THE WEATHER SERIES
Five tools for the situations — and the environment — that shape your leadership.
A hard decision. A high-stakes meeting. A person you can't figure out. A conversation you keep putting off. And the organization you're doing all of it inside. Each Weather tool gives you a structured read — not theory, not personality data, but a concrete strategy built on what's actually happening.
WHY THE WEATHER SERIES
Most leadership tools measure who you are.  The Weather Series helps you navigate what you're facing — and understand the environment you're facing it in.
The situation tools are designed for specific leadership moments — the kind that show up every week but rarely get the structured thinking they deserve. The Climate reads the organization itself. You can use any of them once or come back every time you face a new version of the same situation. Priced to be used, not shelved.
The Climate — $29
Your organizational values assessment. Four modes let you read the climate from different angles — Big Picture (the whole org, 25 questions), Situational (a specific event, 18 questions), Your Team (the culture you've built, 20 questions), or The Org Above (how the larger org affects your team, 20 questions). Each mode produces a full AI-generated coaching read.

HOW IT WORKS
Each Weather tool follows the same flow. You answer a set of structured questions about your specific situation — the people, the stakes, the dynamics. The system analyzes your answers and delivers a detailed read with concrete recommendations. You get a downloadable PDF report immediately.

The Approach
Plan the hard conversation — what to say, in what order, and what to do when it goes sideways.
The Front
Map the room before the meeting — who's in it, what they want, where the pressure sits.
The Barometer
Who wins, who loses, what it signals, and the cost of waiting — on the call you have to make.
The Tailwind
Profile a colleague — what pushes them, what drains them, and how to use it.
The Climate
What your organization truly values — rewarded, tolerated, punished — not what's on the poster.
Not sure where to start?
Start with whichever one is most alive for you right now. A decision you're stuck on. A meeting you're walking into. A person you can't read. A conversation you keep rehearsing. Or the organization you're doing all of it inside. Each tool stands on its own — pick the situation, get a strategy.
