Some problems cannot wait for a keynote.
When workplace culture starts affecting your people, performance, and reputation, you need more than a meeting, or a keynote—you need a clear path forward.
Jess Pettitt partners with businesses, educational institutions, nonprofits, and associations to identify the root causes of workplace culture challenges and develop practical strategies that create healthier, stronger organizations.
Book a Free 30-Minute ConversationEvery workplace has challenges. Some are small enough to work through internally. Others become expensive, distracting, and increasingly difficult to ignore. That’s when an outside perspective can make all the difference.
Jess helps organizations step back, understand what’s really driving workplace conflict or cultural friction, and develop practical solutions that leaders can confidently implement. Whether the issue involves communication, leadership alignment, employee concerns, organizational change, or an overall culture that no longer reflects your values, Jess provides experienced guidance that helps organizations move from uncertainty to clarity—and from reaction to intentional action.
Every organization is different, which is why every advisory engagement begins with understanding your unique situation. Before recommending a strategy or long-term engagement, Jess takes the time to assess what’s happening, identify the underlying challenges, and determine the most effective path forward. That process begins with the Foundation Audit.
Where every engagement begins
The Foundation Audit
The Foundation Audit is the smallest version of the work. Ninety minutes. One conversation. Two senior leaders in the room. Five days later, an eight-page report in your inbox.
Ninety minutes. One conversation.
We walk the path of your specific situation: Make the Numbers. Hold the Line. Earn the Room. Plant the Flag. Outlast the Cycle. We document your six Elements of Culture and rank the misalignments. By the end of the call, we both know where the mess actually lives, what the path out requires, and in what order. You leave pointed in the right direction.
What you walk out with: an eight-page report mapping the next 30 days, plus an honest answer to one question. What does the next step look like? Some Foundation Audits end with “you do not need anything else from me.” Most do not.
If the audit ends with a recommendation
Three Engagements. One Path.
Your Diagnostic score tells us which one fits. Every engagement is a fixed professional-services fee, scaled to the size and scope of your organization and quoted in writing before we begin. The fee does not move after we start. There is no haggling and no upsell pressure.

The Response Engagement
One Month · All Hands
The work is triage, contain, and rebuild, in that order. You have my undivided attention three days a week for the first two weeks. I am within reach any time of day for the full month. By the end, the immediate fire is out and the rebuild is staffed by people you trust to finish it.

The Readiness Program
Three Months
For the leader who wants the work done before anyone reports the smell of smoke or notices a single flame. We put the leaders and procedures in place around you. We install the rituals. We prioritize the defenses together until the system monitors and adjusts on its own. Insurance for the holes ahead.

The Alignment Program
Nine Months
A maintenance engagement rooted in our working relationship. We pick the area that hurts most. We check in weekly. We rebuild an aligned workplace culture from the foundation up and replicate the work outward across your team. By the end, the situation that brought you here is no longer a situation.
Discretion Is the Deal
Discretion is the same at every tier. NDAs are signed before the first meeting. There is no public client list. There is no testimonial program. The work does not appear in your annual report. Your competitors do not know you called. This is the deal, and the deal is non-negotiable.
One conversation. No commitment.
If the Diagnostic says you need me, you will know it before I do.
