I work with business and nonprofit leaders to diagnose friction, align their teams, and engineer structures that actually work — not just look good on paper.
Why Systems Break
(and How I Fix Them)
Most leaders don’t fail because of bad strategy — they fail because their systems can’t sustain their vision.
I’ve spent over 30 years designing, breaking, and rebuilding systems in megachurches, nonprofits, and startups and I've seen the same pattern:Â
Clarity leaks. Ownership blurs. Momentum dies.
That’s why I built The S.A.G.E. Method™ — a proven framework to diagnose friction, align tension, and engineer traction that lasts.That’s why I created The S.A.G.E. Method™ — a proven process to see the system clearly, align through tension, generate momentum, and embed lasting change.
