What This Is
Built for the Inflection Point.
Strategic Mentorship is built for people in transition. A new role. A new business. Rethinking the strategy that got you here. Suddenly solo, by choice or by circumstance. A dream goal you have not yet named out loud. The whale client you are trying to land or trying to keep.
The month begins with an Austin Day. Four hours in person at Jim’s home, plus a 1:1 lunch or dinner together. From there, direct sessions and ongoing access carry the work forward through the full month.
Jim does not tell people what to do. He helps them see what they are already designed to become, and then he helps them build toward it. In one month, the right conversation with the right person can change the trajectory of a career.
“You don’t go to work at the Four Seasons for what they’ll pay you. You go for who you will become.”

What Strategic Mentorship Includes
Austin Day with Jim
Four hours in person at Jim's home in Austin, plus a 1:1 lunch or dinner together. The deepest single block of time you can spend with Jim outside of CPE candidacy. The diagnostic work that anchors the entire month happens here.
Diagnostic Assessment
Jim evaluates your situation using the Acorn Profile framework. Not a personality test. A map of who you already are, what you are building, and what stands in the way of the transition you are actually in.
Direct Sessions with Jim
Multiple one-on-one sessions over the full month following Austin Day. Every conversation picks up where the last one left off. No starting over. No catching up.
Positioning Strategy
A clear action plan for sharpening your positioning, clarifying your value message, and closing the gap between where you are and where you are going.
Ongoing Access
Email and message access to Jim throughout the month. When a decision comes up between sessions, you have the mentor in your corner.
