SOUND FAMILIAR?

You have options.
And a decision
you keep putting off.

“People ask for my help. What could they hire me to do?”

“I want my next role to make better use of my experience.”

“I have several possibilities. Which one deserves my attention?”

“Our organization has valuable expertise. How do we put it to work?”

A LOOK AT THE KIND OF HELP YOU GET

Something to test.
Someone to ask.

Illustrative example: people often ask an operations leader for help with delegation, but she has never offered it as paid work.

THE OPPORTUNITY

A working session.

Help newly promoted managers build a delegation plan for one real project. Begin with a small session before developing a full course.

THE BUYER QUESTION

Who needs this now?

Ask a department head how managers currently learn to delegate, where work gets stuck, and who can approve paid support.

THE FIRST TEST

Discuss a paid pilot.

Describe the session, the plan they would leave with, and a proposed fee. Ask whether it addresses a current need.

What counts as movement? A request for scope, a budget conversation, or an agreed next meeting is more useful than “great idea.” Record what happened and what you still need to learn.

Your automated result follows your selected answers. Written examples are included in your brief; they are not individually reviewed. Your next move may concern paid work, a career direction, or a leadership decision.

“I never considered myself a woman in tech. Until I spoke at NC TECH.”

By then, I’d already built Authentic Authority™ around my expertise. A tool people could use in a keynote, a workshop, or on their own. A way to experience my thinking and stay connected through my own email list.

I’m Kristi Straw, a former banking and wealth management executive and the founder of Lighthouse Leadership Consultants. I help people decide how to earn from the expertise they’ve spent years developing.

The work gets specific: who buys, what you offer, what it costs, and what happens next.

AFTER YOUR RESULT

Take the next step.
Get help when you need it.

Start with the action in your brief. Your recommendation may point to a free resource, help defining an offer, a career or leadership decision, or support for an organization.

You can work through the next step on your own. If you want personal help, bring the actual decision. We’ll agree on the work, responsibilities, and investment before you commit.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

A few useful answers.

Is the diagnostic free?

Yes. Set aside about 10 minutes. Enter your email at the end to see your recommendation and receive your next-move brief. You do not have to purchase anything.

Is this only for people starting a business?

No. Your next move might involve a paid offer, a different use for your experience, a fractional or advisory role, an employed career move, a leadership decision, or work inside an organization.

Can I explore something alongside my current work?

Yes. Your responsibilities, available time, income needs, and existing commitments belong in that decision.

What happens after I finish?

You’ll see a recommendation based on your answers and receive a practical brief by email. Follow the action and relevant resource in your result. Self-guided tools and personal or organizational support are available when they fit your next decision.

Will Kristi personally review my answers?

The diagnostic result and brief follow your selected answers; they are not individually reviewed. You can request a personal follow-up in the form. Private advice, working sessions, and implementation are separate engagements with an agreed scope.
