You come in stressed. Overwhelmed.
The firehose of competing demands and...
...fire drills, distracting you from what's important.
What's important?
🔺 The aggressive goal you have to hit 🔺
(that you get 5% of time to think about)
→ Revenue
→ Profit
→ Predictability
When you finally get a minute to think,
all the constraints & complexities
are what come to mind.
And you're foggy again.
Overwhelmed.
Stressed.
THIS IS HOW IT STARTS
______________________
HOW IT ENDS?
• Excitement
• Energy
• Clarity
Why? How?
→ You believe again (that it's possible...you got this)
→ Because you see a clear & credible path forward
→ Based in logic, pragmatism, structure, experience
YOUR LOCUS OF CONTROL
It's internal.
You're not at the mercy of external circumstances.
You've regained agency.
You're clear.

WHAT HAPPENS IN BETWEEN?
Your weekly executional strategy session with me
(or one of my adjunct Operating Partners)
an outside, unattached, experienced sparring partner.
(1) Exploration...
... of the aggressive goal
... of the challenges
... of the contextual nuance
(2) Application...
... of structured frameworks to order the chaos
... of known protocols for solving [X Operational Issue]
... of pragmatic pressure testing, scenario analysis
(3) Clarifying...
... exactly what you will do now (#Execution)
... how it ties to the plan (#Strategy)
... why it will impact goals (#Outcomes)

This is what a #CRO explained to me yesterday.
It's how he experiences working with me day-to-day.

▶️ REACH OUT ◀️
...and we can discuss what
an independent operating partnership looks like.
It isn't coaching.
It isn't consulting.
It isn't fractional exec work.
It's more than the sum of those parts.
