Verified Review

Working with John has provided me with clarity on our tremendous market opportunity and a clear strategic roadmap. Perhaps more important is that I have had an objective advisor who is able to help navigate the road ahead with certainty. My day to day tasks are much clearer and I've found myself being far more productive and achieving new revenue and development milestones. If you don't have a strategy coach like John Vetere in your corner, you are making a huge mistake! I've known John for almost eight years and wish I had engaged him much sooner.

When I was introduced to John during a series of post-Covid business challenges, I learned the importance and impact of strong executive coaching. John digests complex and fast-changing information and skillfully responds with feedback, frameworks and resources that have broadened and stretched my thinking. The ability to test ideas outloud with a Board-level yet unbiased advisor has allowed me to think more boldly and uncover strategic approaches through countless challenges. John brings both a broad and deep business acumen, culled from his own entrepreneurial experience as well as his experience coaching a wide variety of people across industries. Perhaps most importantly, he dives in as a true thought partner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Strategic Advisory Intensive

Is this just another peer group or mastermind?

No. This is a facilitated, strategy-driven intensive. While peer interaction is a benefit, the core of this experience is structured coaching, customized assessments, and targeted problem-solving. It's built around your firm’s specific growth challenges—and delivered with hands-on facilitation and feedback from me directly.

What kind of firms is this designed for?

This is specifically for civil engineering, structural, MEPFP, and architecture firms doing between $1M and $5M in annual revenue, with 5–20 employees. It’s for leaders who are ready to take a hard, honest look at what’s working—and what’s not—in order to grow strategically.

What if my biggest challenge is marketing or sales?

That’s exactly the kind of issue we’ll address. Many firms in this space rely too heavily on referrals or founder-led sales. We’ll explore how to build a more consistent pipeline, clarify your message, and align your marketing and sales efforts with the future growth of your firm.

How is this different from hiring a consultant or joining a full-year program?

This is a focused, high-impact 2-month reset. You’ll get the core insights, tools, and frameworks I use with long-term clients—compressed into a short timeframe. It’s faster, more affordable, and designed to jumpstart action without the longer commitment. We offer a year-long program if that interests you, but this program may be all you need.

What if I’m not sure what my firm’s biggest issue is?

That’s actually a great place to start. We use strategic, leadership, and culture assessments upfront to help diagnose where the friction is—so you don’t waste time treating symptoms instead of causes. You’ll gain clarity fast, and we’ll prioritize the work that moves the needle.

Will I get personalized input, or is it all group-based?

You’ll get both. You’ll have 1-on-1 debrief and planning sessions with me, plus ongoing opportunities during group sessions to receive targeted feedback. We cap the group intentionally so that every participant gets individual attention.

Why are seats limited?

Because this isn’t about scale. It’s about impact. I want to be in the trenches with you—listening, challenging, and coaching in real time. That only works when the group stays tight, focused, and deeply engaged.

Is there any competitive overlap in the group?

No. We curate the group intentionally to avoid competitive overlap. That way, you can speak freely about real issues—staffing, pipeline, margins, retention—without holding back or guarding your cards.

How much time do I need to commit?

Four live sessions—2 hours each, spread over two months. Plus one leadership and strategic assessment debrief and two additional private consults with me. You’ll also receive resources and tools, but the goal is clarity and momentum—not overwhelm. This is designed to fit within the bandwidth of a busy leader.

What happens after the program ends?

You’ll leave with clarity, a custom development plan, and tools you can continue using. Some participants continue with private consulting or join our longer-term programs—but the goal is for this Intensive to deliver immediate traction and lasting direction, regardless of what’s next.
