Virtual Cohorts — 5-Week Circles

Circle One · 5-Week Intensive

From someday to a dated, decided, documented plan — in five weeks.

Map pre-transition readiness: ownership, leadership, and the conversations no one has started.
Build the transition mechanics — roles, timing, governance, and the handoff sequence.
Design post-transition life: what the senior generation steps into, not just out of.

The problem it solves: Most succession plans exist as an intention, not a document. The result is a family that guesses, a leadership team that waits, and a founder who can't step back because nothing is defined. Delay is the risk — not the transfer itself.
Who it's for: Business owners, founders, senior-generation leaders, and family business ownership groups approaching or already inside a transition.
What's included: Five live virtual sessions, the three-phase transition roadmap, ownership and leadership readiness assessments, family conversation guides, a succession timeline template, and a curated peer circle.
Outcomes: A drafted succession roadmap with named owners and dates, a shared vocabulary for the family conversations ahead, and the confidence to start the handoff instead of postponing it.

Circle Two · 5-Week Intensive

For the next generation stepping into rooms they haven't led yet.

Earn credibility with the family, the leadership team, and the people who remember you as a kid.
Lead through the awkward middle — authority you haven't been formally given yet.
Build your own leadership voice without dishonoring the one that built the business.

The problem it solves: Next-generation leaders are handed responsibility long before they're handed authority. Without a place to practice, they either over-defer and stall, or overcorrect and fracture trust. Both cost years.
Who it's for: Next-generation family members, emerging leaders, managers being groomed for more, and non-family leaders rising inside a family enterprise.
What's included: Five live virtual sessions, a leadership readiness self-assessment, influence and difficult-conversation frameworks, a 90-day leadership plan, and a peer circle of others carrying the same weight.
Outcomes: Clarity on the role you're actually stepping into, language for the conversations you've been avoiding, a 90-day plan you start immediately, and peers you'll still be calling in three years.

Circle Three · 5-Week Intensive

Build a strategy — before the market builds one for you.

Cut through the noise: what AI actually changes in a business like yours, and what it doesn't.
Find and prioritize the highest-value use cases across operations, sales, finance, and service.
Set the guardrails — data, policy, and people — so adoption doesn't outrun judgment.

The problem it solves: Small and family businesses are caught between hype and paralysis. Competitors are moving, the team is experimenting in the shadows, and no one owns a strategy. Falling behind here compounds quietly, then all at once.
Who it's for: Owners, presidents, and leadership teams of small and family businesses who need a practical AI strategy rather than another demo.
What's included: Five live virtual sessions, an AI opportunity audit for your business, a use-case prioritization matrix, a starter usage and data policy, vendor evaluation criteria, and a peer circle sharing what's working.
Outcomes: A one-page AI strategy tied to your business goals, two or three pilots already underway, guardrails your team understands, and a leadership team that's aligned instead of anxious.

Circle Four · 5-Week Intensive

Decide how you'll decide — before the decision gets personal.

Separate the three tables: family, ownership, and business — and know which one you're at.
Draft the agreements that prevent conflict instead of refereeing it after the fact.
Build a rhythm of family meetings and decision rights the next generation can inherit.

The problem it solves: When roles, rights, and rules live only in people's heads, every hard moment becomes a negotiation about relationships. Families don't usually fracture over strategy — they fracture over process no one agreed to.
Who it's for: Family ownership groups, sibling and cousin partnerships, family councils, and boards ready to formalize how the family and the enterprise work together.
What's included: Five live virtual sessions, the family constitution framework, decision-rights and role-clarity templates, family meeting agendas, a conflict protocol, and a peer circle of other families doing the work.
Outcomes: A working draft of your family's governing agreements, a scheduled family meeting rhythm, agreed decision rights, and a path to a formal constitution with your whole family behind it.

Circle Five · 5-Week Intensive

Culture is either designed on purpose — or it happens to you.

Craft a purpose and vision people can repeat without reading it off a wall.
Define values as behaviors you can hire, coach, and hold each other to — not adjectives.
Build the communication rhythms and language that make the culture real between meetings.

The problem it solves: Most organizations, teams and families operate on unwritten rules nobody chose. Without shared purpose, vision and values, every decision gets relitigated, communication breaks down, and culture drifts toward whatever the loudest voice tolerates.
Who it's for: Organizations, leadership teams, families, family councils, boards, and any group that needs one shared answer to "who are we, where are we going, and how do we treat each other?"
What's included: Five live virtual sessions, purpose and vision drafting workshops, a values-to-behaviors translation framework, communication charter and meeting-rhythm templates, a rollout and implementation planner, and a peer circle.
Outcomes: A written set of guiding principles — purpose, vision, values and communication norms — plus a named, dated implementation plan for embedding them into hiring, meetings, recognition and everyday decisions.

Growth happens in circles.
