the method, in the room.

Keynotes, workshops, and off-sites: a map drawn together. A working session, not a lecture — your audience leaves with a method, not just a metaphor. This guide maps the investment and the terms of the day.

Choose the size of the room and the depth of the work.

keynote

the address

Sixty minutes plus Q&A on decision mapping, ideation, or navigating change — tailored to your room, delivered once, live. One event, one stage; your audience leaves carrying the method.

$9,500
per event
keynote + working session

the workshop

The address, then sleeves up: a same-day working session where your team maps one of its own live decisions with the method it just heard. The idea arrives applied, not described.

$14,000
per day
executive retreat & off-site

the summit

Two days of facilitated off-site work, bracketed by the real work: stakeholder pre-interviews and agenda design before, a written route-map of commitments after — routes, not notes.

the terms

the fine print, plainly.

The essentials of how we work together. A signed agreement governs every engagement — this is the plain-language version of it.

01

the first conversation

Thirty minutes, free, and useful on its own. No proposal until we've actually talked about your room, your audience, and what they should carry out of it.

02

booking the date

A 50% deposit holds the date; the balance is invoiced after delivery, net 15. A booking is one event, one room, one live delivery — an address doesn't split into two shorter talks, and it doesn't repeat down the hall (that's an encore).

03

customization

Every engagement includes a discovery call and two rounds of tailoring — agenda, cases, and language fit to your room. Deeper custom builds, new frameworks, or proprietary research are scoped and quoted separately.

04

the working room

Workshop and summit working sessions are capped at 25 participants — past that, facilitation stops working. Larger groups add a second session or a co-facilitator, quoted at booking. Theater seating for the address is uncapped.

05

recording & reuse

The live delivery is what's purchased. An internal-archive recording license is available as an add-on ($2,500; internal use only). Public distribution, excerpting, and use in training materials or AI systems aren't licensed at any price. Slides and frameworks remain ours; the maps your team draws are yours.

06

encores

A second live delivery to a different room on the same day and site is available as an add-on ($4,000) — booked in advance, not decided in the hallway.

07

the summit's shape

Pre-interviews and agenda design come before; the written route-map arrives within ten business days after. Both are included. Additional days ($8,000 each) are agreed before the retreat begins — summit days run consecutively and don't scatter into stray half-days across the calendar.

08

travel

Included within the houston–austin–dallas triangle. Beyond it: a flat $1,500 domestic fee (international quoted individually), plus reasonable expenses at cost — never marked up.

09

postponement & cancellation

One reschedule within six months moves the deposit with the date. Cancellation inside 30 days retains the deposit; inside 14 days, the full fee. If we must cancel, you receive a full refund and first right to the next open date.

10

the small print

Fees effective july 2026 and reviewed annually — never repriced after booking. This guide is informational; the signed engagement agreement governs.
