Helping speakers, coaches, training and consulting companies to book calls and close clients from LinkedIn.

My clients get results like the following:

• Sean, a career coach, went from no responses to 24 calls booked in 8 weeks.

• Nick, an executive coach, closed a $10k client within his first month.

“I’ve spent over $260k in marketing over the past 3 years, and this is the only thing that’s actually worked.” – Juliet

“I went from nothing in the hopper to a $24k deal with my ideal client in under a month.” – Jason

“In just a few weeks, I have new clients due to this process and I am so happy!” – Paula

Most LinkedIn outreach doesn’t work.

Mine does. Here’s the proof:

 • Sean (career coach): 0 replies → 24 calls in 8 weeks
 • Nick (executive coach): $10k “completely ideal” client in 30 days
 • Brandon (org training): 7 clients + $28k in 12 weeks
 • Kelley (sales coach): 1 high-ticket + 8 group clients in 6 months
 • Juliet (training & consulting): $30k hiding in her network
 • Maria (healthcare): 400+ responses + multiple $60k deals with top healthcare leaders

It’s not that LinkedIn is broken.

It’s that most outreach is stale, templated… and fucking weird.

“I saw your profile…”
“Thought you’d be a good fit…”
“Quick call?”

That energy gets sorted into “sales” and ignored.

Finding clients on LinkedIn comes down to two things:

1. Starting more conversations (with the right people).
2. Leading those conversations toward a decision.

If you don’t have enough conversations,
or a system for turning them into clients,
you’ll keep staring at “perfect-fit” profiles… while they don’t even know you exist.

That’s why I built a system that reliably turns strangers into paid clients. From cold LinkedIn outreach.

If your audience is on LinkedIn, but you’re not having conversations that lead to clients, let’s fix that.

I’ll take a look at what you’re doing, and tell you straight if I can help you make money.

If not, I’ll point you elsewhere. Sound good?

And with that...Regional Scout Conference season comes to an end.

Four conferences in five months. Vienna. Kaohsiung. Willemstad. Abu Dhabi. I followed our Africa conference from afar and was moved by what colleagues achieved in Antananarivo.

Each gathering asked the same question in different ways. How do we bring Scouting to more young people everywhere? And how do we shape its future?

The answers are starting to change.

In Africa, NSOs elected their youngest-ever Regional Committee. Four members under 30. They passed a landmark resolution to recognise non-formal education through Scouting.

In Interamerica, a historic 60% female majority now leads the region. NSOs committed to measuring impact against the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

In Asia-Pacific, safeguarding moved from principle to prerequisite. The region set a target of 30% youth representation in decision-making bodies.

In Europe, NSOs embedded peace education into Youth Programmes and strengthened the partnership between Scouts and Guides.

In the Arab region, NSOs launched a comprehensive governance review and committed to flexible volunteering and humanitarian action.

These are not small shifts.

They tell us something about what kind of Movement we are becoming. One where young people do not wait for permission to lead. Where women take their rightful place in governance. Where protecting our members is non-negotiable.

But the moments that stayed with me were not the votes or the resolutions.

They were the hallway conversations. A volunteer from a small NSO asking how to keep going with almost no resources. A young leader challenging us to close the gap between what we say and what we do. Two delegations who had never met, exchanging ideas that could change how both of them work.

That is where strategy comes alive.

Our Strategy for Scouting is now fully aligned across all five regions. Each region has adopted triennial plans that connect to our shared direction. We are rowing in the same direction.

Sixty million Scouts. Five million volunteers. One strategy.

Thank you to my fellow World Scout Committee members, the World Scout Bureau team, and every host country that opened their doors.

We have a strategy and a plan. The question is no longer what we want.

It is whether we will seize this moment of unity. We have the strategy. We have the alignment. Now we need the discipline to follow through and the humility to learn as we go.

I left these conferences believing we can figure it out together.

Now we get to work.

I moderated a tourism investment panel last week at the Curaçao International Investment Summit.

Five people. 

An investor who's been building here for 20 years. A CEO representing 250+ members of the tourism sector. A fintech running operations data across 30 Caribbean islands and countries. A business intelligence expert leading with insights at the Tourist Board. A government director coordinating major projects.

The initial plan was simple: pitch opportunities, showcase returns, get investors excited.

Something else happened.

Last year, government and private sector aligned on seven priorities for sustainable tourism. They passed them as resolutions at our National Tourism Conference.

That alignment changed the conversation.

One panelist said it clearly: "We have room to grow. The data proves it. But the question is how we grow, not just if we grow."

We started asking different questions.

What type of investor do we actually want? How do we measure carrying capacity? What does social impact look like? How do we develop our workforce while growing? What benefits the community?

This is what systems change looks like.

You're not stopping growth. You're not choosing between development and preservation. You're changing what counts as success.

Is it perfect? No. Are there tensions? Yes. Some still push volume over value. Some want quick returns over patient capital.

But the question changed.

And when the question changes, behavior follows.

I've watched plenty of strategic plans sound beautiful and change nothing.

What changes things is when practitioners, policymakers, and data experts start using the same frame. When five different people answer "what does success look like?" and their answers fit together.

We're not there yet. But we're asking better questions.

Better questions build better systems.

What questions is your team asking right now?

The other day, I was working with new people managers at a financial institution.

One manager was practicing a coaching conversation. She jumped straight to the issue. What's not working. What needs to change.

I leaned in and nudged her. "Ask them how they're doing first."

She looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"Just ask. How are you doing? As a person. Not about the task. Then pause. Count to seven. Let them actually answer."

The room went quiet. You could see it clicking for everyone.

This is the part most new managers miss. They want to be professional. Get to the point. Show they're capable. So they go straight to business.

But you can't have open conversations about performance with someone you don't actually know.

Later in the training, we used the Emotional Card Deck. People chose cards for how they need to feel as leaders. Then, they chose cards for how their team members need to feel to do good work.

One manager realized her team needs to feel safe admitting mistakes. But she'd never created that space. She was always jumping to solutions.

You can't solve performance issues with a plan alone. You need trust first. Managers who build relationships before they try to fix performance get different results.

What would change in your team if you started every conversation with "How are you doing?" and waited seven seconds for the real answer?

A guy walked into the room, looked around at the flip charts and markers, and asked: "Why are we doing this when ChatGPT could do it for us?"

The room paused. Some nodded. Fair question. I grinned.

This newly formed federation had hired me to help them define their purpose, mission, vision, and values. And yes, ChatGPT could draft those in seconds.

But here's what we did instead.

I asked everyone to reflect on why they do this work. Why they chose this path. The room was silent. Not awkward silence. Sacred silence. People turned inward, then slowly began sharing.

One person spoke about personal loss that drove them here. Another about their own struggles. Someone else about witnessing their community's needs firsthand.

As each person shared, others leaned forward. Nodded. Made eye contact. Found pieces of themselves in each story.

The common thread emerged naturally: They all wanted to build something bigger than themselves. To develop human capability. To serve their communities.

Later, they created vision boards with magazines. Cutting, pasting, walking between groups to see what others were creating. Laughing when someone "stole" the perfect image. Building on each other's ideas with scissors and glue.

The energy shifted from skepticism to possibility.

ChatGPT could have given them perfectly crafted statements in minutes.

Instead, they spent hours finding their own words through tears, laughter, and debate. They left with more than a document. They left bonded, energized, ready to build together.

The right words matter less than the journey to find them.

That skeptical board member? He became one of the most engaged participants by the end.

Fifty young ladies ran an entrepreneurship market in Sambil.

Part of my wife's Empowerment Academy program.

They sold jewelry. Baked goods. Handmade crafts. Services.

This was the culmination of weeks of training. Product development. Pricing strategies. Customer service practice.

But the market is where learning became real.

The parents showed up throughout. They helped refine business ideas. They gave feedback on prototypes. They practiced customer conversations at home. On market day, they set up tables and invited neighbors.

Not teachers. Not experts. Just parents participating in the process.

Some people ask me if entrepreneurship education belongs in schools.

My answer is no.

Formal education teaches about entrepreneurship. Non-formal education teaches by entrepreneurship.

There's a difference.

You can explain pricing in a classroom. But you only learn pricing when a customer walks away because your price is too high.

You can role play customer service. But you only learn it when a real person questions your product.

You can practice a pitch. But you only own it when money changes hands.

The weeks of training mattered. But the doing is what made it stick.

Studies across multiple countries confirm this. Non-formal entrepreneurship education has stronger effects on entrepreneurial abilities than classroom learning. Direct experience builds skills that lectures cannot.

Start young. Start with structure. Finish with doing.

The market isn't the program. It's where the program becomes real.

Where did you first learn something that mattered by just doing it?
