Private Consulting · One Session

Stuck? Breakthru Consulting
gets your project moving.

Breakthru is a private consulting practice. You book a session — alone or with your team — and we work through the problem live, in 60 minutes.

We use a method called Cross-Modal Intentionality Mapping: instead of asking you direct questions, we mine your senses and subconscious thoughts, through structured associative prompts.

You leave with a detailed brief of actual next steps you can start the same day. It is not coaching or therapy — it's focused time on any kind of project.

A real conversation, recorded and sent back to you as a next steps plan.

The Method

Cross-Modal Intentionality Mapping

Thinking harder about a stuck project doesn't usually work. Creativity functions in mysterious ways.

CMIM works differently.

This is a simple method, of getting out your head and into your project, turning down the noise, and clarifying the signal.

CMIM has been used across film, venture, nonprofit and design — on everything from one stubborn scene to a whole company pivot.

It doesn't require any preparation. Just open minds, and the ability to play.

The Session

Recorded game, fun way to get to next steps.

PHASE 01 · IDENTIFY

Name what you're working on and where it's stuck. No judgment, no agenda.

PHASE 02 · RESPOND

Sensory and associative questions get you to your clearest answer faster than analysis ever will.

PHASE 03 · RESOLVE

An action plan and written report, in your hands the moment the session ends. Yours alone.

Access

Join the cohort today. 

I run every session myself, so there are only so many each month. Tell me a little about your project and we'll find a time.

Working on something that matters and not sure what comes next? That's the whole point of this.

Even one new idea or a fresh angle makes it worth the time.

Everything stays between us.
