Executive Performance Optimization System^™
For Senior Technical Leaders Who've Outgrown Their Expertise Advantage

Your intelligence got you here. But at this level, being right isn't enough. I help VPs and SVPs see what they can't see about how their intelligence is landing - and develop the EQ and influence to match their IQ.

I don't work with everyone. And everyone doesn't work with me.

I work with senior leaders in complex organizations who are brilliant at the work but stuck at their current level. They're the smartest person in many rooms. They solve problems others can't. They were promoted on expertise.

But now they're hearing some version of:
"We need more from you at the enterprise level."
"You're excellent in your lane, but we're not sure about broader roles."
"Be more strategic" (even though they ARE strategic).

‍The pattern:
High IQ got them here. It won't get them there.
They lead with expertise when the room needs leadership.

‍The gap isn't intelligence — it's how that intelligence shows up.

If that's you, here's how the Executive Performance Optimization System™ works:

Simple Process. Serious Work.

We help you on every step of the journey

Executive Blind Spot Assessment (15 -20 minutes, complimentary)

A focused pre-assessment that surfaces patterns you might not see: EQ gaps, influence blind spots, communication defaults.

Your responses are confidential.

Start Assessment

Fit Conversation
(45-60 minutes)

We go deeper into your leadership patterns, stakeholder realities, and where your intelligence is landing vs. where it isn't.

You'll get a structured view of your blind spots and initial recommendations on which shifts will matter most.

Custom Development Plan

We select 2–4 frameworks from the EPOS portfolio and define what "success" looks like for how you're experienced at the next level.

Based on your assessment, we design a targeted development plan around your real-world challenges and goals.

Implementation & Accountability

Regular 1:1 sessions on real situations - your meetings, decisions, relationships.

Private AI copilot between sessions. You get the clarity, support, and pressure you need to change how you're experienced.

What's Included

Weekly (45-60 mins) or
Bi-weekly (60-90 minutes)
Working Strategy Sessions

Deep work on your highest-stakes challenges.

Not surface-level check-ins.

We work on what's actually happening: the meeting you have Thursday, the peer creating friction, the feedback you can't decode.

Quarterly Strategic Reviews (60 minutes)

Every quarter, we step back and review:

How you're being experienced (not just what you're doing)

What’s working, what's changed, and where we need to shift focus.

Sponsors can be involved where appropriate.

Private AI Advisor Between Sessions

A proprietary AI-powered executive advisor (not ChatGPT) with enterprise-grade security for sensitive leadership conversations, built specifically for you:

Trained on my frameworks, tuned to your role and stakeholders, not shared with any other client.

Use it to prep for high-stakes conversations, pressure-test framing, and rehearse messaging before you walk into the room.

Human judgment first. AI as a force multiplier.

Strategic Tracks

LEADERSHIP IDENTITY:
Who you are as a leader—not just an expert

Executive Mindset: Shifting from "being right" to "being effective." Building confidence that doesn't depend on having all the answers. Managing the tension between expertise and leadership.
Executive Presence: How you show up in the rooms that decide your future - board, CEO, cross-functional leadership. Communicating so your intelligence lands as leadership, not just expertise.

INFLUENCE & RELATIONSHIPS:
How you move people who don't report to you and don't think like you

Stakeholder Influence: Building relationships with people who don't share your technical framework. Influence strategies beyond logic and data. Navigating politics as leadership, not manipulation.
Advanced Communication: Framing complex issues for non-technical stakeholders. Leading with conclusions, not methodology. Making your strategic thinking visible—not just in your head.
Conflict Mastery: Handling disagreement without damaging relationships. Engaging organizational politics productively instead of opting out. Turning tension into alignment and clarity.

STRATEGIC VISIBILITY:
Being experienced as strategic - not just doing strategy in your head

Strategic Thinking: Framing issues so others can engage, not just presenting solutions. Making your strategic thinking visible and actionable. Moving from solving problems to shaping direction.
Strategic Execution: Executing through influence, not personal heroics. Building accountability without micromanagement. Creating clarity others can act on.
Crisis Leadership: Leading the room when stakes are high and information is incomplete. Making decisions without all the data. Maintaining confidence when you don't have all the answers.

ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP:
Building leaders and systems beyond yourself

Succession Leadership: Developing leaders, not just subject matter experts. Building bench strength that doesn't depend on your involvement. Coaching for influence, not just technical skill.
Culture Transformation: Shaping culture that values influence and collaboration, not just technical excellence. Moving from "best argument wins" to "best outcomes win."
Change Leadership: Bringing people along through transformation. Managing resistance with influence, not just explanation. Leading change as a human process, not just a technical one.
Customer Experience: Connecting technical decisions to what customers actually value. Seeing CX as a leadership responsibility, not someone else's job.

Is This Right For You?

This isn't a fit if you:

Want validation, not challenge
Believe the problem is entirely external
Prefer theory over working on real situations
Want quick fixes instead of behavioral change

This is a strong fit if you:

Are a VP/SVP in a technical function (engineering, product, data, operations, technology, compliance)
Are in a complex organization (500–2,000+ employees) with real cross-functional politics
Have been told you're "too technical," need "more presence," or should "be more strategic"
Are frustrated that being right isn't translating into influence
Want both executive coaching and strategic advisory
Are willing to hear (and work on) uncomfortable truths about how you're experienced
