Founders have used this work to raise $25M from top VCs and heal deep parts of themselves.
Testimonials
A third-time founder who previously raised $100M+ healed blind spots around communication he hadn’t seen in 20 years of operating. Then he used these techniques to close $15M and get hours back in his day-to-day calls.
“You found a blind spot I’ve never seen before.”
“I have gotten better. Last week there were calls where I did interrupt people a lot.”
A second-time founder who previously raised $100M learned to enjoy eye contact and connection.
“I used to be intimidated by eye contact and avoid it. Now I relish it.”
YC founder who learned to be firm with his team, customers, and investors on the modality.
"This feels like yoga for the mind." "Thirst quenching for a part of my brain that doesn't get fed as often"
The Process
Together we’ll map your goals around directness, then tune in to the beliefs and identity that will enable you to become more direct. You’ll amplify the parts of yourself that support change and resilience, tune into your body, and map key phrases and relational motions that will enable directness.
A key piece: custom stories that are personalized to your life experience, beliefs, and identity, that will enable tactful directness to feel more accessible and easier. This modality is both powerful and totally under your control, since you can pick up or put down a story just like you’d do a favorite book.
You’ll learn to feel safer in your body, immerse yourself in a story, then take direct action that’s been outside your reach until now.
Safety. Unwind your nervous system. When the body is safe the mind opens to change.
Immersion. Open to a story and enter the place your soul’s been missing.
Action. Be the change. Small jumps, then leaps.
