Pulse checks
Your team scores the change — start, middle, end.
Yes — about two thirds of engagements are sponsored. I send a one-page summary and a simple agreement, and the sponsor gets a short progress note each quarter. Never session content.
You do not need to. We work that out on the chemistry call; about a third of people end up somewhere other than where they expected.
We will both know by the midpoint pulse. If the numbers have not moved we change the approach, and if they still do not, we stop and you are not billed for the remainder.
Yes, through The Leadership Bench. I only take team work where the chief executive is in the room for every session.
