One Session

The Capacity Brief

The First Cut

Ninety minutes on what you are actually carrying, and a written Brief naming what comes off first. Built with you in the room, not mailed to you afterward.

Ask for a Capacity Brief

Your load did not arrive all at once. It arrived one yes at a time, each one small enough to agree to, and not one of them ever came back up for review.

Nobody is coming to reduce it. Standing commitments have no expiry date, so they accumulate, and the total never gets looked at.

How it works

The Ledger comes first, and I read it before we meet.

Step 1 · Before we meet

The Load Ledger

Six pages. Every standing commitment, what it costs you door to door, and one question about each: would you say yes to it today? You fill it in. I read it before we meet.

Step 2 · Ninety minutes

We build the Brief

I arrive with what I already see in your Ledger. We test it against the lines you would not agree to today, finish it together, and name the First Cut with you in the room.

Step 3 · The same day

You already have it

The written Capacity Brief follows as the record of what we settled. One page, yours to keep.

What the Brief tells you

Not your worksheet handed back.

You already know what is on your calendar. What you cannot see from inside it is the shape.

  • Your total weekly load, and the share of it you would not choose again.
  • Whether this is a load problem or a saying-yes problem. They look identical from the inside and they need different first moves.
  • What is genuinely available to put down. Usually less than the total, and the honest number is the useful one.
  • The First Cut. One commitment to remove before any other, what it gives back, and the words to do it.
  • The kind of ask you say yes to. Not a personality verdict. What your own ledger shows.
  • One thing to do in the next seven days. One, not a list.
Who runs it

I have carried the load you are carrying.

Eighteen years in Hollywood post production, Vice President and General Manager of a facility with a staff of 86. Then a deliberate exit, a move to Phoenix, and a second business built from nothing.

Parents and children needed care at the same time. The Tactical Capacity Model is what I built to get out of it, in the order it actually has to happen.

This is not therapy and it is not medical care. If what surfaces belongs with a licensed professional, I will say so plainly and point you toward one. You keep the Brief either way.

What it costs

Ninety minutes, and a written Brief the same day.

$797. It is finished work, not a deposit, and it does not come off the price of the program.

I read and respond to every message personally.
