You want to be a wildly effective leader.

You care deeply about your impact—on your team, your products, and the systems you influence. You know that strategic thinking and emotional intelligence are non-negotiables.

You’ve probably squeezed in a few books, blogs, or podcasts on leadership between meetings and deadlines, hoping for a breakthrough insight.

We specialize in helping leaders navigate complexity, foster alignment, and deliver exceptional results.

The Commitment

We’ll have a 20-minute consultation to make sure I’m your vibe. To be clear — I am a vibe. I offer you a lot of enlightenment, a little magic, and zero BS.

If we’re a fit, you’ll choose:

 

Month-to-month

Minimum 2 months

One 90-minute onboarding session

  • Three 60-minute sessions per month

  • Access to customized resources and tools

  • Asynchronous communication between sessions so you can externally process and stay on track

  • Investment: $2,500 monthly

Six-month package

Everything in the month-to-month, plus

  • I've found that a 6-month time horizon gives clients space for deep excavation and more complex subjects right from the start

  • Investment: $14,000 (a $1000 savings when you commit to your growth for six months, can break into two invoices)

 

60-minute call

  • A great option if you have a topic you want to think through with a qualified ally

  • Investment: $500 – can be applied to the balance if you decide to continue working together
