Dennis Berry Coaching

In 2000, I was a sales leader at Sysco Denver and noticed that my Regional Sales Managers had nice big offices and pictures of fishing and beaches on their wall.


▪️ I was making about $80k working 60 hours
▪️ They made $200k working only 30 hours
▪️ And, Sysco was a $30B company


I realized then that I if I was going to put in the blood, sweat and tears, I wanted beach pictures and to make more of the $30B.

So, my entrepreneurial adventures began.


Over the last 24 years I have been part of many business ventures including building and scaling 2 multimillion dollar businesses.


One was a rare coin and precious metals business which I scaled from $0 to $3M in ARR with 25% net profit margins in less than 18 months.


The second is my current coaching business which has taken many twists and turns over the last 20 years.


I started as an addiction recovery coach in coffee shops and shared office spaces, and has since evolved to a multi-revenue-stream operation.


In 2022, I realized that Linkedin is more than just a posting or job site so I did A LOT of research and decided to go all in on building my personal brand and audience here on this platform.


▪️ In February, 2023 I had 1500 followers
▪️ In April, 2024 I have 115,000 followers
▪️ I have over 100k newsletter subscribers
▪️ I run multiple business network groups
▪️ I live on the beach in Playa Del Carmen
▪️ I own a marketing/web dev. company
▪️ I increased my revenue by over 500%
▪️ I offer Linkedin Influencer coaching
▪️ I build Epic Brands and Businesses
▪️ I have a Business SKOOL group

If you're interested in learning how I did this, we can set up a call to see if 1-1 OR group coaching is a good fit for you to build/scale a stable profitable online business.

After building a $3M business the hard way (think 16-hour days and endless stress), I learned success shouldn't cost your soul. 

My journey started rough: a former ski racer turned chef, battling addiction by 15, and spending 15 years using substances to mask deeper struggles.

Getting sober led me to "safety" - a corporate job at Sysco making $80K. 

But trading 60-hour weeks for someone else's dream wasn't freedom. 

I built up the courage to quit and launched a rare coin business, scaling it to $3M in annual revenue with 25% profit margins in just 18 months. 

The money was good, but the cost was crushing.

16-hour days, constant stress, and fear about where the next lead would come from.

The wake-up call? 

Rolling my truck at 75mph after a night of heavy drinking. 

I survived, barely. 

That's when I knew something had to change.

Enter LinkedIn. 

While others chased leads through cold calls and expensive ads, I discovered what elite entrepreneurs already knew.

Personal branding is the ultimate client magnet. 

I transformed my approach, and everything shifted.

Within a year, I built a 150,000+ following and a 7-figure coaching business - all through organic LinkedIn growth. 

Now I work 4-hour days from Playa del Carmen, with a steady stream of inbound leads.

But here's what really lights me up: I've helped hundreds of others achieve the same transformation. 

The truth? LinkedIn isn't just a platform - it's a path to the freedom you've been chasing. 

If it could transform my life from rock bottom to abundance, imagine what it could do for you.

Love always,
D.

99% of people want the results.

1% are willing to do the work. 🔥 

Everyone talks about becoming the best in their industry.
 
Very few actually show up long enough to earn it.

Most people chase shortcuts.
 - They jump from strategy to strategy.
 - They quit when it gets slow.
 - They disappear when it stops feeling exciting.

But here’s the truth: 👇 
The 1% are not more talented.
They are simply more consistent.

These 5 habits separate contenders from pretenders:

1/ Show Up Every Day
 ↳ Even when you’re tired
 ↳ Even when it’s boring
 ↳ Success is boring before it becomes rewarding

2/ Stay Resilient When It Gets Hard
 ↳ Setbacks are not signs to stop
 ↳ They’re invitations to level up

3/ Be Relentlessly Persistent
 ↳ Keep going long after others tap out
 ↳ Momentum is built one ordinary day at a time

4/ Do What Others Avoid
 ↳ Hard conversations
 ↳ Hard decisions
 ↳ Hard responsibilities
 ↳ Master the tough stuff and you separate fast

5/ Keep Your Eyes on the Long Game
 ↳ No shortcuts
 ↳ No hacks
 ↳ Just disciplined reps that compound over years

If you want to be in the 1%…
Earn it.
Day after day.
When no one’s clapping.

Are you putting in the work to get the rewards?

#burnout #emotionalintelligence #leadership #focus #entrepreneurship

Neuroscience and Business Development Coach for High Performing Leaders with Burnout or Addictions. Turn Your Chaos into Clarity. CEO, Epic Entrepreneur Media. Founder, Elite Leaders Network.

Our kiddos are losing their ability to be creative.

(I hope we catch it before it's too late)

99% of what makes us human can’t be automated.

And in today’s AI-driven world, that matters more than ever.

We’re raising kids who can swipe before they can speak…
- But can they connect?
- Can they think creatively?
- Can they build relationships that last?

We can’t let screens replace the skills that build real lives.

When I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, we made forts and out of picnic tables in the dirt.

We had to use our imagination with rocks and sticks and some plastic toys.

I'm not saying it was perfect and it would have been cool to have some of the technologies today, but we learned to be creative.

Then Atari came out, and then Nintendo, and then Apple, and the Commodore 64... 

Anyway... here we are in a new age. 

And, it's amazing! 

But have our kiddos lost their ability to be human?
To create something out of nothing?
To use their imagination?

Here’s what matters (to me) more than any device: 👇 

1/ Curiosity
 ↳ Ask questions
 ↳ Explore the world with them
 ↳ Let their imagination take the lead

2/ Creativity
 ↳ Give them space to build, draw, dream, make a mess
 ↳ Limitless ideas come from unstructured time, not algorithmic suggestions

3/ Connection
 ↳ Teach them to look people in the eye
 ↳ Show them how to listen, empathize, and be present

4/ Real-World Problem Solving
 ↳ Life happens off the screen
 ↳ Let them struggle, try, fail, retry, that’s how confidence is built

5/ Human Values
 ↳ Kindness
 ↳ Integrity
 ↳ Love

These never go out of style, no matter how advanced the tech gets

AI is powerful.
But humanness is irreplaceable.

If we want our kiddos to thrive…
We need to teach them what machines can’t do.

Love. Create. Explore.

What do you think?
Have our kiddos lost their ability to create?

PS. If you're looking for high level peer support from burnout or your next big business move, I created The Elite Leaders.

#leadership #mentalhealth #consistency #burnout #entrepreneurship

The first step is always the hardest.

Not the tenth.
Not the hundredth.
The first.
Why?

Because the first step requires courage you haven’t proven yet.

Most people wait for:
↳ Confidence
 ↳ Clarity
 ↳ A perfect plan
 ↳ The “right time”

But none of that shows up until after you move.

Here’s the truth:
Action creates confidence.
 Momentum creates clarity.
 Movement creates opportunity.

These 5 First Steps Matter More Than Perfect Plans:

1/ Start Before You Feel Ready
 ↳ Readiness is a feeling that arrives after you begin
 ↳ If you wait for it, you’ll wait forever

2/ Take One Simple Action
 ↳ Don’t build the whole staircase
 ↳ Just take one step you can’t talk yourself out of

3/ Let Imperfection Be Your Teacher
 ↳ You don’t learn by thinking, you learn by doing
 ↳ Mistakes are just proof you’re in motion

4/ Be Willing to Look New at Something
 ↳ You can’t master what you won’t try
 ↳ Every expert started as a beginner

5/ Keep the Promise You Make to Yourself
 ↳ Self-trust is built one kept promise at a time
 ↳ When you keep showing up, everything changes

Take that first step.
Even if your voice shakes.
 Even if your knees shake.
 Even if your mind tries to talk you out of it.

You'll look back one day
 and wonder why you waited so long.

Most people think leadership is about being in charge.

High performers know better.

Leadership is about how you show up when it counts. 🔥 

And here’s the truth:
↳ There’s not just one way to lead, but the best leaders have one thing in common:
↳ They choose their style with intention. 🎯

Here are 9 leadership styles that show up again and again among high performers:👇 

✅ The Visionary
↳ They don’t just lead teams, they lead movements. 
↳ They make you feel the future before it arrives.

✅ The Coach
↳ Their superpower? 
↳ Spotting potential before you believe in it yourself.

✅ The Pacesetter
↳ They set the bar high and pull others up by being the standard. 
↳ They’re all-in, all the time.

✅ The Empath
↳ They read the room like a novel. 
↳ People follow them because they feel seen.

✅ The Quiet Leader
↳ They don’t need to raise their voice to make an impact. 
↳ Their calm presence is the loudest thing in the room.

✅ The Strategist
↳ They see patterns where others see chaos. 
↳ They play long games, and they win often.

✅ The Servant
↳ They put people first and lead by lifting others. 
↳ They earn loyalty without demanding it.

✅ The Transformer
↳ They don’t fear change... they thrive in it. 
↳ When the rules shift, they stay grounded.

✅ The Democrat
↳ They ask. They listen. 
↳ They build strong decisions through shared ownership.

Great leadership is situational.
But the mindset? That’s always intentional.

Which leadership style are you using?

Why Growth-Minded Leaders Win in the Long Run

(While Fixed Thinkers Stay Stuck)

A recent Harvard Business Review study shows that teams led by growth-minded leaders perform 25% better and are twice as engaged.

Translation?

A fixed mindset doesn’t just block progress, it repels it. ❌ 

Whereas a growth mindset?

It compounds. 💪 

It transforms: 👇🏼
 ↳ Pressure into performance
 ↳ Unknowns into innovation
 ↳ Setbacks into strategy

Here are 7 core differences between the two: 👇🏼
(And, why it matters) 

🧠 Perspective on Uncertainty

 🟥 Fixed Mindset: Avoids ambiguity. Needs guarantees before acting.
 ✅ Growth Mindset: Leans into uncertainty and makes decisions with incomplete information.

Why Growth?
 ↳ Growth leaders know clarity often follows action, not the other way around.

🧠 Definition of Success

 🟥 Fixed Mindset: Success = always being right.
 ✅ Growth Mindset: Success = learning, evolving, and getting better.

Why Growth?
 ↳ The pursuit of mastery beats the illusion of perfection.

🧠 Risk Tolerance

 🟥 Fixed Mindset: Overanalyzes and hesitates, fearful of mistakes.
 ✅ Growth Mindset: Takes calculated risks, knowing failure is part of the equation.

Why Growth?
 ↳ Without risk, there is no reward. Innovation only happens outside the comfort zone.

🧠 Focus in Tough Times

 🟥 Fixed Mindset: Gets distracted by problems.
 ✅ Growth Mindset: Stays focused on the solution.

Why Growth?
 ↳ When storms hit, mindset determines whether you sink or adapt and sail forward.

🧠 Handling Other People’s Success

 🟥 Fixed Mindset: Feels threatened or inferior.
 ✅ Growth Mindset: Feels inspired and motivated by others’ wins.

Why Growth?
 ↳ A rising tide lifts all boats, envy kills momentum, admiration builds it.

🧠 Openness to New Ideas

 🟥 Fixed Mindset: Clings to what’s familiar and proven.
 ✅ Growth Mindset: Actively seeks new input, even if it contradicts old beliefs.

Why Growth?
 ↳ Stagnation starts when learning stops. Innovation begins where ego ends.

🧠 Mentorship & Leadership

 🟥 Fixed Mindset: Hoards knowledge to stay ahead.
 ✅ Growth Mindset: Shares knowledge to lift others.

Why Growth?
 ↳ Leaders who teach, scale. Leaders who gatekeep, stall.

Do you have a growth mindset?

#leadership #mentalhealth #burnout #entrepreneurship

We don’t build our future in the future.

(I hope they teach this in school)

We build it in the quiet choices we make today.
- Good or bad.
- Like it or not.

I learned that the hard way.
In my early twenties, I chose the easy path.
Drugs and alcohol
Comfort food.
No exercise.
No real goals.
Late nights.
Numbing out.
Telling myself I’d get it together “soon.”

I wasn’t thinking long term.
I was thinking about the next hit of comfort.
The next distraction.
The next excuse.

And life got hard.
Really hard.

My finances suffered.
My health declined.
My relationships fell apart.
My confidence vanished.

Every easy choice came back with interest.
The kind you don’t want to pay.

It took years to climb out of that hole.
One honest step at a time.
One day at a time.
One decision at a time.

Choosing water over alcohol.
Choosing exercise over excuses.
Choosing coaching and inner work over autopilot.
Choosing to build a life instead of hide from one.

Hard choices.
Repeated daily.
Quietly.
Without applause.

But that’s when everything began to change.
That’s when I learned what the science already knew.
The brain is always shaping itself.
Always learning from what you do now.
Always preparing you for the future you are creating.

We think we judge our lives by big moments.
We don’t.

We judge them by the habits we repeat.

If you feel stuck right now, remember:
Discomfort is not a sign you’re failing.
It’s a sign you’re choosing a different future.

Every disciplined choice rewires your brain.
Even when the progress is invisible.

What feels hard today becomes your strength tomorrow.
IF you keep going.

I’m living proof that you can choose easy now and pay for it later.
And I’m living proof that you can turn it around.
With work.
With sacrifice.
With better choices made consistently.

You’re not trapped.
You’re in the middle of  BECOMING.

Just keep going... it will make sense later.

If you're looking for that high level peer support to help you make those moves, I created The Elite Leaders.

Revenue Growth | Emotion-Based Brand Messaging To 3x Your Revenues | Bridging the gap between sales and marketing

Too many B2B sales teams are generating a high volume of quotes/proposals—yet win rates remain lower than desired.

Opportunities stall or disappear quietly. Not because of pricing—but because critical conversion elements are missing from the system.

That’s where I come in.

I work with B2B companies between $5M and $20M to recover lost revenue by optimizing the entire sales infrastructure—from initial targeting to proposal acceptance.

It starts with the 21 Day Revenue Sprint™, a fast, high-impact engagement powered by my proprietary Revenue Performance System™.

In just a few weeks, most companies uncover $250K to $1M+ in recoverable opportunity already sitting in their pipeline.

We can go deeper.

As a strategic advisor, I can also work directly with your leadership and sales teams to implement the structural upgrades and behavioral shifts that drive sustained revenue growth—without adding headcount, increasing marketing spend, or flooding your pipeline with unqualified opportunities.

Clients regularly report 20x to 100x ROI from targeted, system-level improvements.

Key areas of focus include:
✔️ Precision prospect targeting and qualification
✔️ Streamlined sales process and deal progression
✔️ High-conversion proposals and buyer decision clarity
✔️ Follow-up strategies that re-engage stalled opportunities

If your team is consistently quoting high-value work but too many deals are fading without resolution—you don’t need more activity.

You need a system built to convert.

Why Your Brain Loves Procrastination (And What Actually Works)

Why leaders should focus on employee obsession and how it will impact so many critical aspects of the organization.

CFOs measure decision speed, but ignore decision drag and fatigue. This is costing companies millions of dollars and there's an easy fix.

If a CFO wants to see improvement in: 
1. Operational efficiency and workflow automation
2. Labor productivity and utilization
3. Margin protection and working-capital timing
4. Execution risk and organizational agility
5. Throughput and output acceleration
6. Cost of delay

The focus starts with giving employees relief in the moment of overwhelm, stuck and distracted. Solve that, and all six of these will be impacted greatly.

Employee Obsession. The Standard Every Leader Thinks They Follow but Rarely Do.

The workforce doesn't slow because they don't care.

They're slow because clarity slipped somewhere between the third meeting and the tenth message.

Most leaders see the symptoms: 
→ Tasks stretching past estimates 
→ Approvals sitting too long 
→ Projects drifting into next week

What they miss is the exact moment work slowed down.

It's costing more than you think.

Most companies assume their biggest challenge is workload. Deadlines stack up. Priorities collide. People feel stretched thin. On the surface, it look

Open article: The Workday Slowdown No One Talks About by Mike Pedersen • 7 min read

Decision Acceleration is a term you will start hearing more often when it comes to protecting payroll, operational efficiency, decision speed and throughput. 

DecideFast™ created the Decision Acceleration category, the performance layer that converts the hidden slowdowns inside the workday into speed, output, and financial gain.

To better understand the impact on the organization and employees, read this article.

Every company measures output. Revenue. Productivity. Efficiency. But almost no company measures the force that quietly drags them all down. Decision

Decision Acceleration: Why Fast Teams Outperform Everyone Else

THE HIDDEN $6.5M DRAIN

Every company tracks labor cost.

But almost no company measures the one force that silently drains millions of dollars: daily decision drag.

The hesitation. The small delays. The quiet moments where an employee freezes for five or ten seconds because they're stuck, unsure, or overloaded.

Those moments feel small. They're not.

Here's the math for a 500-employee company:
➡️ 13 interruptions per worker per day (UC Irvine)
➡️ 23 minutes to return to focus after each one
➡️ 5 hours of recovery time per employee per week
➡️ 2,500 hours lost across the workforce weekly
➡️ At $50/hour = $125,000 per week
➡️ $6.5 million annual drag

And this leaves out the secondary effects: → Delayed approvals → Slowed workflows → Stretched timelines → Margin erosion, let alone employee morale and burnout.

This isn't a people problem. It's a measurement problem.

➡️ You may not see it in daily reports, but these micro-delays quietly erode efficiency and margins. Imagine the cumulative impact if those lost minutes were reclaimed across your entire workforce.

Companies fix what they can see. Decision latency has been invisible.
Until now.

DecideFast™ created the category of Decision Acceleration. It gives employees fast resets(clarity) that cut decision drag and raise throughput across the workforce. Productivity rises because people act faster with less friction at every moment of the day.

Even small gains across 500 to 1000+ workers produce meaningful financial returns.

Innovative CFOs don’t sit on daily decision drag.

☑️ They eliminate hesitation.
☑️ They remove friction.
☑️ They clear bottlenecks.
☑️ They protect productivity.

➡️ They know slow decisions bleed hours.
➡️ They know overwhelmed employees stall output.
➡️ They know small moments of confusion turn into big operational losses.

✅ They never assume employees just need to try harder.
✅ They give teams support in the moments they are stuck.
✅ They make clarity a priority because clarity speeds up the entire company.
✅ They focus on real time solutions because real time is where work breaks down.

👎 They don’t wait for annual surveys to reveal the obvious.
👎 They don’t lean on programs that never get used.
👎 They don’t pretend burnout and hesitation fix themselves.
👎 They fix what slows people down before it turns into cost.

That is the mindset that wins.

$37,000,000 Gone You Won't See On A P&L

I did a DecideFast™ demo with an HR leader, and she was quite excited after she "felt it." 

She blurted out excitedly how productivity will go through the roof. I proceeded to tell her some shocking numbers. 

Only 3 out of 8 hours are truly productive—this “silent loss” is supported by research from Gallup, McKinsey, and HBR.

Let's consider a 1,000-employee company with an average annual salary of $60,000.

Calculation Details
➡️ Daily productivity loss: About $156,620.
➡️ Annual loss: $156,620 × 240 working days = $37,588,800.

This is a very conservative number; it is more like 250, as studies show the average number of workdays minus 11 holidays, and average PTO (10-12 days).

If you're a CFO reading this, you should work closely with your HR leaders to implement solutions that meet the needs (in the moment) of your workforce when they are overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out, which happens to 10-20 times every day.

You can't survey your way to more productivity. Nor can you meditate on it. It's time for an innovative solution to solve this $37M problem on demand and at scale.

Eliminating Decision Drag And Productivity Losses | Working With CFO and COO To Bring ROI To The Bottom Line | Creator of DecideFast™ The Decision Acceleration System

The Quiet Part of Work No One Talks About

Look at this image.
This is what employees carry through a single workday.
Most of it never gets said out loud.

HR sees the reports.
CFOs/COOs see the numbers.
But those numbers are lagging indicators.
They only show the damage after it spreads.

The real story sits inside the moments you see in this image:
➡️ the hesitation
➡️ the doubt
the mental stall
➡️ the quiet pressure that slows people down.

This is where performance rises or drops.
This is where culture strengthens or cracks.
This is where people decide whether they speak up, shut down, or check out.

Traditional programs measure what happened last month.
They miss what employees fight today.

DecideFast™ gives instant relief in the moments employees feel overwhelmed or stuck.
Real-time clarity.
Real-time stability.
Real-time momentum.

No waiting for surveys.
No long modules.
No programs people avoid.

This is the new frontier of workforce performance.

Support employees in the moments that shape their day, and the culture shifts fast.

➡️ Attn CFOs and COOs. If burnout rises, turnover climbs, and output keeps slipping, the guesswork has gone on long enough—time for a real conversation.

"Human Innovation starts with people, not policy. DecideFast™ gives employees the instant resets they need to think clearer, act faster, and leave work with energy. That’s how we improve human potential at scale."

#hr #humanpotential #employeeexperience #workforceculture #decidefast #employeesareyourbusiness

The real cost inside the workday!

Every CFO has buckets they monitor with precision. 
➡️ Operational efficiency. 
➡️ Labor productivity. 
➡️ Throughput. 
➡️ Cost of delay. 
➡️ Workforce stability. 
➡️ Agility and execution risk. 

These buckets decide how fast a company grows or falls behind.

What most leaders miss is the root cause hiding inside all six. 
➡️ Employees get stuck. 
➡️ They get overwhelmed. 
➡️ They get distracted. 
It happens dozens of times per day across hundreds or thousands of people. 

The financial impact climbs into the millions before anyone sees it.

There has never been a real solution for those moments. Not surveys, wellness, or meditation apps. They are all lagging indicators (too late).

Nothing that meets employees in the exact second they hesitate (until now). 

Nothing that cuts through the overwhelm and gets them back into action fast.

That gap is massive and measurable. 

That gap is why companies are paying for slow decisions, lost output, and stalled execution without realizing where the leak begins.

DecideFast™  sits inside that gap. 
✅ It resets employees in seconds. 
✅ It restores clarity when they need it most. 
✅ It accelerates decisions at scale.

CFOs can ignore noise. They cannot ignore the cost leaking out every single day due to hesitation and distraction.

“DecideFast™ sits at the intersection of decision speed, execution efficiency, and operational capacity.”

DecideFast™ The Decision Acceleration System

#cfo #workforceproductivity #decisionacceleration

Most leaders like to think they're running lean.
Often they are not, they're just spending less.

There's a difference.

Lean isn't about cutting budgets. It's about protecting payroll and controlling labor costs while eliminating waste.

👎 But here's what actually happens: CFOs see $8 million disappearing every year and call the fix an unnecessary expense.

Employees are productive 36% of the day. Every distraction burns 23 minutes of recovery time.

In a 500-person company, that's roughly $8 million in annual losses from decision drag and context switching.

Employees aren't to blame. 

When the brain experiences stress, it seeks immediate relief. 

That relief shows up as distraction—over two hours daily on phones, more than an hour on social media, the rest in texting, email, and YouTube. 

It's not a character flaw. It's how the human brain works under pressure.

➡️ Labor is the largest expense on the P&L. Protecting that investment means eliminating the factors that erode it.

Lean companies still invest in anything that protects payroll and execution. That is real leanness. Ignoring hard numbers is not leanness. It is cost denial dressed up as discipline.

➡️ Most finance teams never calculate the cost of decision drag.
Some see the numbers and the investment required don't fit the current budget narrative.

CFOs optimize labor cost per unit. Gross margin. Operating leverage.
But improving operational efficiency means protecting the throughput already on payroll.

➡️ Most companies spend millions to analyze slowdowns while the real losses happen in the seconds no dashboard can see. They measure everything except the drag that hits execution and inflates payroll cost. 

A consultant I spoke with on LinkedIn put it simply: "Easy for leaders to ignore what they choose not to believe."

The gap between what's being paid for and what's being delivered is sitting in these numbers.

The question is whether they get acted on or ignored.

➡️ DecideFast™ is offering 60-second demos. No slides or pitch. Just experience it. If you're a CFO or COO wanting to improve operational efficiency, throughput and protect your payroll, this is your solution.

➡️ ➡️ “Every solution promises performance after rollout. DecideFast™ delivers it on day one.”

Why Decision Speed Is Now a Must

Market data makes one thing crystal clear: decision speed and organizational agility are top strategic priorities for enterprises in 2025 and beyond.

➡️ Nearly 50% of senior leaders say accelerating decision-making is essential to thrive—up 10 points since 2021. 
➡️ 47% report that lagging agility costs significant profit, a rising concern compared to just 37% in 2021. 
➡️ Faster decision speed correlates directly with higher operational performance and competitive advantage. 
➡️ Yet only 28% of leaders feel truly ready to adapt as markets shift, signaling a major gap to close. 

 The message is clear: Focusing on reducing decision drag, hesitation, and speed is what executives need to survive in this fast-paced world we live in. Decision speed is simple, measurable, and directly tied to survival and success in volatile markets.

➡️ ➡️ "Every slowdown has a price. Most leaders pretend the leak is small because they have no solution to stop it."

Most current programs focus on lagging indicators, such as surveys, engagement, and wellness. If you want your company to survive, you must reevaluate the programs you are investing in and ask yourself this…
…“Is this helping our workforce in real time, or is it late?”

DecideFast™ is the decision acceleration system that turns hesitation into speed across your entire organization.

➡️ We are opening up 2 pilots before the end of this year. 100 users, 30 days. Data and proof are the intention. 

➡️ Are you a growth-minded leader who won’t accept the status quo? If so, reach out, and I’ll show you DecideFast™ live. It will be the fastest demo call you’ve ever had. No slides or pitch. Just experience it. 

“Most solutions take months to roll out and still never get used. DecideFast™ impacts your workforce in the first hour.”

CFOs are under more pressure than ever: 65% say their boards want to see fast, measurable ROI from technology and productivity investments—the clock is ticking on every dollar spent.

Yet the reality inside most organizations?

$500 billion a year is lost across US enterprises to micro-hesitation, slowed decisions, and operational drag. 

A Fortune 500 company can lose up to 530,000 manager-days annually—often $250 million in payroll—because decision drag stalls projects and drains throughput. 

PwC reports that over half of executives admit they’re missing major business opportunities because teams can’t decide fast enough. 

But here’s the paradox:
➡️ Most “productivity” tools add complexity, require extra steps, and push employees to absorb yet another framework. People don’t want another workstream—they want relief, in the moment, when they’re truly stuck.

High-performing CFOs, those who outperform their peers, spend almost half their time on forward-looking strategy, not backward-looking reporting. They know that the true lever is helping teams move at business speed, not just adding more dashboards.

➡️ The next era of productivity will belong to those who can eliminate unnecessary complexity and enable teams to reset and move forward when it counts most.

➡️ It's time the corporate world woke up, fixed these million-dollar costs, and stopped ignoring these numbers. Who's bold enough to step forward?

“DecideFast™ sits at the intersection of decision speed, execution efficiency, and operational capacity.”

Three factors. Most companies measure none of them.

Decision Speed. Decision Drag. Decision Fatigue.

CFOs do not have a way to track these, nor have they tracked any of them.

They track outcomes. Revenue per employee. Project delivery. Deals closed.

But they're not measuring the decision layer—the invisible friction that sits between effort and execution.

Decision Speed 
How fast people move once they know the next step.

Decision Drag 
The slowdown that happens in the moment, inside the second, before anything starts. This is the invisible delay. The hesitation before the first action. The mental friction of figuring out what matters when everything feels urgent.

Decision Fatigue 
The psychological load that builds over the day and makes every choice heavier than the last.

By midday, the brain has burned through hundreds of micro-decisions. Email. Slack. Meetings. Priorities are shifting every hour. Each one pulls capacity until even simple choices feel impossible.

It's 2pm. Someone on your team has six things on their list. They stare at the screen for three minutes deciding which one to start.

That's not laziness. That's Decision Drag and Decision Fatigue compounding in real time.

Employees aren't to blame. The brain under cognitive load doesn't speed up. It delays and distracts to seek relief.

Measuring outcomes while ignoring the decision layer is like tracking how fast a car goes while ignoring that the engine keeps stalling and the driver is exhausted.

CFOs are being asked to cut costs and improve margins without clear visibility into where the money is actually going.

➡️ Headcount is the largest line item. Protecting it means knowing what's eroding it.

Most finance teams are reacting—defending budgets, justifying spend, trying to do more with less.

But they don't have the numbers that show where throughput is actually being lost.

➡️ Efficient companies invest in anything that protects payroll and execution. 

The gap between what's being paid for and what's being delivered lives in these three numbers.

Most leadership teams don't know what those numbers are.

The ones who do can't ignore them.

➡️ For those CFOs who want to protect payroll, improve operational efficiency, and throughput, DecideFast™ is the decision acceleration system that can solve this in real time, with no onboarding or friction. You see the impact in the first hour!

Meetings Are Quietly Bleeding Companies!

Most leaders know meetings slow things down.
Few understand the financial damage.

Here is what the data shows:

🚫 36 to 56 million meetings happen in the US every day
Source: UNC Charlotte
🚫 71 percent of meetings are unproductive
Source: Korn Ferry
🚫 Employees spend 31 hours a month in unnecessary meetings
Source: Atlassian
🚫 Inefficient meetings cost US companies $399 billion per year
Source: Doodle “State of Meetings” Report
🚫 Executives lose an average of 23 hours a week to meetings
Source: Harvard Business Review

That is not a scheduling problem.
That is an friction problem.

Employees do not need more meetings. They need clarity in the moment.
The meeting happens because the work slowed down long before the calendar invite.

This is where DecideFast™ steps in.

✅ A fast reset on their phone.
✅ Used in seconds. 
✅ Restores focus before the slowdown turns into another meeting no one wants.

➡️ Cut meeting load.
➡️ Increase throughput.
➡️ Protect payroll.

We built a Decision Drag Cost Calculator for CFOs to plug in their numbers to see the hit their company is taking that no tech stack is fixing!

5-minute call and we'll show it to you and discuss how we both can fix this together.

The most expensive problems in your company are not the big ones.
They’re the tiny ones happening all day.

➡️ Micro-behaviors.
➡️ Overload.
➡️ Decision fatigue.
➡️ Short attention shifts.
➡️ In-the-moment hesitation.
➡️ The quiet pauses nobody tracks.

This is where the real slowdown happens.
This is where execution slips.
This is where companies lose millions in lower productivity and throughput without seeing it.

Employees aren’t failing.
Their brains hit a wall for a few seconds at a time.
Those seconds turn into minutes and compound across the workforce.

👉 That’s the real cost every CFO feels, even if they can’t trace it.

The companies that win are the ones that...
➡️ Support employees in these exact moments 10-20 times a day across the workforce.

When an employee gets clear fast, the whole organization moves more efficiently and quicker.

It's time to make a change! Employee survey and wellness programs are not solving this. They are lagging indicators. They are too late! 

➡️ Human Innovation starts with people, not policy. DecideFast™ gives employees instant mental resets they need to think clearer, act faster, and leave work with energy. That’s how we improve human potential at scale, and directly affect the bottom line!

We are offering enterprise leaders who are open to change and want their employees to have a solution that truly helps them, a 60-second DecideFast™ demo to feel it for yourself. 

Contact me and we'll set up a 5-minute call. No slides or pitch. Just experience it. 

“Most tools take months to roll out and still never get used. DecideFast™ impacts your workforce in the first hour.”

Most companies keep staring at workflow, while the real loss lives in the decision layer.

We obsess over revenue per employee, project delivery, ticket throughput, deals closed. All outcome metrics. None of them explain why a paid workday moves slow even when people are “working.”

Here is the part finance teams rarely name.

➡️ Decision Speed
How fast paid hours turn into output.

➡️ Decision Drag
Where payroll leaks before work even starts.

➡️ Decision Fatigue
Mental overload that quietly shrinks daily capacity.

➡️ Execution Flow
How consistently your labor investment produces.

Dashboards flag bottlenecks. Surveys confirm stress. BI tools paint the picture in fifteen different views. Then you look up a month later, and the same teams are still moving slowly. That is not a reporting issue. That is a decision-layer issue.

Think about a typical afternoon.
It is 2pm. A high performer has six priorities on their screen. Everything feels urgent. Nothing feels clear. Three minutes go by. Then ten. No one logs that moment anywhere. Yet payroll is still running.

Multiply that across hundreds or thousands of people and you see the problem. 

You are paying full price for capacity that gets chipped away by hesitation, overload, and unclear calls. Not because people are lazy. Because the system gives them data without giving them a fast reset when they hit that wall.

CFOs are being asked to cut costs and protect margins while the biggest leak sits between “I see the issue” and “We made the decision.” That space is invisible in most models. Which means the true cost never shows up where it should.

If you lead finance, this is the next frontier.
You do not need another dashboard. You need visibility into how fast decisions move, where they slow down inside the day, and how much paid capacity you lose there.

The companies that choose to measure and improve these four forces will run circles around the ones that keep polishing reports.

That’s what we solve at DecideFast™—real-time mental resets for your entire workforce. Decision acceleration compounds across the organization, protecting payroll, increasing operational efficiency, and decreasing labor cost leakage.

➡️ It's time the corporate world woke up, fixed these million-dollar costs, and stopped ignoring them. Who's bold enough to step forward?

Low Risk:
100 users. 30 days. Gather data (proof). Workforce rollout.

“DecideFast™ sits at the intersection of decision speed, execution efficiency, and operational capacity.”

Most “workflow bottlenecks” aren’t workflow problems.

They’re decision problems hiding inside dashboards.

Every ops leader says the same thing:
“We can see the bottlenecks. The dashboards light up. The surveys confirm it.
But weeks later… the work is still stuck.”

Dashboards, surveys, and BI tools are great at surfacing friction. 
They are not effective at clearing it.​

Here’s what no one wants to admit:
Work isn’t waiting on data. It’s waiting on a decision.

Tasks don’t stall in Jira or Asana. They stall in people’s heads.
“We’re blocked” really means “No one feels safe or clear enough to move.”​

Workflow tools were built to track stuck work.

They were never built to give people a mental reset and accelerate decisions in real time.​

That’s the gap DecideFast™ was built to close.
It gives your people an on‑demand mental reset and improves decision acceleration in real time, the moment they get stuck:
✅ Break the cognitive jam.
✅ Create fast, aligned decisions.
✅ Protect payroll from another afternoon of “spinning.”​

Bottlenecks shouldn’t just be visible.
They should be short-lived.

If your dashboards keep telling you the same story every month, you don’t have a reporting problem.
➡️ You have a decision latency problem.

That’s what we solve at DecideFast™—real-time mental resets for your entire workforce. Decision acceleration compounds across the organization, protecting payroll, increasing operational efficiency, and decreasing labor cost leakage.

➡️ It's time the corporate world woke up, fixed these million-dollar costs, and stopped ignoring them. Who's bold enough to step forward?

“DecideFast™ sits at the intersection of decision speed, execution efficiency, and operational capacity.”

CFOs carry pressure most people never see.

 ✅ Every number.
 ✅ Every timeline.
 ✅ Every slowdown in the business hits their desk.

Yet one thing separates the decisive CFO from the comfortable one.

The decisive CFO acts when the math is clear.

The comfortable CFO waits for January.
Both reveal who they are.

Here’s the truth.
➡️ Employees get stuck ten to twenty times a day.
➡️ Those moments cost paid hours that never turn into output (millions).
 
And nothing in the tech stack touches it.

The pressure on CFOs is real.

The waste inside the workday is real.

And there is a solution built for the exact gap every company carries.

Decisive CFOs don’t wait for clean calendars.
➡️ They act when the loss is staring them in the face.

For the bold CFOs who don’t wait for perfect timing.

➡️ 100 users.
➡️ 30 days.
➡️ Pure data.
Roll it out in January with confidence, not guesswork. ROI hits the first week.
No onboarding. No training. No friction. Scales to 10,000 employees or more.

➡️ DecideFast™ is the decision acceleration system built for the gap that nothing in your tech stack touches.

THE CATEGORY THAT DIDN'T EXIST

Every major enterprise category emerged when companies finally recognized a critical missing layer:
→ Infrastructure created cloud adoption 
→ CRM created sales visibility
→ HCM created workforce structure 
→ Cybersecurity created digital trust
→ Decision Acceleration (created by DecideFast™) creates control over the seconds that drive execution speed.

This category didn't exist because the problem was invisible.

🚫 Systems couldn't see when an employee paused. 
🚫 Managers couldn't detect micro-delays. 
🚫 Dashboards couldn't capture seconds of internal uncertainty.
🚫 But the cost was real:

➡️ McKinsey shows companies with faster decision cycles achieve 5% higher EBITDA margins.

➡️ Bain shows companies with high decision velocity grow revenue 2.5x faster than slow organizations.

The slowdown inside the moment has always existed. 

Companies just accepted it as normal because they lacked a way to observe it, quantify it, or improve it.

Now that layer is visible. Now it can be influenced. Now it can be improved.

Decision Acceleration is the category we built to eliminate the drag that slows every workforce. 

DecideFast™ The Decision Acceleration System

#NewCategory #DecisionVelocity #EnterpriseSoftware #DigitalTransformation

Labor costs are not the real problem.

The real problem is how much paid time never turns into real work.

➡️ Leaders feel it every day.
➡️ Teams look busy.
➡️ Projects slip.
➡️ Payroll grows.
➡️ Capacity feels capped.

Yet the cuts always attack the same levers.

🚫 They automate.
🚫 They merge roles.
🚫 They outsource.
🚫 They push managers harder.
🚫 They swap fixed and variable costs.

All of that moves numbers.
None of it fixes what happens inside the day.

Here is where the money leaks.
Your people lose minutes when:
✔️ They hesitate on a priority
✔️ They replay the same issue in their head
✔️ They bounce between tasks with no clear next step
✔️ They sit in mental overload and reach for their phone

Those minutes never show on a report.
They hit EBITDA anyway.

There is a sixth lever leaders rarely name.

✅ Recover lost time.
✅ Strengthen managers without adding people.
✅ Reduce daily friction inside the shift.
✅ Increase capacity from the team you already have.
✅ Boost role output through clarity, not pressure.

That is what DecideFast™ is built for.

Employees hit a wall.
They type what is going on.
They get a sharp reset in seconds.

You are not cutting labor.
You are finally getting what you already pay for.

➡️ Finally a solution your workforce will use and actually enjoy it. Adoption and usage is built in like no other tool.

Are you a CFO/COO or manager that wants the best for your workforce and at the same time recover millions lost? 

➡️ It's time to acknowledge the gap the existing tech stack will never close.

DecideFast™ Decision Acceleration System 
Reducing wasted hours, slow decisions, and daily friction that erodes productivity.
