A private advisory council for independent professionals who sell services
Real problems in real time.
The Independent Expert Advisory Council is a private, facilitated peer advisory group for independent professionals and small firm founders who sell expertise. Capped at ten seats only. Monthly sessions via Zoom. Every member vetted personally by the facilitator. Built for trust, not scale.
The Independent Expert Advisory Council is designed for founders who are already successful but who want objective input from other skilled operators.
Admission is selective and based on overall fit with the Council’s standards at the facilitator’s discretion.
The prospectus covers membership details,
expectations, pricing and more.
Running an independent practice means making consequential decisions alone, often without access to anyone who truly understands the economics of expertise-driven work.
Colleagues help when they can, but few have navigated the same terrain. The result is drift.
Positioning softens, pricing becomes reactive, and a practice that was supposed to provide freedom begins to resemble a demanding, underpaid job.
The Council exists to counter that drift.
A group of trusted, experienced operators meet monthly in a structured, facilitated environment. Members bring a wide variety of challenges to the table.
Assumptions are challenged. Trade-offs are examined. Blind spots are surfaced. The majority of time is reserved for working member issues in depth.
This is not a networking group, or group coaching. It is not a leads group, social club, or a place to pitch your services.
Those things exist in abundance elsewhere. This Council serves a different purpose.
If you give it, you get it.
The Council is designed for already successful independent professionals who sell services to other businesses, including consultants, advisors, coaches, fractional executives, solo principals and founders of small firms.
If you control your own pricing, choose your own clients and have been doing this long enough to contribute, you belong in this conversation.
This room is not built for scale. Other groups are optimized for volume. We optimize for the quality of the people in the room. There is only one group.
Perhaps you don’t. This Council is designed for successful operators who understand the value of peer input. Would you want to belong to a group of unsuccessful people?
No. You’ll be placed on a waiting list for when a seat becomes available. If you are still interested in that time, you may be allowed to join.
The founding cohort is currently being assembled. Every candidate is personally vetted before being offered a seat. If you have a specific conflict concern, raise it privately before signing and it will be handled confidentially.
The Council is designed for busy people. It is online for efficiency. Members meet for three hours, once a month. There is no required preparation beyond reflecting on your previous month and identifying any challenges you want the group to work through. What you do beyond that is entirely up to you. Members who read, implement, and engage with other members between sessions get more out of membership.
We can’t speak to the quality of other programs. If your previous experience has left you skeptical of the format entirely, we are probably not a match. If you are on the fence, download the prospectus. You can decide for yourself.
No. We maintain a strict no-compete policy. Members derive significant value from a room with distinct areas of expertise, each directly relevant to operating their business.
Membership in the council is a small investment that pays for itself multiple times over. The investment is detailed in the Member Prospectus. Request it here.
We understand things happen. The Member Prospectus states our attendance policy. Members may miss no more than two sessions every six months or they forfeit their seat. This standard exists to ensure only committed professionals are in the room.
What you get from this council is directly proportional to what you put in. The group provides peer scrutiny, candid challenge, and accumulated experience. What you do with it is entirely up to you. If you are looking for someone to hand you outcomes, a consultant or coach is a better fit.
The High Value Advisor Cohort recently sold out. We are setting the dates for the next cohort and those on the waiting list will be notified in advance once new dates are set. In the event of a cancellation for the current cohort, we will reach out in order of sign-up. We apologize for any inconvenience.
