Strategic Advisor on Retainer
An experienced leadership advisor on call when you need one. Get a trusted thought partner for tough decisions, people challenges, and strategy, without adding a full-time executive.
What this looks like
Leading a business can be isolating. Some decisions are too sensitive to talk through with your team and too important to make alone. On retainer, you have a partner ready to think through challenges as they come up, from a difficult personnel situation to a major strategic choice.
I bring years of corporate leadership experience and a practical, people-first approach to every conversation. You get ongoing access for strategy, leadership, and people questions, with regular check-ins so we stay ahead of issues before they grow. It is a flexible alternative to adding another executive, in person in the Sacramento area or virtually across North America.
Features of this engagement
- Ongoing access to a senior leadership advisor
- Support for strategy, leadership, and people decisions
- Confidential sounding board for owners and executives
- Regular check-ins to stay ahead of challenges
- Flexible retainer, in person or virtual
