The Ugly Truth

Your Last Off-Site Was a $20,000 Vacation Disguised as Work

Let's be honest: Modern corporate training is performative theater. Teams go to conferences, collect business cards, take selfies with keynote speakers, and return to the office having changed absolutely nothing. The real problems? Still festering in Slack DMs.

The Conference Fantasy

You spent $15k sending your team to a conference where they learned 'synergy' is still a word people use unironically.

The Awkward Silence Problem

Everyone knows the VP's strategy is broken, but no one will say it because the last person who did is now 'exploring other opportunities.'

The Expensive Avoidance

Your team-building retreat in Sedona cost $50k and the only thing that changed was everyone's Instagram aesthetic.

The Keynote Delusion

That motivational speaker charged $30k to tell your team to 'be bold' while your actual product problems went undiscussed.

💡 Fun Fact: The average Series B startup has 4.2 'elephant in the room' issues that everyone knows about but no one will discuss in a meeting.(We made this stat up, but you know it's true.)

The Friction Methodology

Two Experts. One Room. Zero Bullshit.

We deploy a tactical duo to your turf: a Subject Matter Expert who's actually done the thing you're struggling with, paired with a Discussion Navigator whose job is to make sure no one hides behind corporate speak.

The Brain (SME)

A practitioner who's been in the trenches. Like a VP of Sales who took a company from $10M to $100M ARR. Not a consultant who read about it in HBR.

  • Vetted through 'Mock Conflict' scenarios
  • Must have actual battle scars, not just LinkedIn posts
  • Trained to poke the bear, not lecture at it

The Enforcer (DN)

A facilitator trained in controlled friction. Their job is to prevent groupthink, call out corporate jargon, and ensure silence is not an option.

  • Authorized to deploy the Water Spritzer
  • Will interrupt 'Sage on a Stage' behavior
  • Makes uncomfortable silences... productive

The Session Flow

01

Discovery Call

We identify the elephant in your room (usually multiple elephants)

02

The Intervention

4-hour session where silence isn't an option and 'it's fine' is banned

03

Actionable Roadmap

Not a 50-page deck. Actual commitments with names attached.

04

Follow-up Audit

We check if you actually did the thing, or just said you would

The Brains

Practitioners, Not PowerPoint Jockeys

Our SMEs have actually done the thing you're struggling with. They've made the mistakes, cleaned up the messes, and have the therapy bills to prove it. No career consultants allowed.

Vetting process: Every SME goes through'Mock Conflict' scenarios where we deliberately push back on their ideas. If they get defensive, they're out. We only work with people who can take what they dish out.

Real Results, Real Awkwardness

What Happens After We Leave

Our clients asked us not to use their real company names. We asked them why. It got uncomfortable. Here are their stories anyway.

"Our CTO finally admitted he had no idea what our product actually did. Turns out, neither did anyone else. We pivoted in 48 hours and doubled revenue."

Sarah Chen

CEO, Stealth Startup

2x revenue in 90 days

After The Pivot session

"I thought our team was 'aligned.' Room 301 showed us we were aligned like a car with four flat tires. Painful? Yes. Necessary? Absolutely."

Marcus Williams

Founder, Series B Fintech

Avoided a $3M mistake

The Enforcer called it out

"They made our VP of Engineering cry. Then they made our VP of Sales cry. Then somehow everyone was hugging. I still don't fully understand what happened."

Jennifer Park

COO, Enterprise SaaS

Team retention up 40%

Mock Conflict protocol

"The Brain asked one question that made three years of therapy feel like a waste of money. For my company, I mean. My personal therapy is going great."
