Billed monthly. 1-month notice to cancel. Can be combined with other services.
Common Questions
How is this different from Embedded Leadership?
Advisory is strategic only (no execution). I help you make decisions, not implement them. Think board advisor vs. operator.
What determines the monthly rate?
Call frequency and urgency of access. Standard = bi-weekly calls. Premium = weekly calls + priority async. Executive = unlimited scheduled + crisis support.
Can I book calls outside the retainer?
Yes, subject to availability. We can discuss ad-hoc rates for your tier during onboarding.
What if I need help with fundraising?
I can review pitch decks, coach on narrative, and do mock investor calls. Many advisory clients are fundraising.
Can this be combined with other services?
Absolutely. Many clients start with Advisory, then add Clarity Sprint or Embedded Leadership as needs evolve.
What's the cancellation policy?
1-month notice. If you cancel mid-month, you're charged for the full month but can use remaining time.
