Narrative Advisory™

Continuity for the questions that keep moving.

Advisory is for work that cannot be solved in one session because the decisions, relationships and consequences continue to change.

Executive visibility · public authority

Executive Thought Leadership Development

Thought leadership is not volume for its own sake. It is the disciplined translation of lived authority into ideas other people can understand, use and act on. We clarify the point of view, signature themes, public voice and editorial direction that make visibility useful—not performative.

Build the foundation

Establish a point of view people can recognize.

Research and interviews; narrative territory; audience and platform strategy; three to five signature themes; voice guidance; a flagship idea; and a 90-day editorial and speaking roadmap.

Custom scope · focused foundations commonly begin at $7,500

Steward it in public

Build continuity around the ideas.

Recurring interviews, editorial development, channel adaptation, speaking preparation and visibility planning aligned with the institution’s larger narrative.

Custom scope · ongoing development generally begins at $4,500–$6,500/month

Explore Thought Leadership Development

Boundary: publishing volume, ghostwriting, production, media placement and campaign management are scoped separately. Thought-leadership development may sit inside an executive advisory or institutional system when that is the cleaner relationship.

Institutional systems

Narrative Infrastructure Systems™

Every institution already has a narrative. The problem is that it often lives in fragments—in leadership decisions, employee experience, strategy documents, public language and stakeholder expectations. Narrative Infrastructure Systems™ surfaces that meaning, aligns the people responsible for carrying it, and builds the shared language, governance, communication practices and decision tools that allow the institution to lead from one coherent story.

What the work may include

  • narrative audit and leadership listening;
  • shared-story architecture and decision principles;
  • stakeholder alignment and narrative governance;
  • leadership communication and thought-leadership modules;
  • internal and external communication practices; and
  • an implementation and stewardship roadmap.

Focused engagements begin at $15,000. More comprehensive systems commonly require $25,000–$45,000+, depending on leadership access, research, facilitation, implementation and team needs.

Scope a Narrative Infrastructure System

Access can widen without making the work smaller.

Sponsors, foundations, employers and community partners may underwrite individual advisory, supported seats, clinics or cohorts. The standard of the experience remains intact; the funding source changes.
