Passing It Along
Carry This Forward
Judgment built over years in the seat is the thing this work runs on. Imagine That Performance delivers its coaching, interim management and facilitation through practitioners who have it, matched to each engagement.
The Vision
The Shift That Sticks was designed to be passed along.
Some leaders who learn the method want to deliver it as well: facilitate a Think Tank, coach an executive through a shift, bring Set the Direction to an organization that is ready for it. Most managers hold the seat for a few years, so what comes next is a question the seat itself asks.
Imagine That Performance is building a bench of such practitioners for that. The client engages Imagine That Performance; Imagine That Performance matches the practitioner; the practitioner delivers as an independent contractor.
The Path
Step 1
Learn the Methodology
Read the four practices, on this site now and in the book when it comes, deeply enough to explain them to a peer.
Step 2
Experience the Practice
Sit in on a Think Tank, then join one. The facilitation is the method in action, and a member’s own shift is the first thing the work produces.
Step 3
Send a note
When delivering is the next step, send a note below. Rob reads every note himself and replies with what is coming up and whether the experience fits it.
Step 4
Deliver with Support
A matched practitioner delivers under an Imagine That Performance engagement, as an independent contractor, with the materials and the method behind them. Imagine That Performance holds the client relationship and the terms.
Step 5
Mentor Others
In time, experienced practitioners bring on the next ones. The method spreads through a bench of aligned leaders rather than through one calendar.
Who This Is For
- Current or former local government leaders with time in the seat
- Consultants already serving local government who want methodology depth
- Leaders who have been through a Think Tank and want to facilitate one
- Anyone committed to environmental framing, dignity preservation, and completion-oriented transformation
Who This Is Not For
- Someone looking for employment: the work is contracted, engagement by engagement
- Someone who needs a credential before starting: the practice comes first
- Someone who would rather hold the method than pass it along
Where this stands today
Imagine That Performance is building that bench now, one engagement at a time. What exists today is the practitioners and the engagements they serve; a cohort, a certification and a published fee do not exist yet. This page collects interest: each note goes to Rob, who reads it and replies himself, and when an engagement calls for that experience, that note is where he looks first.
If this resonates, send a note below. Rob replies to each one, and everyone who writes hears first when an engagement has a place to fill.
Send it to Rob. A note is enough to start. Name the seat held, the years in it, and what makes delivering the work the next step.
