Summit · private work for people who lead
For founders and executives after the exit, the IPO, the succession, the sale, or the sabbatical — the people with the largest castle, and the most convincing prison.
This is not burnout, and it is not a failure of gratitude. It is the first valley on a map I've drawn from more than twenty years and more than a thousand people's turning points, many of them people like you. The castle you built still works. Belief in what it was meant to give you has quietly failed, and everything you built — identity, money, family, momentum, the people who depend on you — keeps you inside.
Coaching is first-mountain equipment. It makes you better at climbing the mountain you're on. It cannot tell you that you've finished it, and it cannot show you what comes next, because that isn't its job. Mine is. I don't tell you what to do. I tell you where you are, and what the terrain looks like from there.

A private partnership for a transition that can't wait. We start with a live conversation, agree a concrete plan, stay in contact by message and phone between sessions, and review what you've actually done, not what you intended. I take two people at a time and I'd rather say no than take someone the map isn't for.
ApplyFor: people who have built something real and can feel that its promise has run out; who have done the performance work and the leadership work and found it doesn't reach the question; who want a map more than a mentor.
Not for: anyone looking for accountability toward a goal they already have. That's coaching, and it works. This is for the moment after the goal.

A senior leader in the international drugstore industry had reached the point where the career that had worked no longer did. We worked on what should come next. He left his executive role and started his own company.
A successful logistics entrepreneur had already achieved what he had set out to achieve — and no longer knew where to put his energy. The shift was from asking what his companies could give him to asking what they could give others. That gave the work a new reason to matter.
A successful energy entrepreneur had companies that ran well and more energy than his work could absorb. Much of it had moved into desire and fantasy, leaving him divided between his marriage and another relationship. The work was to stop drifting and make a decision.
