How I Can Help
One perspective. Different ways to implement it.
Sometimes that means one private conversation.
Sometimes it means working with your leadership team.
Sometimes it means helping an entire organization move.
I start with the situation, not a predefined service.
Then, I design the work around what needs to change.
1 · SEE - Make the situation clearer before you act.
The most expensive problems are often not the ones nobody can solve. They are the ones nobody has defined clearly enough to solve.
Executive Consultation
A private conversation with you around a consequential decision, challenge or opportunity.
We step outside the immediate pressure, examine what you are seeing, what you may be missing, and what deserves your attention before you act.
For the decision you cannot delegate and cannot easily discuss inside your organization.
Innovation & Opportunity Sprint
A concentrated working session to turn an unresolved opportunity into something concrete.
We challenge assumptions, expose possibilities, define the opportunity and determine what is worth pursuing.
For when there is energy around an idea but no clear path forward.
Project Development
Taking a promising idea from possibility to a defined concept, prototype or business case.
I bring in the specialists the situation requires and help connect their expertise into a coherent direction.
For an idea with potential that needs architecture before investment.
2 · DECIDE - Bring the right people to the right question.
Some decisions do not need more analysis. They need the right conversation.
Decision Workshops
A focused working session with your leadership team around a real decision.
We clarify the question, challenge the assumptions, examine the consequences and establish what happens next.
For decisions that have been discussed long enough and now need to move.
Culture & Leadership Alignment
Culture is what happens when leadership decisions become everyday behavior.
I work with leadership teams to align strategy, values, leadership behavior and organizational expectations so that the organization can operate consistently with what its leaders say matters.
For organizations where the stated direction and lived behavior have begun to diverge.
Legacy Architecture
Preparing the people, relationships and decisions that surround a major transition.
That may be a successor, a sale, a generational transition or a founder stepping away from what they built.
For transitions whose consequences will outlast the people making the decision.
3 · EXECUTE - Turn clarity into performance and collective action.
A good decision matters only if people can carry it forward.
Leadership Performance
Helping leaders and high-stakes teams perform at the level the situation demands.
The work draws on decades of experience with elite athletes and executives: focus, emotional regulation, resilience, recovery, pressure management and access to an Ideal Performance State.
For people who know what to do but cannot always access their best thinking when it matters most.
Speaking
A keynote or leadership conversation designed around the issue that matters to your people. In English or Spanish.
Breakthrough thinking. Decision-making under pressure. Leadership, identity and legacy. Lessons drawn from business, elite sport and decades of work across cultures.
For when an organization needs more than information. It needs a shift in perspective.
Strategic Meetings & Experiences
I design and help lead meetings, off-sites, summits and leadership experiences where the objective is alignment, commitment or movement.
The work combines strategic thinking with the human dynamics that determine whether a room actually changes anything.
My background in theater and documentary production informs how the experience is designed, without ever making the experience the point.
For when the room itself needs to accomplish something consequential.
One engagement often becomes another.
A private conversation may clarify the real issue.
That may lead to a leadership workshop.
The workshop may produce a decision that needs to be carried into the organization.
And that may require a different kind of work altogether.
I design the sequence before we begin.
I will also tell you when you do not need me.
When specialists are required, I bring the right people into the work — an engineer, banker, researcher, designer, athlete, technologist or other subject-matter expert.
You do not manage a collection of consultants.
You work with me.
Why this works differently
I do not begin with what I sell. I begin with what you are facing.
Since 1993, I have worked across four continents with executives, entrepreneurs, private bankers, business owners, athletes and founding families.
The settings have ranged from Swiss private banking and international strategy to elite sport, innovation, leadership and major organizational events.
Julius Baer. ABN AMRO Private Banking. A.T. Kearney. Coca-Cola. Bausch & Lomb. Aberdeen. KUONI. Electrolux. The New York Knicks.
The Nobels Colloquia in Venice. The U.S. Air Force Academy. The Swiss Military Leadership Academy at ETH.
Grand Slam champions. Formula 1 drivers. Olympians.
Different situations. Different rooms. The same requirement: bring something valuable into the room that was not there before.
That is the work I do.
How an engagement begins
It starts with a conversation.
We determine what is really at stake, what kind of involvement would be useful, and whether I am the right person to help.
If we agree to work together, the scope, outcome, timing and fee are defined before we begin.
I work with a small number of clients at a time, in person and online, in English and Spanish.
