“I want to change one part of my life, and I’d rather work it out one to one.”
Then choose your first move toward it with James, live it in your own week, and read what it showed together.
Private Realignment runs across eight weeks: six sessions on Zoom, sixty minutes each, booked around your calendar. Your core values, the few you choose to decide by, are the filter for your move, and you finish with a Realignment Plan in your own words.
A man at this point often has more than one thing he’d like to be living sooner. The hard part is choosing which one goes first, and giving it a real place in the week he has.
For eight weeks it’s you, James and your own pages. Each session is booked with James, and each one starts from what you’ve written since the last.
The years when you have the health and the energy for what you want are the ones to spend on it.
If the move needs space your week doesn’t have, we use The Subtraction Method® to find it: one commitment cut back, handed over or renegotiated.
The life you want two years from now, where your life stands today, and the distance between the two. How the eight weeks will run for you.
Where your time and energy actually go across meaning, time, freedom, vitality and connection, and the core values you’ll choose your move by.
One real example from your own week, the pattern that keeps repeating, and where the space for a move can come from.
The possible first moves, weighed against your core values, the pattern and the space.
One move agreed, and its fourteen-day test designed. The test starts that night or the next day.
Two separate questions: did you do what you agreed, and does the evidence say the change is worth keeping? Then you finish your Realignment Plan with James, with your next step and its date.
Your core values are the filter all the way through: a move worth testing serves at least one of them and costs none.
You bring the pages the session asks for. James asks questions, checks he’s understood you, and says plainly what he sees. If the move you came in with isn’t the one the evidence points to first, you’ll hear that from him, and the choice stays with you.
Between sessions you write, and you live your week. The sessions are where you and James read what you wrote and what happened. At Synthesis you agree one move and how you’ll test it; at Activation you read the test together and decide what comes next.
What you share stays between you and James, within the limits set out in the Terms.
I spent nearly 25 years as a U.S. military officer and helicopter pilot, ten of them as an instructor and evaluator, before I began redesigning my own life.
I built Private Realignment for the man who wants to do this work one to one, at a pace set around his own calendar.
For eight weeks I’m reading your pages and your week with you, not handing you a plan. I’ll tell you what I see. The move you choose, and the life you build on it, stay yours.
Paid in full.
Enrollment begins with a 30-Minute Fit Call. When you’ve both agreed it fits, James sends you the enrollment link.
James works privately with a small number of men at a time.
The 72-Hour Cooling-Off Window. If you decide Private Realignment isn’t the right fit, request a refund by email within 72 hours of purchase. If Session 1 takes place sooner, the window closes then. The refund is the amount paid less the card-processing fee (about three percent), which the payment processor does not return to us. After that, the engagement is non-refundable.
The Show-Up Guarantee. This is a service commitment, not a money-back guarantee. Attend the six sessions, complete the workbook pages each session asks for before it (including the test’s daily log and your Evidence Audit before Session 6), take part fully, and ask by email within seven calendar days after Session 6. If you believe the engagement didn’t provide meaningful clarity and a practical first move, you receive one additional 60-minute private session at no cost, or comparable support such as written feedback where James judges it would serve you better. It is a one-time extension, not a refund, and it does not guarantee a specific outcome. Full terms.
Precision Realignment is seven live sessions with James and a small group of men at your stage, then a private session to finish your Realignment Plan.
Some men want to hear other men work through the same questions. If that’s you, see the small-group program.
You leave with your core values, the move you tested and your Realignment Plan, enough to keep building on your own.
If the eight weeks show you want something wider, your pages and your Plan become the starting point for Authorship by Design™: twelve private sessions across sixteen weeks on the whole next chapter.
Every time, you make a decision and take the first step.
Which part of the life you want would you choose to start first?
Thirty minutes with James: what you’d like to work on, how the eight weeks would run for you, and anything you want to ask him. If you both agree it fits, James sends you the enrollment link.
No. Authority Foundations is where you choose the core values that get the final say over your next two years, and start making decisions by them. It’s in your library as a tool. If you’ve already worked through it, bring your pages, and the sessions start from them.
Your program area opens with your program map and your first page. You book your six sessions with James, one at a time or all at once, with Session 1 on your fourth day or later. Before it you write that one page: the life you want two years from now. Ten minutes, and it doesn’t need to be polished. Your workbook and the session modules open on your fourth day.
Six sixty-minute sessions across eight weeks. Before each, the workbook pages it asks for. During the fourteen-day test, a few lines a day in the log, and your Evidence Audit before Activation.
Bring what you’d most like to be living sooner. In the first three sessions you and James look closely at your life as it is, and at Discovery you weigh the possible moves together.
No. The two of you weigh the possibilities at Discovery and agree one at Synthesis. The Plan you finish at Activation is yours, in your own words.
Then it’s still evidence, and it gets read at Activation like any other result. A partial test can point to a smaller change, a different approach, or what you need to understand next.
Private Realignment is eight weeks on your first move. Authorship by Design is sixteen weeks designing the whole next chapter, by application. If you’re unsure which fits, ask James on the Fit Call; he’ll tell you plainly, including if neither does yet.
By email, within 72 hours of purchase. If Session 1 takes place sooner, the window closes then. The refund is the amount paid less the card-processing fee, about three percent, which the payment processor does not return to us. After that the engagement is non-refundable, and the Show-Up Guarantee is the commitment instead. Full terms are in the Refund Policy.
No. This is one-to-one coaching to help you choose and make a change in your life. It is not clinical care.
