I keep my roster small.

The Brute Force Trap
The pattern I see most often in Clayton executives is this: when something stops working — the marriage flattens, the drinking creeps up, the vice you've been promising to quit for a decade doesn't quit, the daughter you adore won't return your calls — the instinct is to apply more of what built the career. More discipline. More structure. More willpower.
Brute force works in Q3. It does not work for happy families and relational legacy.
I call this the Brute Force Trap, and it's nearly universal in high-performing executives. The skills that made you elite at managing teams, a visionary on the board, acquisition or arbitrage, are the wrong skills for the inner work that needs recalibration. You were trained your entire career to solve problems with effort. The thing in front of you right now isn't an effort problem.

Most executives have advisors for the company. Almost none have one for the life the company depends on.
What I work on
I work with a small number of Clayton-area professionals— executives, law and consulting partners — on the parts of their life that don't respond to work ethic and discipline alone.
Marriage they can't fix by trying harder.
Compulsive behavior they can't out-manage.
The slow erosion of meaning that nobody at the office can see.
My approach integrates multiple disciplines: psychology, theology, neurology, and embodied work because true fulfillment requires depth. The reason a therapist, spiritual guide, or a coach alone hasn't moved the needle is that the work crosses disciplines.
