STRATEGIC ADVISORY APPROACH
How the Advisory Engagement Functions
A high-altitude, behind-the-scenes partnership tailored to your governance cycle and boardroom calendar.
Dedicated Advisory Sessions
Structured virtual sessions aligned to your quarterly board cycles, annual compensation reviews, or high-stakes leadership transitions.
Deck & Narrative Stress-Testing
High-level review and strategic calibration of Compensation Committee decks, board memos, and executive narratives before presentation.
Asynchronous 'On-Call' Access
Priority direct access between sessions for real-time guidance when time-sensitive boardroom or governance challenges arise.
Firm Operational Guardrails
Clear thinking, not outsourced labor. I act strictly as your confidential advisor behind the scenes—no operational HR cycles.
NEW LEADER ACCELERATION
Your First 90 Days Define Your Next Three Years.
The most consequential window of any executive tenure isn't year two or three. It's the first 90 days. New CHROs and Total Rewards executives face immediate pressure to establish credibility, align stakeholders, and deliver — before they've had time to fully assess the landscape. Two Lane's New Leader Acceleration is a structured advisory partnership designed specifically for that window.
Who It's For
Newly appointed CHROs and senior Total Rewards executives stepping into their first role at that level — or into a significantly more complex organization.
What We Focus On
Stakeholder mapping and early relationship strategy. Establishing credibility with the board and compensation committee. Identifying quick wins without overcommitting. Building your leadership narrative from day one.
How It Works
A 90-day structured engagement. 12 sessions — weekly throughout. Virtual-first, confidential, and shaped around your priorities.
This is not onboarding support or HR orientation. It is senior-level thought partnership for executives who already know how to lead — and want to lead exceptionally from the moment they walk in the door.

EXECUTIVE COACHING
Executive Coaching for High-Stakes Leaders.
Designed for leaders who need clarity — not prescribed answers. Sessions are 1:1, virtual-first, and structured enough to be productive while remaining genuinely conversational.

The EXECUTIVE COACHING Approach
Coaching Built on Two-Way Conversation.
Two Lane is grounded in dialogue, clarity, and genuine partnership — not formulas or prescriptive models. Aligned with International Coaching Federation (ICF) coaching competencies and ethics, this is a non-directive partnership. When the stakes are high, the right conversation doesn't just surface answers. It reshapes how you think, lead, and decide.
Two-Way Exchange
Clarity emerges through conversation — not one-sided advice, but a genuine exchange where your thinking deepens in real time.
Calm, Structured Space
A place to think, not perform. Sessions slow the pace and sharpen focus — without pressure or pretense.
Executive-Level Insight
Grounded in more than a decade of board-facing leadership — lived experience at the senior levels, not theory.
How We Work Together
A Simple, Premium Process.
Three steps — from first conversation to ongoing partnership. No lengthy intake forms. No rigid programs. Just a clear path forward.
The engagement is shaped around your priorities — not a predefined curriculum. You set the direction; Jeff provides the structure and the questions that unlock clarity.

“As I navigated high-stakes compensation committee discussions, Jeff’s partnership during preparation and his voice in the meeting itself were instrumental in ensuring productive conversations. He helped us frame issues with a calm, precise, objective and honest perspective which led to understanding the real questions beneath the surface. Jeff has the ability to distill complex issues into a solution with a clear path forward.”
