INVITATION TO WORK WITH ME 1-ON-1
I have a mentorship for experienced, perceptive professionals who can see that a more consequential next chapter is possible for their work – often solving unconventional problems or bridging people and systems that aren’t understanding each other – and have reached the point where they can no longer set it aside.
They want to do that work at the level it’s meant for, and they want it built around how their mind actually works – even when others don’t understand or push back. And they want a thought partner who can see what they can’t yet see about their own work, and who understands the specific way they think and see.
I work with you for 6 months to start, on the 3 following core areas:
1) Building the foundations the next level requires
A specific set of internal rules – formed earlier in your life, in contexts that no longer apply – still runs as a live filter. When disagreement, uncertainty, or relational pressure arrives, those rules interpret it as a signal to self-edit, over-explain, or pull back from your direction. They were accurate once. They aren’t a match for the level you’re now working at.
We locate where those rules formed and update them at the level they were installed. You establish new internal reference points from that work. When stakes rise and pushback comes – as it does at every new level – your direction stays clear and your own knowing stays grounded and available, because the pushback registers as information rather than as a reason to reconsider.
2) Building the next expression of your work
Your pattern recognition, intuitive knowing, and capacity to see what others haven’t yet are what the next expression of your work gets built around. As we do the work in Step 1, these perceptive abilities become reliable skills you use as deliberately as your analytical and professional ones.
We get specific about how your perceptive and analytical capacities work together and what type of problem they’re built for. We then get specific about the level of problem you’re built to solve at this stage of your career, who you’re built to work with, and how your work is framed around what’s most distinctive about it – rather than forced into a category that doesn’t fit.
You continue to see your own answers more clearly as we go. I bring the depth, pattern recognition, and positioning sense that helps you see what you can’t yet see about your own work.
3) Holding the work steady as it expands
As we cycle through Steps 1 and 2, both you and your work continue to evolve. Each new level brings the same themes back around – usually ones you’ve already worked through – now at a level you have more capacity to work with than you did before. That’s what keeps the work moving forward rather than circling.
What surfaces in relationships, professional dynamics, and transitions during this period is part of the same spiral. We work with what’s arising as it appears.
Over time, steadiness and flow-state become how you operate by default. Your own knowing stays clear and available under pressure. Pushback no longer alters your direction. You’re able to hold multiple perspectives without losing your own. And things move toward you rather than having to be chased.
As part of this mentorship you'll receive:
– 1-on-1 sessions via Zoom, typically running 2-3 hours – structured to get to the source of what’s activating and work through it fully within the session
– Direct access to me between sessions (Voxer or Telegram) for real-time reflection when decisions or dynamics are actively unfolding
– TimeLine Therapy™ sessions at key intervals – one of the core tools used in the clearing work of Step 1 – with frequency determined by what’s emerging in your work
– Evolutionary astrology and Human Design used selectively as structural tools for self-understanding
– Resources introduced as relevant to what came up in session – including hypnotherapy recordings, guided visualizations, breathwork, somatic recalibration, and access to specific programs or materials from my resource library
This mentorship is for those who:
– Have done significant inner work across multiple approaches. They can see their own patterns, are not in acute crisis or chronic instability, and take ownership of their results even when external circumstances are genuinely difficult. They know that knowing a pattern is not the same as having cleared it, and they’re not looking for more to learn – they’re looking for how to operate from what they already know, at levels they haven’t worked at before
– Have significant professional experience in consulting, strategy, policy, communication, practitioner-based work, or other roles where independent judgment and nuanced thinking are the primary instrument of the work
– Meaning, contribution, depth, and doing work that matters to them are the primary drivers at this stage of their career
A NOTE ON TIMEFRAMES OF WORKING WITH ME:
Most clients take between 6 and 12 months, sometimes longer, to reach the point where steadiness, clarity, and flow-state are no longer situational – they become how you operate by default, even under pressure. For this reason, the initial phase of the mentorship is 6 months.
Most clients continue after the initial 6 months. Continuation happens in quarterly blocks, at one of two levels:
1.) Active mentorship, at the same session frequency as the initial phase. Most clients who continue do this for another 6 months before shifting to ongoing counsel.
2.) Ongoing counsel, at a less frequent, quarterly rhythm, once steadiness and flow-state are how you operate by default, and you want someone to think alongside you as new chapters emerge or significant decisions arrive.
There is no fixed endpoint. Clients tend to reach a clear sense of when they’re ready to step back, and it tends to become clear to both of us at the same time
Pricing:
– Initial 6 months: $15K USD ($2.5K/month)
– Active mentorship continuation: $6K USD per quarter ($2K/month)
– Ongoing counsel: $2K USD per quarter
