TLC design intensives help you untangle a specific strategic challenge, clear a roadblock, or rapidly map your priorities and emerge with a strong storytelling piece that you are excited to share.

The process is simple and entirely on-demand:

1. Book on your schedule: Select and purchase a 1-, 2-, or 3-hour slot directly through the site.

2. Complete the intake: You'll fill out a targeted pre-session survey so we can outline your deliverable(s) and build a customized agenda.

3. Discuss and evaluate: We hit the ground running the moment the call starts. We walk through a highly structured view process to get your feedback on every part of the narrative, the strategic plan, and the vision, depending on which session you choose.

4. Analyze and research: We record every session and carefully review the transcript to pull out insights and draft recommendations. We then conduct additional research to finalize recommendations and create one or more planning or storytelling deliverables.

5. Plan and act: You receive your deliverable(s) within 5 business days so you can execute your next steps with ease and efficiency.

6. Discuss and revise: The final optional step is a 30-minute call plus up to three rounds of revisions to address any concerns or questions, make any necessary changes, and hand off the deliverable(s).

Pricing is transparent and flat-rate, reflecting the expanding scope and strategic depth at each tier:

• Story ($3,750): A focused, 1-hour live session designed to turn a clearly defined need into a polished storytelling product.

• Strategy ($6,250): A 2-hour live session that evaluates multiple opportunities, defines your primary need, and delivers both a detailed strategic roadmap and a polished storytelling product.

• Vision ($8,500): Our most comprehensive engagement focused around a 3-hour live session. Maps your broader landscape, business model, and surrounding challenges to deliver a complete landscape map, strategic plan, and polished storytelling product.

Every engagement includes deep-dive pre-session analysis, live collaboration, synthesis, a 30-minute follow-up alignment call, and up to three rounds of revisions.

Payment is due upon booking to secure your live working session and initiate pre-session intake analysis.

Your investment covers much more than just the time we spend together on the call. To ensure we maximize every minute of live collaboration, every intensive includes:

• Pre-Session Tailoring: We review your pre-session survey responses and build a customized agenda and one or more deliverables specific to your goals.

• Live Facilitation: Complete focus and dedication to helping you achieve your goals during our 1- to 3-hour session.

• Post-Session Synthesis: A comprehensive write-up delivered straight to your inbox, outlining our session insights, research-backed recommendations and confirmed list of deliverables.

• At Least One Fully Finalized Deliverable within five business days of the session. Up to three rounds of revisions are included.

• A 30- to 90-Minute Follow up Call to discuss your results and any needed revisions. This step is optional if you don’t need it.

The Pre-Session Tailoring is specifically designed to start the alignment process before we meet in person. You aren't walking into a generic session; you are walking into a space TLC has curated based on your current project scope, stated goals, and opportunities and challenges. By the time we speak, our team will have already mapped out an agenda that meets you where you are and where you want to go, and one or more deliverables expressly designed to bridge that gap.

We created the TLC design intensive as a flexible and efficient format to avoid the drift and scope creep that can make long consulting engagements expensive and hard to evaluate. Instead of paying upfront for an expensive long-term process that may not deliver results, you get a focused tool designed to fit your exact needs on your schedule.

If you book additional sessions with TLC, you will get the same precise focus, efficient structure for collaboration, and standard of care and quality for each session and output.

Not at all. While these intensives are excellent for kicking off new initiatives, they are equally effective as mid-arc interventions. Whether you are transitioning between project phases, hitting a wall with your current strategy, or need an objective, expert eye to pressure-test your assumptions, TLC design intensives provide the focused clarity required to recalibrate your efforts and regain momentum.

Think of a TLC design intensive as a strategic force multiplier. While your project likely involves months of execution, there are often critical milestones and moments where you need focused effort and execution to move quickly.

This intensive is designed to break that deadlock and move you forward in real-time.

TLC is an empathetic partner for your deepest challenges and most ambitious ideas. Our approach bridges two worlds: an appreciation for expansive, big-picture imagination, and a rigorous commitment to research-driven and human-centered design.

When you work with us, you get a partner who can hold space for a massive vision while ensuring every single step to get there is mapped and validated by real-world results.

Expect our intensives to be:

• Highly focused and uniquely attuned: We dive straight into the heart of your specific challenge.

• Deeply collaborative: We don't hand you passive templates; we build, reframe, and organize alongside you in real-time.

• Grounded in utility: We take tangled operational bottlenecks and translate them into a clear, elegant, and executable roadmap.

You bring the complexity; we bring the clarity.
