WORK WITH ALEX
Six sessions. Two ways in. One consistent approach.
Both engagements are built the same way: your strengths as the foundation, your agenda driving the work, and research-grounded methods shaping how we get there. The difference is where you’re starting from.
TWO WAYS TO ENGAGE
Foundation: 6 Sessions
Who it’s for
Leaders who are newer to managing people, or who have stepped into a bigger role and feel the distance between where they are and where they want to be.
What we work on
The foundational skills that nobody trains you on and everyone expects you to already have. Communicating expectations clearly. Giving feedback that lands. Holding people accountable without it becoming conflict. Managing your own reactions when things get hard.
How sessions run
We start by understanding how you’re wired. Then we build each skill on that foundation, in a way that fits how you actually lead. Each session focuses on a real situation. Each session ends with something specific to practice before we meet again.
Best for
New managers. First-time directors. Senior individual contributors who just moved into people leadership.
Refinement: 6 Sessions
Who it’s for
Experienced leaders who keep running into the same wall. Something specific isn’t working and the usual approaches haven’t fixed it.
What we work on
One challenge, done thoroughly. A relationship that’s frayed. A team dynamic that won’t shift. A pattern you understand but can’t change. A transition that’s harder than you expected. We find where the fit breaks down and build a better approach on stronger ground.
How sessions run
Same structure as Foundation, understanding your foundation first, then focused work on real situations, deliberate practice between sessions. The difference is depth. We go further into one area rather than building across the fundamentals.
Best for
Mid-level and senior leaders navigating a specific recurring challenge. Leaders in transition. Anyone who has done leadership development before and wants something more targeted.
WHAT EVERY ENGAGEMENT INCLUDES
You set the agenda.
Every session starts with what’s on your mind. What happened, what’s coming, what you want to work on. You direct the work.
The work is grounded, not improvised.
The research behind how we work stays consistent across every session. What changes is what we apply it to, based on what you bring.
Six sessions is a beginning, not a finish line.
Real competence, the kind that becomes part of who you are as a leader, takes longer to develop fully. Six sessions moves you from knowing to doing, consistently and on purpose. It’s the foundation for what comes next.
GETTING STARTED
A conversation first. A commitment only if it makes sense.
Book a free 30-minute discovery call. You share where you are, what you know, where things fall apart, what you want to be different. We figure out together which engagement fits, whether the timing is right, and whether we’d work well together. If this isn’t the right fit, you’ll hear that directly.
When it is the right fit, the next steps are straightforward. You’ll receive a short intake, a few direct questions about your situation and strengths. We schedule all six sessions upfront so the work has continuity. Then we get started.
