Phase Zero is for CEOs, founders, and transformation leaders of small to mid-sized orgs — or divisions at large orgs.
When we’re surrounded by difficult questions, it can be tempting to go back to the basics — picking a goal and taking clear steps towards a destination.
But when today’s systems are interconnected and changing so fast — and yesterday’s basics are tomorrow’s outdated thinking — leaders need to pause to think big picture about the mindsets and narratives used within their organizations.
By asking — and answering — these complex questions, organizations can align on new direction, overcome system-level blockages, and transform confusion and uncertainty into opportunity.
That’s what Phase Zero helps you accomplish — in just 2 weeks.
phase 0 gets beneath the surface
Shift your focus from the goal you’re working towards to the process of getting there.
what you get
→ Narrative Diagnostic Report — an honest mirror of what’s working and what’s not
→ Custom Change Map — identifies pressure points, opportunities, and next steps
→ Leadership Briefing — co-created summary with clarity, alignment, and momentum
Who It’s for
Executive or leadership teams in moments of transition, growth, or misalignment
Strategy, brand, or comms leaders seeking clarity on a narrative that’s not landing
Founders and changemakers navigating complex internal dynamics
Phase 0 finds answers to today’s most complex business questions — fast.
Are we acting on the right data — or just the easiest data to find?
Why isn’t our messaging resonating — internally or externally?
Are we taking too big a risk — or not enough risk?
How can we stop and pivot when we’re already over capacity?
What are we overlooking that could blindside us?
Do we have the right mix of skills, culture and motivation for change?
Should we integrate AI — or is AI integrating us?
Have we truly balanced business results with human needs?
how phase zero works
Get beneath the surface of your strategic or narrative challenges — and build shared insight that can guide practical next steps.
Formal and informal stakeholder interviews
I speak directly with key voices across your organization — not just the usual suspects — to surface perspectives, reveal hidden tensions, and highlight where stories are aligning (or not).
Tailored, actionable maps for what’s next
I co-create clear, visual outputs that connect insights to action — pinpointing outside-the-norm solutions, and what next steps can create momentum.
Detailed review of comms across the org
I analyze messaging at every level — from leadership emails to internal decks to external channels — to identify gaps, contradictions, and opportunities to improve coherence.
Facilitated alignment session to create change
I bring key stakeholders together around shared insight — turning individual perspectives into internal alignment for leadership flexibility, communication and decision-making.
1:1 Creative Thinking sessions for leaders
I facilitate structured conversations that help your leadership team think differently — beyond buzzwords — to explore root causes, challenge assumptions, and spark new ideas.
