What do you lead?

Tell us about your work and where you operate. This gives Candice context for how the RISE framework applies to your specific situation.

Now the real questions.

This is where the application does the work of a sales call. Take your time. There are no correct answers — only honest ones. Candice reads every response personally.

Why these questions matter: The Mastermind room is only as powerful as the honesty of the people in it. These questions reveal whether you're ready to do real work in a real room — or whether this is the wrong moment.
Not the polished version. The real one. The thing you'd say at 2am if someone asked you what's actually going on.
Please answer this question — it's the most important one.
Courses, coaches, books, therapy, mentors — what have you invested in and what happened?
Please tell us what you've already tried.
If your first instinct is "it's not really the right time" — say that. And then explain why you're applying anyway.
Please answer this question.
Not abstract goals. Specific behaviors. How would you make decisions differently? What would you stop tolerating? What would you build?
Please answer this question.
1 = Not ready at all. 10 = I've been waiting for this room. And then tell us why you chose that number.
Not readyI've been waiting
Please select a number and explain.
Optional — but the fact that this question exists is intentional. The people who answer it honestly are often the ones who belong in the room most.

The investment.

Choose your payment option. Payment is processed only after your application is accepted — not before.

How this works: You select your payment preference here. If accepted, you'll receive an email within 48 hours with a payment link for your chosen option. The commitment is the same regardless of how you pay.

Be honest. If it's a stretch, say so and explain. This question exists because financial stress creates a different kind of presence in the room — and the room matters too much for that.
Yes — This is a real investment but it's manageable.
It's a stretch — I'm committed but I want to be honest about that.
Not right now — I'm applying but need to be transparent.

Review & Submit.

Read your responses one final time before submitting. Once submitted, Candice reviews personally within 48 hours. You will receive a decision — accepted, waitlisted, or declined — via email.

What happens after you submit: Candice reads every application herself. If accepted, you receive a payment link for your chosen option. If the timing or fit isn't right, you receive an honest note about why — and often a recommended next step. No ghosting.
I confirm that my responses are honest and complete. I understand that payment is processed only after acceptance, and that the commitment I'm making — regardless of payment plan — is a full 12-month engagement with the RISE Method™ Mastermind. *
Strategic Advisory Engagement · 90 Days · $25,000

The Advisory
Application

This application replaces a discovery call. Answer every question as if you're briefing a senior advisor before their first day. The more specific you are, the better Candice can assess whether this engagement will produce real results for your organization.

What's actually broken?

Diagnosis before prescription — always. These questions allow Candice to identify whether the engagement is appropriate and where the clarity work needs to happen first.

Be specific. Not: "We have communication issues." But: "My leadership team makes decisions in silos and I find out after execution. We've lost two major clients in 90 days because of it."
Not the sanitized version. The actual problem that keeps you up at night.
Please describe the primary problem.
Less than 6 months — it's recent
6 months to 1 year
1–3 years — it's been building
More than 3 years — it's systemic
Select all that apply.
Leadership alignment — leadership team not operating in the same direction
Strategy to execution gap — plans don't translate into consistent action
Operational systems — processes, documentation, and workflows are unclear or inconsistent
People and accountability — team isn't performing to standard and accountability structures are weak
Scaling complexity — growth is outpacing structure and things are breaking under the weight of it
Leadership transition — new leadership, restructuring, or major organizational change
Be specific — in dollars, in people, in opportunities missed, in your own time and energy.
Please answer this question.
Previous consultants, internal initiatives, training programs, hires — be honest about what didn't work and why.
Please tell us what you've already tried.

The work itself.

These questions assess readiness — not just for the engagement, but for the kind of honest diagnostic work that produces actual structural change.

Not "things will be better." Specific, observable outcomes. What decisions will your team make differently? What systems will exist that don't exist today?
Please describe specific success outcomes.
Yes — fully aligned They know and support it
Yes — aware but not fully bought in They know it's being considered
No — this is my decision alone I have authority to engage without team input
Uncertain I need to have that conversation
This is the most important question in the application. Advisory that protects leadership from honest diagnosis isn't advisory — it's theater.
Please answer this question honestly.
Complete chaosFully clear

The investment.

The advisory engagement is $25,000 for 90 days — fixed fee, split payment. No hourly billing, no scope creep conversations.

Payment structure: $12,500 at signing + $12,500 at Day 45. The fixed fee means our incentive is aligned — the goal is to solve the problem, not extend the engagement. If we finish the core work early, you keep the time.
Yes — Budget is approved and available
I am the decision maker — No separate approval needed
Needs approval — I'm applying to assess fit before internal budget conversation
It's a stretch — I want to be honest about that
As soon as possible — this is urgent
Q2 2026 (April–June)
Q3 2026 (July–September)
Later — I'm planning ahead
Fractional advisory ($3,500–$6,500/month) is available for ongoing embedded strategic presence after the 90-day engagement — or as a starting point for organizations not yet ready for the full engagement.
Yes — tell me more about fractional options
No — I'm focused on the 90-day engagement
Maybe — I'd like to know more before deciding

Review & Submit.

Candice reviews every advisory application personally. You will receive a response within 48 hours — accepted with a proposed start date, or a clear explanation of why the timing or fit isn't right.

What happens next: If accepted, you'll receive a proposed engagement agreement and the first payment link ($12,500). The engagement begins with the Strategic Assessment — the one diagnostic conversation that happens before any prescription is made.
I confirm that my responses are accurate and complete. I understand this application represents my organization's genuine interest in a $25,000 strategic advisory engagement, and that Candice will invest real time reviewing this before responding. *
