Strategic Leadership Intensive
Founding Client Rate: $1,500 | Standard Rate: $3,500
5 founding client spots for January 2026 — then the rate jumps.
You're working 60–80 hour weeks. Putting out fires. Solving the same problems over and over. Reacting to whatever blows up next.
You know this isn't sustainable. And you know "work-life balance" advice from people who've never run a school is useless.
This isn't about working less. It's about winning smarter.
The Shift
Before: Overwhelmed. Reactive. Exhausted. Same battles, different day.
After: Clear. Strategic. In control. Your school runs on systems — not on you being everywhere.
What You Build
Strategic Thinking
Decision-making frameworks that work under pressure. Not theory. Not endless meetings. Tools that help you assess fast, prioritize resources, and act decisively.
Sustainable Systems
Infrastructure that doesn't collapse when you're absent. Your school runs on structure — not your heroics.
Energy Management
Time back. Mental space back. Say no strategically. Delegate without guilt. Protect your capacity to lead.
Confident Decision-Making
Proven frameworks for the decisions that haunt principals:
Personnel crises
Budget cuts
Parent/community conflict
District politics
Culture breakdowns
You'll stop reacting. You'll start leading.

Who This Is For
Principals who:
Are tired of living in crisis mode
Are ready to stop fighting the same battles
Want sustainable systems, not more effort
Are willing to examine their own leadership honestly
Who This Is NOT For
Principals who:
Want someone to tell them what to do
Resist looking at their own patterns
Expect immediate magic fixes
Think coaching works without commitment
Investment: $1,500 (Founding Client Rate)
I've been the principal working 70-hour weeks. I've made the mistake of thinking I could outwork the problem. I learned strategic leadership the hard way—19 years in Oakland schools, Marine Corps combat veteran, Infantry Officer, 8 years as a Middle School Principal.
The $1,500 founding rate covers the complete 6-month program (12 sessions). Available to the first 5 principals starting in January 2026. In exchange: honest feedback and a testimonial if the program delivers.
After 5 spots fill, rates increase to $2,500–$3,500.
Payment Options
Full payment: $1,500 at start
Two payments: $750 at start, $750 at Month 3
Satisfaction Guarantee
If you're dissatisfied after Session 1, you get a full refund. (5-day written notice required.)
How It Works
1. Apply (5 minutes)
Complete the Strategic Fit Application.
2. Strategic Fit Call (20 minutes)
We discuss your goals, challenges, politics, and whether strategic coaching is right. I turn down clients who aren't ready. This only works when we're aligned.
3. Session 1
We build the partnership and apply the S-ORDER framework to a live issue. You walk away with clarity you can use tomorrow.
4. Sessions 2–12
We systematically rebuild how you think and lead. You develop strategic capacity, systems leadership, and the ability to lead without burning yourself out.
