How an introduction works.

You are likely here because a man you care about is quietly losing his grip on his own life. Often the visible edge is drinking too much, resulting in a marriage coming apart, a slow disappearance from his own life, or a pattern of behavior he can no longer control.

If you are close to him and thinking of putting this in front of him, there are two ways in. Send him the talk, with no agenda attached. If that lands, send him here. Or reach me directly, before he does, and tell me what you are seeing. We can schedule a call. I will listen to you, and I will tell you honestly what is possible from here, even when the honest answer is hard. That conversation is confidential and commits him to nothing.

And when you put it in front of him, the ask is smaller than you think. The work begins with The First Ten Days: a private assessment or stabilization, in complete confidence. This commits him to nothing beyond the ten days, and he will leave with a path-forward plan either way. You are not asking him to sign up for a program or admit to a diagnosis. You are asking him to look at his own life honestly for ten days.

A good referral is never a push. It is a quiet, pressure-free hand-off, and one honest conversation with me about how to make it.

If what ties you to him is also financial, whether a company, a partnership, or a balance sheet you share, read For his board and advisors as well. The confidentiality architecture and the stabilization timeline are addressed there.
