🔹 Second Opinions

---

For more than four decades, I’ve helped organizations make sense of complex decisions — from marketing investments and growth plans to government programs, partnerships, and major purchases.

Sometimes what’s needed isn’t another agency or consultant.

It’s an experienced, independent second set of eyes.

I step in when leaders want to slow things down, ask better questions, and make sure the next move is a smart one.

This isn’t theory. It’s practical, confidential, and focused on clarity.

• Reviewing marketing or expansion plans before money is committed
• Assessing agency proposals, vendor quotes, or media strategies
• Evaluating government or municipal opportunities
• Sanity-checking new initiatives, partnerships, or capital spends
• Helping boards or owners sort through competing options
• Creating a short list of priorities and next steps

You stay in control.
I bring perspective, pattern recognition, and plain-spoken advice.

I typically work with:

• small-business owners facing important decisions
• organizations preparing bids or proposals
• nonprofits navigating funding or growth
• leaders considering major investments
• teams needing an experienced outside voice

If you’re asking, “Is this the right move?” — this service is for you.

Simple and flexible:

• a paid initial review and conversation
• documents shared in advance, if helpful
• a focused session to talk through options
• clear recommendations and priorities
• optional follow-on support if you’d like help executing

No long retainers.
No pressure.
Just experienced perspective when it matters most.

• independent, not tied to vendors or agencies
• decades of hands-on business experience
• background in public-sector programs and procurement
• former entrepreneur and company builder
• straight talk, no jargon

If you’re facing an important decision and want a calm, experienced second opinion before moving forward, I’m happy to have a conversation.
