BUILT TO RUN : ONE-DAY FOCUS WORKSHOPS
Most leadership teams agree in the room and drift apart in execution … not from lack of effort, but from a missing filter. This is one day, spent installing the direction your team can actually run on.

Everyone's busy.
Nobody's idle.
And somehow the business still isn't moving.
That's usually not an effort problem… it's a filter problem.
Good ideas keep pulling your team in five directions instead of one.
Without a clear answer to what matters most, teams end up in silos, each one heads-down and working hard, sometimes even competing with each other instead of rowing together. Busy isn't the same as productive.
Jim Collins put it plainly: too many good ideas is what keeps a business from becoming great. Focus isn't just choosing what to do …it's just as much about naming what your team stops doing, so the effort that's already there finally goes somewhere.
We believe in complete alignment before any commitment. Review the criteria below to ensure our workshop formats match your team's stage and momentum.
Your company is doing $1M+ in revenue
You have a leadership team of 5–10 people
The people attending lead others and are eager to drive change
You (the owner) and your principal leaders are in the room
First workshop? Start with Vision & Direction Day — it's the foundation the other two build on
Someone on the team doesn't want to be there (reluctant participants work against the outcome, so we don't force it)
Your leadership team is larger than 10 people (we'll talk about a different format)
You're not willing to try new things or make real changes
You're not ready to make hard decisions — including cutting things you're already doing
You're not willing to put the clarity into action once the day is over
Startup Note: Early-stage startups are welcome too: the clarity matters just as much before you scale as after.
Implementation Note: Want hands-on help actually putting the clarity into place afterward, not just the day itself? That's what Fractional COO is for.
Where your leadership team stops pulling in different directions and starts rowing in the same one.
Leave with a clear, usable mission and vision your whole leadership team can recite and use to make decisions without you in the room.
OutcomeYou leave with: a Guiding Principles document
Set your quarterly priorities, assign real ownership, and stand up the simple scoreboard and weekly cadence that gets them actually done.
OutcomeYou leave with: a quarterly goal tracker
Get clear, at the leadership level, on what needs to be done and what doesn't - where the team should spend its effort, and which processes need to go.
OutcomeYou leave with: a value stream map
Measurable operational freedom across diverse industries and business models.
I've spent over 10 years teaching people how to set real goals and build the systems to actually reach them. Built to Run isn't theory I'm testing on your team — it's the same method, compressed into one focused day.
Direct, one-on-one intensive facilitation designed to unlock permanent operational freedom.
per day - 2026 rate, available through December 31. Moves to $4,997 on January 1.
What is included in your engagement:
2026 rate of $2,997/day holds through December 31 - after that, it's $4,997.
I can't guarantee what your team does with the clarity after the day - that part is on you. What I can guarantee is the clarity itself. Attend the full day, and if you don't walk away with a document your leadership team can actually use, tell me within 30 days and I'll refund the workshop fee. (Travel and location costs aren't included in the refund.)
Hosting in beautiful Ponte Vedra is possible with a room surcharge (depends on the space needed)
+ $500 if you're more than 100 miles from Ponte Vedra, FL (covers my transportation)
+ $500/night I need to travel to you (covers my food and lodging).
details on your audit call
It happens less than you'd think when the right people are in the room. That's why I ask that attendees be champions who lead others and want to be there - reluctant participants are the one thing that actually undermines the outcome, so we screen for that before the day, not during it.
You leave with a physical document for that day (guiding principles, goal tracker, or value stream map), plus one follow-up leadership meeting included to check that it's being used, not shelved.
See the 30-Day Clarity Guarantee above - if you attend the full day and the deliverable isn't something your team can genuinely use, I'll refund the workshop fee.
If this is your first workshop, start with Vision & Direction Day. It's the foundation the other two build on.
