The Mirror Series

Four instruments. One accurate reflection.

They map how you actually operate, not how you'd describe yourself operating.

What the mirror shows

Choose a word you'd use for yourself.

You already knew the word. The shadow is the one that costs you, and the one nobody tells you.

Four instruments do this properly ↓

The instruments

Built for a single job.

Showing you, precisely, so practice has somewhere exact to aim.

  1. How you fight.

    Nº 01

    The Conflict Map

    24 items

    Heat (measured to direct) against focus (relationship to outcome). Five styles: Challenger, Advocate, Strategist, Stabilizer, Situationalist. A conflict-styles assessment, not a verdict on your character.

  2. What charges you.

    Nº 02

    The Current

    24 items

    Problems, people and systems, each initiated or sustained. Six modes: Diagnostician, Refiner, Catalyst, Steward, Architect, Operator. Your top two are the current, your bottom two the drag. Energy, not ability.

  3. What you transmit.

    Nº 03

    The Signal

    24 items

    Four channels: reception, regulation, reading, response. The gaps between them matter more than the levels.

  4. What pulls against your intention.

    Nº 04

    The Undertow

    28 items

    Seven interference patterns between what you intend and what you do. The one that pulls hardest is rarely the one you'd guess.

Nº 01 · The Conflict Map · One real item of twenty-four

If something about a situation is bothering me, I'd rather name it out loud than manage it quietly.

All four are in the Self-Guided Edition ↓

Every strength, paired with its shadow.

Not the flattering kind of reflection. The kind you can act on. An original instrument set, wholly owned, and it does not ask your birthday.

Editions

Self first. Then the room.

  1. Nº 01

    The Self-Guided Edition

    $39

    You hold the mirror.

    Comes with
    What Happens Now and Reading the Mirror.
    Then what
    Bring your results to the free call and you're a session ahead.
  2. Nº 02

    The Witness Edition

    With the Launchpad or the cycles

    The people who work with you hold it.

    The same instruments, answered about you by leaders, teammates, peers and direct reports, item for item. Then The Room, where their answers meet yours.

    How
    One link. Each witness answers in one sitting. You receive one report by rater group.
    When
    After your debrief, and again as the cycles widen.
    Included in
    The Launchpad. Self-guided readers ask on the call.
  3. Nº 03

    The Leadership Mirror

    Inside the Sprint

    We read it together.

    The written synthesis: all four read against each other, by me, with you. Not a type. A precise account of how you operate under load, and the single edge worth working first.

    Inside
    The Self-Awareness Sprint and the Launchpad.

Where the reflection goes

Insight is the aim, not the change.

Used well, a reflection tells practice exactly where to aim. Both starting packages begin with the Mirror Series and turn what it shows into one behavior you practice in your real week.

  1. Nº 01

    The Self-Awareness Sprint

    $147

    Clarity, and a place to start.

    The Mirror Series, synthesized into your Leadership Mirror, then a thirty-day plan around your single highest-leverage edge.

    Shape
    Two sessions over six weeks: an integration debrief, then an action plan.
    Between
    Async support, and Elio from day one.
  2. Nº 02

    The Self-Mastery Launchpad

    $347

    The reflection, then the practice.

    Your first five cycles with the Mirror Series, the Leadership Mirror and a kick-off built in, and a written summary at the end.

    Shape
    A thirty-minute kick-off, then six sessions, one every two weeks across the five cycles.
    After
    You enter the ladder at cycle six. Three more cycles to graduation.

For teams · The room

Everyone can see it. Nobody will name it.

The decision that gets quietly remade every month. The person everyone routes around.

Each person knows how the team feels to them. Nobody holds the map. This builds the map, then turns it into practice.

Before

Each person completes the four instruments privately. Every synthesis is AI-assisted and personally reviewed: read and edited by me before it reaches anyone. Then the team map.

In the room

Three to four hours, facilitated. Each person meets their own mirror privately first. Then the team meets the map.

After

A Sprint Cycle leadership guide, so the map turns into practice.

The team map

From $1,150

Three people, $1,150. Six, $1,900. Larger groups split by who works most closely. Founding-team rate for now.

Who sees what

Each person
Their own results. They never go to a manager, a sponsor or HR.
The organization
The team map. Patterns, not names.
Me
Individual results, because synthesis requires it. They stay with me.

If your team is small enough that a pattern would point to one person, I'll say so before anyone commits.

The test

Did decision rights move, or only the conversation?

Participation theater is what it looks like when they didn't: the offsite happened, everyone was heard, and the decision got made where it always gets made.

Participation Theater in the Workplace, the essay →

Talks: the knowing-doing gap and participation theater. The latest, Crossing the Knowing-Doing Gap, is at UC's Lindner Hall on November 14.
