Work with me

Consulting, Training and Coaching

I work with individuals and small groups on business, on personal growth, and on the ground between the two. Every engagement is quoted and agreed in writing before any work begins.

What I offer

Business owners and leaders

Consulting

Operations, technology, and process work for small and mid sized businesses. Thirty years of starting, running, and selling companies in Alaska, and the systems thinking I learned doing battalion automation support before that.

Reviewing how a business actually runs, as opposed to how it is described
Technology strategy, and whether a company's systems are a cost or an advantage
Process and workflow, including what to automate and what to leave alone
Planning work: business plans, operating structure, and growth decisions

Individuals and small groups

Training

Structured sessions delivered one on one or to a small group. Built around what a group actually needs rather than a fixed curriculum, and scoped in writing before we start.

One on one sessions, remote or in person in Anchorage
Small group sessions for teams, families, or organizations
Readiness and preparedness training, the subject of Family Adventure in Readiness
Communication and influence, the subject of The Art of Connection

Individuals

Coaching

Personal growth, business, and self help coaching. This is conversation and accountability work: I ask questions, we look at what is actually happening, and you decide what to do about it.

Personal growth and direction
Business coaching for owners and people who want to become owners
Self help work grounded in the same material I write about
Sessions run one to one and a half hours, remote or in person

What it costs

The rate is quoted before any service is provided. There is no price list here, because what it costs depends on the scope, the format, and how many people are involved. Quoting it properly means understanding the job first.

All prices are quoted and charged in US dollars (USD). The quoted rate is the full price: no booking fees, no administrative fees, nothing added afterwards. There are no subscriptions and nothing auto renews. If the scope changes, I requote before doing the extra work.

Payment is by invoice through Stripe, which accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. No payment is collected on this website and no card details are entered here. Full terms, including cancellation and refunds, are on the terms of service page.

Services are sold by Wheeler Productions, and Wheeler Productions is the name that appears on your invoice and on your card statement. If you see that name on a statement, this is what it was for.

How it works

01
Get in touch
Email or call and tell me what you are trying to do. This first conversation is free and carries no obligation.
02
We scope it together
We work out what would actually help, how long it would take, and whether I am the right person for it. Sometimes I am not, and I will say so.
03
You get a written quote
The rate, what is included, and the schedule, in US dollars (USD). Nothing is charged and no work starts until you have accepted it in writing.
04
We do the work
Sessions are delivered remotely by video or telephone, or in person in the Anchorage area. You are invoiced through Stripe; card details never touch this website.

Cancelling and refunds

Reschedule or cancel any session at no charge with at least 24 hours notice. Sessions you have paid for but not yet taken are refundable in full at any time. If the first session is not right for you, tell me and I will refund it in full, no explanation required.

Refunds go back to the original payment method, usually within five business days. Ask by email at mike@w2b.cc and I will answer within two business days. The full policy is in the terms of service.

What this is not

Coaching is not therapy, counseling, or medical or mental health treatment, and I do not provide any of those. I am not a licensed therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, or physician, and this is not a substitute for care from someone who is. If you are working with a clinician, keep working with them.

Consulting is not legal, tax, or financial advice. Take professional advice before decisions that carry legal or financial consequences.

I do not guarantee outcomes. No result, income, or personal change is promised or implied. What you get out of this depends mostly on what you put into it.

If you are in crisis, do not wait for a session. In the United States, call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911 if someone is in immediate danger.
