FAQ

Common questions from leaders

  • You’re in crisis right now. Your organization faces active disruption. Your leadership team is reacting and you need someone who can help them think clearly and coordinate effectively. Call immediately. Or you’ve had a close call and you want to know where your team would actually break before the pressure arrives. Either situation warrants a conversation.

  • You describe your situation. I listen and ask questions about your organizational structure, who your decision-makers are, and what’s actually moving. We establish scope and timeline. I tell you honestly whether this is the right fit and what engagement would look like. If you’re in active crisis, the call takes 15 minutes. If you’re preparing, we may need 30 minutes to understand your operation.

  • For active incidents: within hours. You call, we assess, I’m engaged. For pre-crisis preparation: we schedule within days depending on your timeline. For executive advisory: immediate availability for situations that require real-time decision counsel.

  • $12,000 to $35,000 depending on incident scope and duration. Most crisis engagements run 48 hours to 2 weeks. If you’re facing a longer disruption, we establish ongoing terms. Real-time decision support runs $2,000-$5,000 per hour, billed as it happens.

  • Preparation is continual, but to build a foundation we suggest the following:

    Pressure-tested simulations: 4-8 weeks. You run exercises, identify vulnerabilities, get specific action items.

    Resilience strategy and program design: 8-12 weeks. We build a program designed around how your organization actually operates.

  • Absolutely. Crisis situations are private. I don’t discuss clients, situations, or outcomes. Your invoice structure, how you fund this, who you tell—that’s all your call. I don’t ask questions about it.

  • Yes. I’m based in Northern Virginia and serve organizations across DC, Maryland, Northern Virginia, and nationally. I work with Fortune 500 companies, mid-market private organizations, government contractors, and nonprofit leaders. I work with teams that operate across multiple sites where coordination is critical.

  • I work with regional, national, and international operations regularly. Disruption coordination across multiple locations is exactly what I do. Geography isn’t a barrier.

  • Schedule a call. Describe what you’re dealing with or what you’re concerned about. I’ll tell you honestly whether this is a conversation worth having and what you’d actually get from engagement. If I think you’re better served going a different direction, I’ll tell you that too.

  • Very probably. If it involves organizational coordination under pressure, decision-making in crisis, or leadership clarity during disruption, it’s likely something I work on. Call and describe the situation. We figure out if and how I can help.
