Services · Saint Paul, MN

Three programs, all priced up front.Nothing bills by the hour.

Cinder runs exactly three engagements — a 90-day one-on-one coaching program, a full-day leadership team offsite, and a 360° feedback assessment. Each is scoped, quoted, and billed as a single program, so you know the total before session one.

Who sits in the chair

First-year directors and VPs across operations, product, engineering, and finance — most funded by an employer, all inside their first twelve months of the title.

Leadership Team Offsite

  • Prep Pre-reads and short 1:1 intakes before the day
  • Deliverable A written decision-rights and cadence memo for the team

The common floor

What holds true across all three.

Whichever program you scope, the same operating principles apply — so there are no surprises hiding between the line items.

One practitioner, start to close

Dana Reike scopes, runs, and closes every engagement. No junior handoff, no rotating bench, no diagnostic passed to someone else.

A price quoted before you start

Every program is fixed-scope and billed once. Nothing meters by the hour and nothing quietly renews into a monthly retainer.

A written artefact you keep

Every engagement ends with something documented — a handoff, a memo, or a brief — not just a set of finished conversations.

Confidentiality that survives sponsorship

When an employer funds the work, they learn only that it started and finished. What's said in the room stays in the room.

Twin Cities in person, or remote

Sessions run over video or in Saint Paul and across the metro. Offsites happen wherever your team gathers.

A clean exit built in

Programs end on a defined date. If the fit is wrong at the mid-point, we say so and part cleanly — you're committed program by program.

After the core program

Optional additions, scoped on request.

These attach to an active or completed engagement — never sold as a standing subscription.

  • +1

    Four-session extension

    A short, bounded add-on for a graduate of Program 01 facing a new inflection — a reorg, a first board seat, or a step to VP.

  • +2

    Written stakeholder briefing

    A confidential one-page synthesis of a director's stakeholder map and pressures, prepared before an engagement begins.

  • +3

    Six-month re-check

    A single follow-up session held roughly half a year after Program 01 closes — to test what stuck and reset the next checkpoints.
