In 90 minutes, I'll help you see the real problem, name the downside, and choose the next decision you can live with — using the decision discipline I learned in fast jets and later tested running large-scale operations.
Pay first. Calendar booking and pre-session questionnaire come next.
Therapy. Long-term coaching. Generic life advice. If what you need is someone only to listen, this isn't that. This is a paid diagnostic with a clear output.
Each one specific and same-day actionable.
The presenting problem is rarely the actual problem. By the end of the session, you'll know which one you're really solving.
Specific. Mentally simulable. A version of the future you can actually move toward.
Not the whole unknowable path. The next decision the current picture can support — something you can act on this week without betting everything on a future you cannot see.
Vague fear is paralysing. Named fear is decidable. You'll know whether the worst realistic outcome is something you can live with, or whether you need to choose differently.
Your situation, the next decision, the conditions for changing course, all in one document you can refer back to and share with people you trust.
The framework matters. But what you are really buying is the diagnostic: the pattern recognition to see what you are inside, the outside position to say it cleanly, and the decision discipline to turn it into something you can act on.
Mark had a job offer in Canada. Bigger role. A move the family had been working toward for years.
The block was the kids' schooling. He didn't want them finishing their education in the UAE. But moving mid-year felt brutal.
Spreadsheets. Conversations. Imagined futures. He'd been stuck for weeks.
The thing that broke it open: naming the worst case of moving versus the worst case of staying.
The risk he'd been staring at, moving the kids mid-year, turned out to be far smaller than the fear around it. Kids adapt. Schools handle it. Hard for a term, then it isn't.
The risk of staying, holding the kids in a system he didn't believe in for another year and a half, was bigger and quieter. He'd been weighing a vivid short-term pain against an invisible long-term one.
Once we put them side by side, the call was obvious.
Mark took the job. 5 years on, the family's in Canada and the kids are settled.
The most common reason people don't book. Not price. Not time.
You've turned it over a hundred times. Talked to friends, family, mentors. Run the scenarios. None of it has moved.
What's in the way is the version of yourself you're protecting. The cost you haven't been willing to name. The role you've quietly accepted. The thing you already know but haven't given yourself permission to say out loud.
The people closest to you can probably see it. They won't tell you. They want something, or report to you, or depend on you, or they're too close to the cost of being honest.
I'm outside that. Structurally. No politics, no agenda, no relationship to protect. 28 years of cockpit decisions and senior corporate operations means I've seen the shape of these situations dozens of times. I recognise what you're doing without you having to explain it. And I have nothing to gain by softening it.
There's a method under the diagnostic, and it's a good one. But you already know what a framework can do. What I add on top is the pattern recognition to see what you're inside — and the nerve to say so.
"OK so I need to get to work."
A senior exec, 9 months stuck on the same call. Last thing he said before we hung up.
Fast jets. Large-scale operations. Decisions where the cost of being wrong was real.
I flew fast jets for the Royal Air Force for 16 years. Squadron Leader. Operational missions over Iraq. A US Marine Corps exchange tour, flying the F/A-18 as an instructor and department head.
After that, 12 years running large operations across the UAE. COO of a tourism business across 17 countries. Divisional VP at dnata, the ground handling business at Dubai Airport. 10,000 staff. $250M budget. I ran the airport through the early days of COVID as Silver Commander. I teach decision-making at Hult International Business School on the MBA programme.
Different decisions, different stakes. The mechanics are the same.
Reasoning trained where the cost of getting it wrong was measured in lives or millions. An understanding of cognitive bias, of statistics and probability, of the difference between a fear and a forecast.
I teach this method now because it works. It worked at 500 knots. It worked when COVID hit Dubai Airport. The mechanics are the same on the decision you're sitting on right now.
You'll get a calendar booking link and a short pre-session questionnaire. The questionnaire takes about 10 minutes and gives me what I need to make the 90 minutes count from the first second.
You don't need to. The questionnaire prompts what I need. If you can't answer something cleanly, write it messy. That's often more useful than a polished version.
Yes. Nothing you tell me leaves the call. I don't take notes that get shared, I don't talk about clients by name, and the written plan I send after is for you alone.
For most people it is. For some situations it isn't, and we'll know by the end of the call. If you need more than one session, we'll talk about what that looks like at the end. No pressure either way.
Yes. The session is on video. Time zones are easy to work around. I work with people across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.
If you complete the session and feel it didn't deliver value, tell me within 7 days and I'll refund you in full. I've never had to. That's the bar.
Get Clear is one expression of the Wingman Executive decision discipline: elite decision-making, rebuilt for real life.
In 90 minutes, we'll identify the real problem, name the downside, choose the next decision, and turn it into a written plan you can act on.
