Ongoing strategic partnership for executives navigating high-stakes decisions
Leadership Decision Intelligence Advisory
The decisions that shape your organization don't happen in 21 days. They unfold over months—sometimes in ways you can't predict at the start.
When the stakes are high, you need more than a single conversation. You need a trusted advisor in your corner as the situation evolves.
WHAT THIS IS
Leadership Decision Intelligence Advisory
A retainer-based engagement designed for executives and founders who need ongoing strategic guidance as complex decisions unfold.
This is for leaders who are:
Navigating organizational transformation or restructuring
Scaling through critical growth inflection points ($5M-$50M+)
Managing high-stakes decisions with competing stakeholder interests
Leading through uncertainty where the right move is not obvious
Accountable for outcomes that affect teams, revenue, and company direction
This is strategic advisory—not coaching, not consulting.
The focus is on helping you think more clearly, decide more confidently, and move more decisively when it matters most.

INVESTMENT
Why This Investment Matters:
When you're navigating decisions that affect people, revenue, and long-term direction, the cost of a wrong move is easily $100K+. This retainer provides ongoing strategic partnership as your decisions unfold—not a one-time conversation.
This Engagement Is Right For:
Founders and CEOs navigating growth, pivots, or organizational transformation
C-Suite Executives managing cross-functional complexity and stakeholder alignment
Senior Leaders in healthcare, technology, or professional services carrying accountability for high-stakes outcomes
Decision-makers leading teams through change where the cost of getting it wrong is significant
This Engagement Is NOT Right For:
Leaders seeking tactical execution support (we advise, you execute)
Quick answers or surface-level guidance (this is deep strategic work)
Those not ready to act on strategic recommendations
Organizations looking for implementation consulting (we focus on decision clarity, not delivery)
WHO THIS IS FOR
1. You're working with someone who has operated at this level.
I have led $100M+ in enterprise transformations at Microsoft, ESPN, McKesson, and Emory Clinic. I have spent 25+ years navigating Fortune 500 complexity, managing stakeholder dynamics across executive leadership levels, and making decisions where millions of dollars and hundreds of jobs were on the line.
I know what high-stakes decisions look like. I know what it means to be accountable for outcomes you don't fully control. I know the pressure of leading through complexity when the path forward is not clean.
2. This is strategic advisory, not theory.
I don't teach frameworks in a vacuum. I help you apply strategic thinking to the specific decisions you're facing right now—with the real constraints, politics, and pressures you're actually dealing with.
3. You get ongoing partnership, not one-off advice.
Decisions evolve. New information emerges. Stakeholder dynamics shift. This retainer means I'm with you as the situation unfolds—not just for one conversation, but for the entire journey.
4. You get both executive rigor and human depth.
I bring the operational precision of Fortune 500 transformation work and the discernment to see what data alone cannot reveal—the hidden pressures, unspoken concerns, and patterns underneath the presenting problem.
That combination of strategic clarity and intuitive insight is what helps leaders move faster, decide more confidently, and lead more truthfully.
WHAT SETS THIS WORK APART
The Process:
Step 1: Request a Discovery Call
We'll spend 15-30 minutes discussing:
The decision landscape you're navigating
What's at stake if the path forward isn't clear
Whether this advisory partnership is the right fit
Step 2: Alignment Conversation
If we both believe this is a fit, we'll have a deeper conversation to:
Clarify your current strategic priorities
Establish how we'll work together
Confirm the engagement structure and timing
Step 3: Begin the Advisory Partnership
Once the retainer is confirmed, we schedule your first strategic session and establish communication protocols for ongoing support.
HOW TO GET STARTED
How is this different from the Executive Decision Audit™?
The Executive Decision Audit™ is a 21-day diagnostic focused on a single high-stakes decision. It's designed to bring clarity to one specific choice you need to make.
The Leadership Decision Intelligence Advisory is an ongoing retainer for leaders who need strategic partnership across multiple decisions over time. It's for executives navigating complexity that doesn't resolve in 21 days.
Many clients begin with the Executive Decision Audit™ ($5,000, two parts) and then move into the Advisory retainer for ongoing strategic partnership.
How is this different from executive coaching?
Executive coaching focuses on leadership development—helping you grow as a leader through personal transformation and skill-building.
This advisory work focuses on decision intelligence—helping you navigate specific strategic decisions with clarity, confidence, and alignment.
If you're facing a critical decision or leading through organizational complexity, this is the right engagement. If you're focused on personal leadership growth, executive coaching may be a better fit.
Can I cancel after 3 months?
Yes. After the initial 3-month commitment, the retainer continues on a month-to-month basis. Either party can end the engagement with 30 days' notice.
That said, the deepest value comes from ongoing partnership. Leaders who stay engaged for 6-12 months see the most significant impact.
What if I need more than 2 sessions in a given month?
Additional sessions can be scheduled at $2,500 per 90-minute session. However, most leaders find that 2 sessions per month plus ongoing email/text support provides the strategic guidance they need.
Do you work with leaders in my industry?
I have worked with leaders across healthcare, technology, professional services, and entrepreneurial ventures. While every industry has unique dynamics, the core challenge is often the same—making thoughtful decisions when the stakes are high and the information is incomplete.
The frameworks and strategic thinking I bring apply across industries. What matters most is the complexity of the decisions you're facing, not the sector you're in.
How quickly can we start?
I work with a limited number of retainer clients at any given time to ensure the quality and responsiveness this work requires.
If availability exists, we can begin within 1-2 weeks of our alignment conversation. If my retainer capacity is currently full, I maintain a priority waitlist.
What happens in our first session?
The first session is a deep dive into your current decision landscape:
What are the critical decisions you're navigating right now?
What's at stake with each decision?
What are the visible and hidden pressures influencing the path forward?
Where do you need clarity most?
From there, we establish priorities and determine how to structure our ongoing work together.
Already Completed the Executive Decision Audit™?
If you’ve been through the audit and realize the decisions ahead require ongoing strategic partnership, the retainer is the natural next step. Your audit findings become the foundation for our ongoing work together. Schedule a conversation to discuss the transition.
