Clinics

Specialty care for the things
that derail leaders.

The Care Plans are the general practice: you come in, get examined, and are treated for whatever the diagnosis finds. The Clinics are specialty care: you already know the complaint, and you go to the clinic that treats it.

Now forming

Two clinics are forming.

All doors

The Conflict Clinic

Building the capacity to navigate conflict and resistance.

Conflict rarely starts where it shows up. This program teaches you to find the door it came through, diagnose what kind it is, and carry only the conflicts that are yours to carry. Modules, a course, and coaching, purchased whole or one module at a time.

All doors

The Communication Clinic

Building the capacity to say the hard thing well.

Most communication training gives you phrases. This program gives you the posture underneath them, then the phrases, then the practice, so the hard conversation goes the way you meant it to. Modules, a course, and coaching, purchased whole or one module at a time.

Coming soon

Three more in development.

Keep Up

The AI Clinic

Building the capacity to lead when the work keeps changing.

For the leader whose role is being reshaped: which skills AI absorbs, which it amplifies, and which are yours alone, and what to do about each.

Lead Change

The Change Clinic

Building the capacity to lead change others did not choose.

For the leader who has to carry a change through a team: why change fails, what to examine before the announcement, and how to make it hold.

Move Up

The Readiness Clinic

Building the capacity to be prepared, positioned, and seen.

For the leader who is ready for more: readiness that has been prepared, positioned where the decision is made, and presented so it is understood.

A good doctor does not prescribe what she has not examined.

How every clinic begins

The H.E.A.R.T. Exam.

Every clinic opens with its own specialist examination. In the Conflict and Communication Clinics it is the H.E.A.R.T. Exam: a self-scoring reading of the posture you bring to conflict and conversation, because both begin with posture before they begin with words. It is included with your program, and your results open the Diagnosis module.

Not sure a clinic is the right door?

If you do not yet know the complaint, start with a Check-Up instead.
