Why We Built PATHfinder →
For 10 years, we charged $50,000-$100,000 for transformation work.
We loved it. But we could only help teams with big budgets.
So we made a decision: Package everything we learned—every framework, every guide, every lesson from the trenches—and give it away.
We spent 10 years watching talented leaders struggle—not because they weren't good enough, but because they were trying to figure it out alone. They just didn't know where to start.
Board and staff weren't aligned. Good people were disengaged. Members were leaving.
And every "solution" just added more complexity.
So we built something different. A system that puts you back in control. Where your team tells you what matters. Where you know exactly what to fix first. Where you're not dependent on expensive consultants.
We're giving you 10 years of consulting wisdom. The complete playbook. The same system championship teams follow.
For $2,500.
Because we believe leaders should LEAD. Not outsource leadership. And you can.
We Studied the Best Teams in History.
They All Followed the Same Path.
The Civil Rights Movement.
Apple's 1997 turnaround.
Championship sports dynasties.
Elite military units.
Every transformational team followed the same order.
Every championship team in history followed this path.
Not by chance. By design.
Skip a step? It fails. Follow the PATH? It transforms.
PATHfinder shows you exactly which step to take first.
WHY IT MATTERS TO YOU

Why This Works When Surveys Don’t

Expensive and cumbersome processes yield middling results and erode engagement
LEADER CENTRIC
Leaders and managers only get answers to questions THEY want to ask, not what is important to each employee
GENERIC TEMPLATES
Leaders and managers only get answers to questions THEY want to ask, not what is important to each employee
