Introduction
The PTP service is for leaders looking for a trusted partner to tackle complex challenges, gain fresh insights, and develop new ideas. Think of it as having a sounding board who’s just as invested in your journey as you are—someone to collaborate with, not just tell you what to do.
It’s a hands-on, personalized partnership. We’re here to support you through the big decisions, unexpected twists, and even the moments of self-doubt, offering an open, nonjudgmental space to explore and grow.
With a background in design thinking, innovation, business modeling, consulting, and entrepreneurship, we bring a blend of creativity, strategic insight, and real-world practicality to the table. Together, we’ll tackle challenges, refine your ideas, and create a path forward that aligns with your vision and goals.
Whether you’re looking to address a specific issue or chart a course for long-term growth, this service is designed to adapt to your unique needs and ambitions.
What to Expect
One Work Session: In a single session, we’ll get right into a pressing topic or challenge you’re facing. We bring a fresh, cross-industry perspective to help you see things differently. For example, we could use design thinking to reframe a tricky situation, or futures thinking to consider long-term possibilities. Whatever we dive into, it’s all about finding a clear way forward on the topics that matter most to you.
Ongoing Partnership: If you’re ready for a deeper dive, we’ll start with a framing session where we’ll get to know your background, goals, and big-picture vision. Then, we’ll meet twice a month to work through whatever is on your mind. Each work session builds on the last, helping you make real progress on long-term goals, find clarity, and feel more grounded as you lead.
Over time, you’ll find:
→ Clarity: You’ll see complex issues with fresh eyes.
→ New Perspectives: We’ll explore different angles and frameworks to get unstuck.
→ Confidence: With each work session, you’ll feel more sure-footed in your choices.
→ Resilience: You’ll strengthen your ability to adapt, grow, and keep going no matter what.
