Your ongoing thinking partner for the human side of professional life.
individual work
Best for
Clients who have done the core work and want a thinking partner who already knows the people, the history, and the patterns.
You have already done the core work. You know what was keeping the problem in place, and you have a plan. But professional life keeps producing new situations: a partner meeting that turns tense, a key hire who starts to drift, a client who pulls you back into old patterns.
A retainer means you don't start from zero each time. I already know the people, the history, and the patterns, so we can go straight to what matters. You get support before the difficult moment, not a debrief after it. And you have one place where you don't need to hold it all together.
What's included
- 3 hours of live work each month, by video or phone
- A priority 30-minute slot within one business day, for situations that can't wait
- Asynchronous messaging on a secure channel, with a response within one business day
- Review of drafts before difficult conversations: the email to a partner, the talking points for a hard decision, the reply to a demanding client
- A quarterly review of your Sustainability Plan, so the work keeps moving forward
- Priority booking for your team members' Root Cause Sessions and team programs
Terms
Three-month minimum, then month to month with 30 days' notice. Unused hours roll over for one month. Additional hours are available at a reduced rate.
The retainer is open to clients who have completed Sustainable by Design or equivalent work with me. I keep a small number of retainer spots so that every client gets real availability.
Questions you might have
What if I don't use all my hours?
Unused hours carry over to the next month, so a quiet month doesn't cost you anything.
What if my firm pays for this?
The firm receives an invoice, not a report. What we discuss stays between us. If the firm needs anything beyond billing, we agree on it together, in advance.
Is this therapy?
No. This is consulting and coaching, held to the same standard of confidentiality I apply to clinical work. Messages are not monitored for emergencies; if you are ever in crisis, contact emergency services or a crisis line.
Why not just book sessions when I need them?
You can. The retainer is for when the timing matters: when you need someone who already knows the situation and can respond this week, not three weeks from now.
Can I stop?
Yes. After the first three months, you can stop with 30 days' notice.
