My Approach

Hello. Here's my preferred approach to working with new people.

Conversation (free)

We'll talk or meet to discuss your strategy and goals. Within 1-3 days, I'll share with you a few actionable insights you can use even if we decide not to work together. Isn't free wonderful?

Proposal (free)

If we choose to engage, I'll submit a short proposal. But if what you have is still in ideation form, or includes many unknowns, l'll probably want to do more discovery - or possibly start with a brief assessment.

Assessment

If we decide to do an assessment, often I will include a brief Statement of Work (SOW). And at your request, and assuming I have enough information, I can develop a full strategy and provide you with a roadmap to follow. You'll be ready to act.

Engage

At this point, you'll be well-positioned to engage me or shop the market. See how I like to engage below and contact me if you want to start a confidential conversation.

How others engage me

There are three ways we can work together on ideas, businesses, or projects.

01
As Interim or Fractional Executive

A typical interim assignment lasts 3-9 months and fractional support can be as short or as long as necessary. Fractional can be as little as a few hours per month.

If the work is talent acquisition related in any way, I'll want to run it through TalentSum LLC. (https://talentsum.com)

02
As Business Advisor

Need someone to help build up an existing business, practice group, marketing practice, or talent acquisition function? Or maybe you want to assess, optimize, or even rethink your entire business?

03
As Venture Partner

Occasionally, I invest in ideas and businesses that align with my interests and areas of expertise.

I'll only invest in the bootstrapping or pre-seed funding stage with founders that have concentrated ownership and are generating less than $500,000 in revenues per year.
