How to Stop Losing Proposals to Less Experienced Consultants Who Package Better and Price Lower
See the exact reason why, and how your method becomes impossible to confuse with theirs.
(Without lowering your rates, rewriting your About page again, or another positioning workshop)
Ready to stop sounding interchangeable with consultants who charge less than you?
Seven mornings, three minutes each.The problem underneath every lost proposal, every rewritten About page, every pipeline that dries up when delivery takes over, and what closes it at the root.
Is this for me?
If you see yourself in any of these:
• You're an experienced independent leadership consultant, executive coach, or organisational development practitioner with 10+ years experience.• You want the method you've been running on intuition to be something you can point to.• You want proposals to win because the thinking is distinctive, not only because someone already knows you.• You want your positioning to sound like the work you actually do, not another 'combines' or 'sits between' like every other consultant writes.• You're looking to build briefings your associates can actually run, so the work moves forward without you in the room.• You want to turn your method into workshops, diagnostics, or training programs that don't yet exist because the method itself was never articulated.• You know what to say when a prospect asks about your methodology, but the words come out generic anyway.• You refuse to claim what isn't yours, even when borrowed frameworks are outselling real work.
…then you should take a look at Author Your Method.

Here's what you'll see, surface, and act on by the end:
Day 1:
Why less experienced consultants keep winning the proposals you should have won
Day 2:
The words that come out when a prospect asks ‘what makes you different’, and why they cost you the deal
Day 3:
How the method you've been running on intuition gets surfaced and structured
Day 4:
A live demonstration: how one word revealed a hidden frame in my own methodology
Day 5:
What you'll get: your methodology ready for your next proposal, and the map of what it opens up
Day 6:
The commercial terrain that only becomes visible once your method is articulated
Day 7:
Why doing this alone takes months (and what closes the gap in weeks)
Most leadership consultants have built distinctive frameworks through practice. Almost none of them can fully articulate how those frameworks actually work.Closing that gap means giving form to what you know implicitly, so what runs through your work stands as a methodology you've authored. The engine underneath your proposals, positioning, and content, ready to compound across everything you build.

About Dave de Bakker
I articulate proprietary methodology for independent leadership consultants and executive coaches. What's been available in the room starts being available everywhere: in proposals, in associate briefings, in the offerings the method makes possible.What shaped the work:• A career across startups, agencies, and government institutions. Strategy and innovation, building bespoke frameworks for leaders and teams who needed their own thinking made concrete enough to act on. One engagement at a time, until I turned the surfacing itself into a method.• Built 'Inner Authority Reclamation' as the first proof of concept: a full leadership depth-practice methodology surfaced through the same process I bring to a client engagement.• Two Master's degrees in Neuropsychology and Behavioral Science. That background shapes the protocol I built, because it's why I understand how expertise becomes invisible to its own owner.
