Turn your vision into a company that can scale in 90 days.
Whether you’re a solopreneur founder, startup, or growing small business, we help you move from personality-driven hustle to a leadership operating system your team can actually run. In 90 days, we diagnose what’s holding you back, install clear priorities and rhythms, and build the structure that can carry your next level of growth.
- Strategic diagnosis before solutions: we map your vision, bottlenecks, and key metrics so everyone is clear on what must change in the next 90 days.
- Leadership + systems working together: we align roles, meetings, and decision-rights around the Circle of Growth™ operating system so the team is rowing in the same direction.
- Scale & succession, not just survival: we design processes, dashboards, and leadership habits that let the business grow beyond the founder—and move you closer to a real exit.

leadership, strategy & operations
Not coaching.
Not a framework.
A complete operating system.
Founded by Theodore “Teddy Bear” Schiele, MSLM — 25-year Army National Guard veteran and Executive Chairman of Altrium Holdings — we build leadership infrastructure that produces clarity, cadence, and outcomes. Not theory. Not slides. Systems.
We install the Circle of Growth™ OS into your team’s daily rhythm. It stays long after the engagement ends — owned permanently by your organization.
Every engagement is measured. Decisions, check-ins, and KPI movement are logged as proof. No ambiguity — just results your leadership can stand behind.
From SMBs to enterprise, we structure organizations to compete for government and anchor contracts with confidence and compliance.
Four pillars.
One system.
Every service is anchored in the Circle of Growth™ OS and designed to transfer full ownership to your team by Day 90.
Empowering individuals to lead with clarity, confidence, and lasting impact. We install habits, rhythms, and frameworks that turn managers into operators.
Unlocking pathways to professional growth and long-term success. From pipeline mapping to succession planning, we build the bench your organization needs.
Actionable strategies that drive growth, resilience, and competitive advantage. We don’t write playbooks that sit on shelves — we install operating cadence.
Streamlining systems so your organization runs without constant oversight. We find the friction, remove the waste, and install a rhythm that sustains itself.
The system we
install in your team.
Seven operating domains. One shared language. A repeatable cadence that translates intent into behavior, behavior into workflow, and workflow into measurable outcomes.

operational clarity.

Every engagement ends with receipts — before/after scorecards, logged decisions, and a measurable ROI narrative you can take to your board, investors, or agency sponsors.
We structure your organization to compete for government and enterprise contracts — compliance posture, org design, capability statements, and full capture strategy included.
