Work with DeadThree

One system. Four ways in.

Every engagement runs on the SDE Framework: Standards, Discipline, Execution. Start where your team is today. Every path leads to the same place: a team that runs on a system, not on you.

How it works

From first click to a team that runs itself.

Take the assessment

30 questions, free. Find your team's weakest pillar before we ever talk.

Book a call

30 minutes with George. We look at your score and what your team is up against.

Pick your start

A day workshop to start fast, or the 9-Week Program to install the whole system.

Keep it running

Retake the assessment at Week 9. Season 2 keeps the standard up.

The main eventFor teams

The SDE 9-Week Program

In 9 weeks your team stops running on effort and starts running on a system. Written standards everyone can name, a weekly rhythm that holds them, and a scoreboard that shows the score in real time.

Length9 weeks
Team size5 to 200
InvestmentLet's talk

Your team leaves with

  • Team Standards, written and owned by the team
  • A weekly operating rhythm, every meeting tied to a standard
  • The 3-part 1:1, run with every direct report
  • Weekly outcomes and a scoreboard everyone can read
  • A 90-day plan and a before/after SDE score

It worked if, at Week 9

  1. Every team member can name the standards without prompting.
  2. The weekly rhythm runs without the leader pushing it.
  3. The team can state the score in real time.
Standards Weeks 1–3
WK 1EncouragementDefine what elite looks like on your team
WK 2MindsetWrite standards people can actually use
WK 3PurposeTeam Standards, final, walked through with the team
Discipline Weeks 4–6
WK 4OwnershipWeekly operating rhythm, every meeting tied to a standard
WK 5EmpathyThe 3-part 1:1, run with every direct report
WK 6Decision-MakingHold the line when discipline slips
Execution Weeks 7–9
WK 7WinningThree weekly outcomes, one owner each
WK 8ResultsThe scoreboard: 3–5 metrics everyone can see
WK 9Execution90-day plan and retake the SDE Assessment
Every week runs the same: teach → exercise → field work → bring a real artifact to the next session. Before Week 1, every leader takes the SDE Assessment. Between sessions, the team checks in daily on the DeadThree app.

The way in

Day workshops.

One day, on site with your team. The fastest way to feel the system before you commit to the full 9 weeks.

SDE

Set the Standard

Your team defines what elite looks like and writes it down. Standards everyone can name, built in the room.

  • What elite looks like on your team
  • Standards written as behaviors, not values
  • The first draft of your Team Standards
Then: the 9 weeks build the discipline and execution around it.
Team building

The Nine Principles

EMPOWERED, live. Your team works through all nine principles and writes its own "On our team" lines.

  • Encouragement through Decision-Making
  • Where your team is strong and where it slips
  • Your team's own lines to live by
Then: the 9 weeks turn the lines into weekly habits.
Leaders

Leadership Execution

For the leadership team. Clear outcomes, clear owners, and a scoreboard you can run on Monday.

  • Three weekly outcomes, one owner each
  • The metrics that actually show the score
  • A meeting rhythm that holds the line
Then: the 9 weeks install it across the whole team.

Investment: let's talk. Every workshop is built for your team and your goals.

Keep it running

Season 2.

Week 9 isn't the finish line. It's the end of the first season. Season 2 is a monthly check-in that keeps the standard up and the system sharp while the team grows, changes and gets busy.

Talk about Season 2
After Week 9

What stays on

  • Monthly check-in with George on the standards, the rhythm and the score
  • Tune-ups when the team adds people or the work changes
  • The app keeps the daily check-in going
  • Retake the assessment to see the score move

Who it's for

A system, not a speech.

  • Your team has talent, but the results aren't consistent
  • You've tried the training day, and by Friday nothing changed
  • You're the only one holding the line, and it drops when you leave the room
  • You lead 5 to 200 people and want a method you can run, measure and repeat

Questions

What does it cost?

Every engagement is scoped to your team, so we talk price on a call. Book 30 minutes or email George and you'll get a straight answer.

Where should we start?

With the free SDE Assessment. It shows which pillar is holding your team back, and that tells us whether a workshop or the full 9 weeks is the right first move.

We're not ready for 9 weeks. Now what?

Start with a day workshop. Your team feels the system in one day, and you decide on the 9 weeks after.

How big does my team need to be?

The program is built for teams of 5 to 200. Smaller than that, 1:1 executive coaching is usually the better fit.

On site or virtual?

Workshops are on site. For the 9 weeks and 1:1 coaching, we'll set the format that fits your team on the call.

What happens after Week 9?

Your team retakes the SDE Assessment so you can see the score move. Season 2 keeps it running with a monthly check-in.

Every engagement starts the same way

Start with a conversation.

A free 30-minute call with George. Bring your SDE score if you have it. You'll leave with a clear next move, whether or not we work together.
