

A quick overview of my background as an executive coach, strategic advisor, and former CSO/SVP.

You can expect questions like:

What’s working well with your leadership or your team?

Where are you seeing friction, ceilings, or stalled progress?

What rooms feel most high-stakes right now (board, investors, senior team, HR issues)?

What would “better” look like 6–12 months from now?

No prep needed

Just come ready to think differently about your leadership situation through cross-industry lens.

I'll ask questions that reveal blind spots. You'll get clarity on what's really going on with systematic insight you can't get internally.

Assessment includes $3,000 expert analysis with cross-industry insights and framework recommendations.

A Note About Fit

I don't work with everyone, and everyone doesn't work with me.

I work with C-Suite and Senior VP leaders who've outgrown conventional advice and are ready to see their blind spots through cross-industry perspective. Leaders who want systematic steps, not generic theory. Leaders who are ready to be challenged on their assumptions with external accountability.

If you're looking for someone to tell you what you want to hear, I'm not your guy.

If you're ready for perspective that helps you see what you can't see about yourself—with cross-industry wisdom that reveals patterns invisible within single industries—let's talk.

Investment Reality Check

Executive Performance Optimization System™ represents a significant investment in systematic leadership development. Average client investment: $40K-$120K over 6-12 months.

Average ROI: 1,200%+ with measurable career advancement and value creation.

This is capital investment in your leadership capability, not operational expense.

Are you ready for that level of systematic performance optimization?

This isn't a sales pitch. It's clarity for leaders ready to see their situation differently.

What you can't see is often what holds you back the most.

CONVERSATION

WHO THIS CONVERSATION IS FOR?

SCHEDULE IF:

You’re an HR / Talent leader exploring executive coaching or targeted support for a senior leader

You’re a C-suite or senior executive facing high-stakes change, crisis, succession, or performance issues

You want straight talk, not motivational hype

You’re open to doing real work between sessions, not just having “interesting conversations”v

PROBABLY NOT A FIT IF:

Red cross mark symbol indicating an error or prohibition.

You’re looking for generic training or large-group workshops only

You want a motivational speaker more than a thought partner

You’re not ready to act on feedback or change how you lead

You need legal, financial, or clinical advice (I’m not that)

If you’re unsure, schedule anyway and we’ll decide together.

FAQ

QUICK FAQ

Is This a Sales Call?

No. It’s a diagnostic conversation. If I believe I can help, I’ll say how. If I don’t, I’ll tell you that—and point you elsewhere if I can.

Who Joins the Call?

Often it’s a single HR leader, a CEO, or the executive themselves. If you’d like to include another stakeholder, that’s fine—just note it in the pre-call questions.

Do We Have to Decide Anything on the Call?

No. You’ll leave with my candid view of your situation and possible options. You can decide next steps on your own timeline.

Do You Work Remotely?

Yes. I’m based in Kansas City and work with clients across the U.S. via Zoom.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes. For sensitive situations, we can put an NDA in place before we go into detail.
