21-Day Default to Design Reboot
I developed the 21-Day Default to Design Reboot™ — a neuroscience-based leadership operating system that equips individuals and teams with the behavioral structure, execution rhythm, and modern tools required for consistent performance at scale.
Built on my D³ Method™ (Diagnose, Design, Deploy), the experience integrates a proprietary AI-enabled coaching environment — providing real-time guidance, reinforcing strategic behaviors, and supporting leaders in translating insight into disciplined action.
More than a development program, it establishes standardized success infrastructure — enabling organizations to replicate performance, accelerate leadership maturity, and sustain high-performing cultures as they grow.
Particularly effective within high-growth, distributed sales organizations.
