Most firms in this space won’t name a number until they’ve qualified you. Here’s the whole ladder, in the open — from a free 15-minute call to a 12-month partnership. And one principle that changes the math: every paid step credits 50% toward the next, so starting small is never wasted spend.

The Team LFS.

An Immersion or a Retreat.
From $35KFor a single engineered day, an Executive Immersion (from $35K). For a multi-day, fully off-site experience, a Leadership Retreat ($25K–$500K+, in three tiers).
A Discipline Sprint.
$45K–$65KA focused 90-day Discipline Sprint rebuilds the single discipline the diagnostic found broken — the fastest path from one clear problem to changed behavior.
The Performance Partnership.
From $75KThe 12-month Performance Partnership installs the operating system and stays accountable to a measured outcome — success fees only when documented value confirms a 10× return. Your direct risk is the base fee.
Ranges reflect group size, destination, duration, and how much diagnosis and follow-through is built in. Every paid step credits 50% toward the next.

From $75K base
Read the brief →The 10× guarantee
On the Performance Partnership, we baseline three metrics you already track — co-signed by your CEO and CFO — and measure quarterly against them. Success fees are earned only when documented value confirms a 10× return on total investment. If the ratio isn’t there, no success fee is invoiced against it. Your maximum financial risk is the base fee. The upside is not capped.
Because you shouldn’t pay twice to go deeper. Every paid step credits 50% toward whatever you do next — so starting small is never a wasted spend, it’s a down payment on the fuller engagement if you choose it.
Because you’re not buying an event or a person’s hours — you’re buying a diagnosed, engineered change in how your team executes, reinforced and measured. A one-day facilitator is cheaper per day and more expensive per outcome. Judge the cost against the cost of the problem, which for most companies is several percent of revenue a year.
On the Performance Partnership, success fees are earned only when documented value confirms a 10× return on metrics your CEO and CFO baseline and co-sign. If the ratio isn’t there, no success fee is invoiced against it — your maximum financial risk is the base fee.
Real numbers, above — from a free call to a $75K-base partnership with tiers to $1.1M by company size. The only thing that lives in the proposal is the exact configuration for your team.
Fifteen minutes with James, and you’ll leave knowing your team’s first break point and roughly what fixing it costs — whether or not we work together.
