Strategic Comms Diagnostic

A focused outside read before you commit to a direction.

Who This Is For

This diagnostic is for senior leaders who are approaching a significant decision or announcement and want an expert, honest outside assessment before moving forward.

It is most relevant when something feels uncertain, and you want a senior communications perspective quickly, before your thinking becomes visible or a longer engagement makes sense.

This is not a strategy session. It does not produce a plan or execution guidance. The purpose is to give you a clear assessment of where your communications risk lives and what needs to be addressed before moving forward.

If the diagnostic reveals that your situation warrants deeper work, I will tell you that directly and explain why. If it reveals that you are more ready than you thought, I will tell you that too.

The diagnostic is a private three-hour working session conducted with you or your leadership team.

The session runs in two parts.

The first portion examines the decision, the announcement timeline, and the organizational context surrounding it.

The second portion stress-tests your current thinking: how different audiences are likely to interpret it and where alignment may be weaker than it appears internally.

Within 48 hours of the session, you receive:

• A written summary of findings
• A clear recommendation for next steps

That recommendation will tell you whether you are ready to move forward or whether additional work is needed before the announcement goes out.

$7,500 flat fee. No variable pricing based on scope or complexity.

If you are approaching a decision point and want a senior outside perspective before committing to a direction, reach out. I review each inquiry personally and will follow up if there is a strong fit.

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