Retainer Partnership Options
Why a Retainer?
Your career and leadership decisions shouldn’t be made in isolation — especially when the stakes are high, the timeline is short, and the consequences are lasting.
A retainer with Charter Career Strategies gives you:
Priority access to a trusted strategic partner who knows your goals, constraints, and decision-making style.
Reserved time each month for deep strategic work — without the delays or uncertainty of hourly scheduling.
Confidential counsel to test ideas, evaluate opportunities, and navigate challenges before they become crises.
This is not a program or a course. It’s an ongoing relationship built on judgment, discretion, and results.
How It Works
We work together on a monthly retainer that secures a set level of access and contact time. You choose the intensity:
Foundation — reserved time each month for targeted strategic sessions and follow-up.
Momentum — increased frequency for ongoing progress and rapid decision support.
Acceleration — high-intensity engagement for major transitions, high-visibility opportunities, or complex leadership challenges.
The retainer ensures that when you need perspective — whether planned or unexpected — I am available. We don’t meter minutes. We focus on outcomes.
Career Stages Served
