How the numbers on this site are computed.

The figures below are drawn from 200+ paid engagements with senior corporate leaders between 2016 and 2026, across the US, EU, UK, and Canada. Free intro calls, pro-bono conversations, and unpaid advisory are excluded.

Roles in the sample: Directors, VPs, CTOs, Heads of Engineering, and senior individual contributors earning $120K+ at the time of engagement. Sectors: tech, product, data, finance, operations, marketing.

Count of distinct senior leaders who paid for and completed at least one structured engagement (Senior Landing Program™, Leadership Identity Recode™, or Executive Advisory) between 2016 and 2026. One engagement per person, even when a leader returned for a second program. Group cohorts inside corporate clients are not counted as individual engagements.

Median delta between the leader's self-reported expected timeline at intake and the time-to-signed-offer in the Senior Landing Program. Computed across landings in the 2022–2026 window. Excludes leaders who paused the engagement for personal or medical reasons, and leaders who accepted a non-competitive offer against my explicit recommendation.

"Search shortened" is not the same as total search length. A leader who expected nine months and landed in four counts as a five-month delta.

Mean delta between the leader's prior base salary and the base salary of the accepted offer, in USD, currency-normalized at the offer date. Cash only — sign-on, equity refresh, and bonus targets are not included in this figure. Total compensation growth including equity and sign-on typically runs 25–40% over 12 months and is reported separately when relevant.

Leaders who took a strategic step-down (e.g. a deliberate move from VP to founding engineer) are excluded from the average — they pull it down, but the move was the point.

A written offer for a role at or above the leader's prior level, within the target geography and sector defined together at intake, at or above 90% of the agreed target base. The guarantee triggers if no such offer arrives within 180 days of program start and the leader has completed every coaching call, taken every interview lined up, and shipped every weekly application target. There are no exit clauses.

The three capsules on the case studies page are real engagements from inside the practice. Role, sector, length, intervention, and outcome are accurate. Names, employer, and identifying detail are removed. Where a client has given written permission, named testimonials appear elsewhere on the site.

Every engagement is confidential by default. Nothing discussed in a coaching call, advisory session, or strategy conversation is shared, referenced, or repackaged externally without explicit written permission. This is in the engagement letter, not just on this page.

This is not an academic study. The sample is the practice, not a representative slice of the corporate population. The numbers are honest, conservative, and based on actual engagements I personally ran — not extrapolations, not industry benchmarks, not vendor data. If a figure on this site cannot be reconciled with this page, treat this page as the source of truth and tell me directly.
