The Boardoom will put the exact plan in your hands.

Bright yellow-green circle on black background.

With The Boardroom, you can stop guessing and start executing

You've read the books. Sat through the masterminds. Hired the coach.

You left every one of them with a framework and a notebook full of ideas, and still had to figure out, alone, and decide how any of it applies to your specific business.

The best part about The Boardroom is you will have:

  1. an actionable plan and feedback on your business

  2. a seat at the table while four other businesses are assessed and improved in real time,

  3. ability to apply the lessons from the other case studies to your business

One day - 5 deep dives - focused action plan.

  • 30-Minute Intake Call: we do a deep dive before you enter the room - business performance, your numbers, your team, your clients/customers, your obstacles, and your goals.

  • 30-Minute Pre-Session Prep Call: after intake, this call sharpens the exact recommendations we bring into the room, you get a first look at our findings and can stress test what our assessment is uncovering.

  • The Full-Day Intensive, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, San Francisco: your deep dive presented to you by our seasoned operators - what we found, what we recommend and the plan to get you there. And then you get a seat at the table as we run the play again for 4 more businesses.

  • Networking Cocktail Close: close the day with the four other owners who now understand your business better than most people in your life do, that are your peers and co-collaborators.

  • 30-Minute Follow-Up Call: once you've had a few days to sit with the plan, we make sure it's landing and the next steps are clear.

Why This Room, Not Just Another Strategy Day

  • Fortune 100/500 caliber, in the room with you: every operator has verified corporate experience

  • Five deep dives, not one: you leave having watched five businesses get diagnosed, not just yours.

  • A plan, not a framework: you walk out with the two or three levers that matter most in your business, and the exact steps to pull them.

  • Curated, not first-come-first-served: five businesses are chosen for fit, never direct competitors in the same room.

  • Confidential by design: every attendee signs an NDA. What's said in the room stays in the room.

The Results You Will Experience

The Plan

Not a slide deck of high-level strategy, a written, specific operational plan built around your numbers, your team, and your goal.

The Room

Four more businesses' worth of pattern-matching. Most of what breaks a $1M–$10M business isn't unique to that business, you'll recognize your own bottleneck in someone else's before the day is half over.

The Momentum

A follow-up call once you've had time to sit with the plan, and a clear next step, whether that's executing on your own or continuing with On Call COO.

Who This is For

This is for you if:

  • Your business does $1M+ in revenue, with a real team and real numbers behind it

  • Growth has outpaced your ability to run the business, or growth has stalled and you can't tell why

  • You're facing a specific obstacle, transition, or turnaround and want an outside operator's read on it

  • You want the operational plan, not another strategic framework

  • You're comfortable being transparent about your business in front of four other owners, that transparency is where the value lives

This isn’t for you if:

  • You're pre-revenue or under $1M

  • You need total privacy and can't discuss your business in front of other owners (ask about a private VIP Day instead)

  • You're looking for hype or a keynote, this is a working session, not entertainment

$10,000. Five seats.

That includes the intake call, the prep call, the full in-person intensive with your deep dive plus four more, the happy hour, and the follow-up call, plus a written operational plan you keep.

Because this room is small and curated on purpose, we don't sell seats, we fill them with the right five businesses.

If it's not a fit, we'll tell you plainly and point you toward something that is.
