The Shift That Sticks book cover

A Book That Finishes What It Starts

We believe practitioners already have the wisdom they need. This book provides the language and structure to access it, then pass it along.

Everything required to see clearly, align with what matters, build systems that hold, and sustain the change. A complete methodology, designed so the reader owns it entirely. Not a book you finish and forget. A foundation you return to whenever conditions shift again.

Where This Came From

A pattern kept emerging. Across geography, organization size, and leader tenure, in the most demanding leadership environment in public service, where every decision is public and trust is never assumed, the same practices showed up in leaders who sustained alignment under pressure.

We didn’t invent a methodology. We observed what effective leaders were already doing, named the patterns, and connected them to the research that explains why they work. Many practitioners are already doing this work. They just lack the vocabulary for it.

The Same Pattern, Every Time

250+ confidential sessions in Think Tanks since 2020, plus leadership team workshops and strategic engagements. Different leaders, different contexts. The practices that sustain alignment were remarkably consistent.

Connected to Research

Grounded in research from Simon Sinek, Amy Edmondson, Arthur Brooks, James Clear, and organizational studies from Harvard Business Review, Gallup, and the World Happiness Report.

Four Practices

Each includes diagnostic tools and everything needed to teach it to others.

Face the Truth

Seeing clearly before acting. Every leader has blind spots, not from failure, but from position itself.

Define What Matters

Clarifying values under pressure. What we’ll actually protect when protecting it is costly.

Make It Real

Building systems that execute. Making priorities automatic, not dependent on willpower.

Reinforce the Change

Sustaining momentum. Detecting drift. Building rhythms that prevent quiet decay.
