The Read
A read on the person, the team, or the decision in front of you.
You've done the work.
Everyone you trust says go.
And something still won’t settle.
That's not a gap in your diligence. It was the part it was never built to catch.
What checks out on paper doesn't tell you whether they believe what they're saying, what they do when the pressure comes, or whether the thing driving this is conviction or fear.
You make the call. You just make it with the whole picture.
One session with you.
Your perspective, what's making you hesitate, what you're trying to achieve.
One to three sessions in front of it.
The person, the team, the deal, the partnership. One on one or in a room you're already in.
One session to review my read.
Followed by a written thesis.
