Private Advisory · By application
For the decisions only you can make.
A confidential advisory partnership for CEOs, founders and senior executives. Colby works alongside you on the calls that shape your company, so you decide with clarity and lead with conviction.
The most important calls in a company rarely come with complete data. Private Advisory gives you a trusted, discreet partner for exactly those moments.
Six- and twelve-month engagements · A limited number of clients each year
The engagement
What Private Advisory includes
Private intake
A decision-style assessment and confidential interviews with the people around you, so you see how your judgment and presence land with others.
Your Decision Blueprint
A personal written profile of when your instinct is sharpest, what clouds it and the checks that keep your biggest calls clear.
Decision sessions
Private sessions built around the real calls on your desk: acquisitions, key hires, partnerships, restructures and new directions.
In the room with you
Colby joins a board meeting, leadership offsite or key negotiation, then shares a private debrief on what she read in the room.
Pre-decision reviews
Before a major move, a focused review of how it could unfold a year from now, so you commit with clear eyes and full confidence.
Key people decisions
A trusted second read on the people who matter most: senior hires, successors, partners and the leaders you’re counting on.
Boardroom and investor preparation
Reading the room, anticipating the questions behind the questions and holding steady presence when the stakes are highest.
Your decision journal
A simple practice for tracking your instincts and outcomes, so over time you know exactly when to trust your read.

Discretion is the foundation.
Every conversation is confidential, and a formal agreement is available on request. Colby takes on a limited number of private clients each year so each one receives her full attention. Engagements are tailored, and investment is shared privately after your first conversation.
