Advisory & Mentoring

A trusted voice
in your corner

Board advisory, governance and CEO mentoring — counsel from someone who has actually made the decisions you’re facing, five times over. For boards and chief executives who want a voice, not a vendor.

Three ways to engage

Choose the depth that fits

From a single, focused session to an ongoing relationship — the same experienced counsel, scaled to what you need right now.

01

Strategy Intensive

Best for: A specific decision, a reset, or a board that needs to think clearly together.
  • Tailored agenda & pre-work

02

Project Advisory

from $18,000
A scoped project with defined deliverables — a strategic plan, membership strategy, governance overhaul or transformation — led by senior hands.
Best for: A defined piece of work that needs real experience, not another committee.
  • Defined scope, timeline & deliverables
  • Strategy, membership or governance projects
  • Senior, hands-on delivery
  • Implementation-ready outputs
03

Retained Advisory

from $4,500/mo
Ongoing counsel for your board and CEO — the experienced voice on call when the decisions get hard. Six-month minimum.
