What you get
- A better witness. Calm, slow, brief. We train the physiology of testimony (breath, pause, the short answer, the anger trigger) in the weeks before a deposition or trial, and we never touch substance. Your preparation does the rest.
- A manageable client. Clients in a threat response call too often, want to explain, and make impulsive settlement decisions. A client who has learned to open your emails from the belly instead of the throat is a different client.
- Nothing discoverable. No case facts, no recording, no notes, no clinical record. The work is education and coaching, not therapy, and it sits entirely outside the case.
- Coordination on your terms. We will confirm receipt of a referral to you, align session timing with your deposition and trial calendar, and otherwise stay out of your way. We do not report content, ever.
Who to refer
- Physicians and surgeons in malpractice claims, board complaints and peer review
- Founders, executives and directors in co-founder, investor, employment, IP and regulatory matters
- Attorneys in legal malpractice claims and disciplinary matters
- Any professional client whose sleep, judgment or composure has become a problem for the defense
What it costs the client
A free 20-minute call to establish fit. Then the one-day Executive Retreat ($1,500), monthly circles ($400), or private deposition-timed sessions by package. Many clients' carriers or employers sponsor the work; we invoice the sponsor directly if asked. There is no referral fee in either direction, and we do not pay for referrals.
