90-Day Executive Communications Advisory

When leadership alignment matters before communication begins

This advisory supports executive teams navigating high-risk moments where communication choices carry real consequences.

It is most relevant when:

• Decisions are still forming and alignment matters
• Leaders need shared understanding before messages are visible
• Timing, sequencing, and interpretation matter as much as language
• Communication will influence trust, confidence, or execution
• A senior external perspective would reduce risk before exposure

This work focuses on decision clarity before communication begins.

Misalignment rarely shows up as open disagreement. It shows up later as confusion, reversals, and credibility loss.

A leadership team announces a restructuring as a growth opportunity. Employees interpret it as job cuts because the last restructuring resulted in layoffs. By the time leadership clarifies, trust is damaged and weeks are spent managing confusion.

A nonprofit's executive director announces a strategic refocus to the board as expanding impact. Staff hear it and assume their programs are being cut. Donors receive mixed messages about priorities. What leadership framed as growth becomes a trust crisis.

Once communication is visible, the cost of correction rises sharply. This advisory helps leadership teams slow down briefly to make better decisions so communication moves faster and more confidently afterward.

Over the course of 90 days, I work directly with senior leaders to build a communications framework that your internal teams can execute with confidence.

Support typically includes:

• Executive listening and issue framing
• Clarifying priorities, constraints, and decision boundaries
• Alignment on what can be said, when, and by whom
• Identifying likely misinterpretations and pressure points
• Real-time counsel as decisions evolve

This is strategic counsel that equips your team to execute consistently as decisions unfold.

The output is not a document.
The output is aligned leadership and reduced risk.

Engagements are scoped based on timing and complexity.

Final pricing is confirmed after an initial conversation.

If you're navigating sustained organizational change and need strategic counsel as decisions evolve over time, complete the inquiry form below. I review each submission personally and will follow up if there's a strong fit.

The initial conversation is exploratory and focuses on understanding your situation, not on selling services.
