Signature Engagement Formats
True North engagements are designed around the reality that clarity, growth, and execution don’t happen on a fixed schedule. We offer several ways to work together, depending on the moment and mandate.
Full-Time Opportunities
In select cases, True North explores deeply integrated roles within organizations.
These opportunities are considered when:
- The mission aligns strongly with our core values
- The challenge requires sustained leadership or build-out
- Long-term impact factors outweighs short-term consulting
Embedded, Advisory & Consultative Services
This includes interim, fractional, retainer, short-term consultative strategic roles where trust, alignment, and shared direction are essential.
Clarity, Direction, and Execution—When It Actually Matters
Life is about the ride, the experience, and results that endure—not the things, the noise, or the excuses.
True North works with founders, leaders, and ambitious builders—including teams of one—who are navigating growth, transition, or uncertainty. Our work sits where clarity is required before commitment, and where execution needs to align with values.
We don’t sell templates. We bring perspective, structure, and momentum.
How We Work With Clients
1. Strategic Clarity & Direction
When momentum exists but direction doesn’t.
- Vision and decision clarity at inflection points
- Market, client, and property fit analysis
- Strategic planning grounded in data and lived experience
- Go-to-market and growth strategy development
This work helps teams slow down just enough to move forward with conviction.
2. Business, Growth & Go-To-Market Advisory
When building, scaling, or recalibrating.
- Biz dev & rev operations
- Lean startup building and scaling
- Capitalization structure and growth modeling
- Sponsorship and partnership strategy
- SportsTech and MarTech advisory
- Product, pricing, and market positioning
Our team has operated inside early-stage startups, established organizations, and category-creating businesses.
3. Leadership, Management & Performance
When people are the constraint—or the opportunity.
- Leadership and management consulting
- Championship-level sales and customer experience training
- Team structure, process, and accountability systems
- Mentorship in leadership, business development, and execution
Performance is sustainable only when people and systems align.
4. Personal Brand, Career & Professional Development
When identity, opportunity, and direction intersect.
- Personal and professional positioning
- Career direction mapping and guided networking
- Talent scouting, development, and opportunity alignment
- Long-term mentorship for high-potential professionals
Clarity here compounds across roles, teams, and decades.
5. Innovation, Digital & Emerging Platforms
When experimentation needs transformation.
- AI, blockchain, finance, and cryptocurrency strategy (practical, not hype-driven)
- Digital, social, and community-led campaigns
- Data research, insight development, and strategic modeling
- Process automation, operational efficiency and productivity stack building
We help teams explore what’s next without losing focus on what matters now.
6. Perspective, Experience & Non-Traditional Paths
When growth requires stepping outside the system.
- Adventure travel and remote-work development
- Experiential learning and lifestyle design
- Creative, content and campaign ideation and execution
Not every meaningful outcome fits neatly on a spreadsheet.
Our Network & Approach
True North is not a large firm—and it isn’t meant to be.
We operate through a trusted network of operators, strategists, creatives, technologists, and advisors who have been in the work, not just around it. This allows us to assemble the right team for the challenge at hand—without overhead, noise, or unnecessary complexity.
Our approach is:
- Founder-led, team-supported
- Grounded in real-world experience
- Honest, discreet, and values-driven
- Flexible by design, intentional by default
We believe the best work happens when ego is low, clarity is high, and incentives are aligned.
A Simple Next Step
Not every conversation needs to turn into an engagement.
Sometimes the most valuable step is simply comparing notes, pressure-testing an idea, or clarifying what matters most before moving forward.
If you’re navigating a decision, building something new, or reconsidering direction, we’re open to a conversation.
Reach out when it feels useful.
We’ll take it from there.
True North is built for people navigating real decisions — not looking for templates or transactions.
We begin with a conversation, not a pitch.
If there’s alignment, we shape the work around what’s actually needed — whether that’s a short clarity sprint, an advisory partnership, a defined project, or deeper embedded support.
There’s no fixed package model. No forced process.
Just honest dialogue, shared direction, and intentional action.
If the work makes sense, we’ll move forward.
If it doesn’t, we’ll say so — and mean it.
Reach out when it feels useful.
