When you really can’t talk to anyone — not your boss, colleagues, family, therapist, or even AI — about the one thing that consumes your life…

…talk to the twins.

Meaningful advisory — when you don’t otherwise have a trusted confidant to deeply listen and truly understand.

  • Professionalism, performance standards, communication norms… it all seems clear, so why is it so opaque? Corporate doublespeak, selective disclosure, and even intentional misdirection unfortunately contribute to general corporate fog. Let’s talk, together we’ll clear the fog.

  • Anxiety about aligning with company values or fitting into team dynamics? Let’s talk about the “unwritten rules” of corporate life, how promotions work, and how influence is built.

  • Gotten burned? Let’s navigate past the conflicts sides, power blindness, misplaced trust, false alliances, poor managing-up, and other sparks getting you burned.

  • Bleak horizons? Let’s talk, run through considerations, and avoid rash or costly decisions by identifying the actual meaning of structural, cultural, and personal factors at play.

Advisory sessions help accelerate potential — your own, as well as that of your company — for effective action on:

  • Personal concerns (rumination, distraction, constraints, etc.)

  • Structural concerns (team, project, and organizational dynamics, etc.)

  • Specific critical client/partner projects (sudden challenges, new risks, jeopardized solutions, etc.)

  • Getting burned — protection against dangerous sparks starts with early detection of asymmetry.

    EXAMPLE: Missing an honest assessment of workplace asymmetries: asymmetry in risk, information, accountability, commitment, or reward. You are all-in and the sparks start to fly, while others simply maintain plausible deniability.

  • Drowning in uncertainty — when ambiguity is constant, rising beyond your control.

    EXAMPLE: You are expected to “figure it out” without authority or context, and you realize information has been withheld,  targets moved, and feedback is contradictory… everything has you second-guessing without any solid ground in sight.

  • Temporary turbulance or terminal decline — it is important to get  the forecast right.

    EXAMPLE: Assessing the pressure zones, the highs and lows of organizational signals, to correctly predict the result of an imperfect plan (by understanding what is credible), a rough quarter (by recognizing the aspects which are time-bound, or what’s beyond the all the stress (by connecting effort to outcomes).

  • Anxiety arising from problematic pack mentality — don’t focus on communication, focus on alignment.

    EXAMPLE: Protect your voice without triggering the pack, because misunderstandings are typically due to misalignment. Say what you want, the real problem may be loyalty over understanding, agreement over good decision making, conformity over clarity, a scapegoat for discomfort over a source of insight, power over facts.  

  • An unexpected slip — no more solid ground, no more bridges — crossing a chasm requires balance.

    EXAMPLE: A critical client/partner project or relationship suddenly looses all footing — what happened? When a complex set of variables (stakeholder, product, project, internal, external, and other factors) rip open a chasm, a balanced perspective may may connect the sides.
