The Chatham Rooms
Private, off-record rooms forhonest leaders and heavy fathers.
The Chatham Rooms are small, curated conversations held under Chatham House Rule — where founders, executives, and fathers can speak plainly about power, family, faith, and consequence without performance or optics.
Mandate
What I am actually here to do
My work is for men and women who carry real weight — fathers, founders, and board-level leaders. The mandate is simple: to help them build strategies, cultures, and households that will stand before God, history, and their own children without shame.
That means bringing Scripture, hard market reality, and honest governance into the same room. No flattery. No motivational sugar. Just clear thinking, moral courage, and concrete decisions that respect both calling and consequence.
If we work together, it is because there is a serious mandate on your life and stewardship — and you are willing to be challenged, not entertained.
What actually happens in the room?
These are not networking events. They are working conversations with men and women who carry real weight: decisions that affect families, employees, congregations, or citizens.
- 6–12 people, carefully curated.
- 2–3 hour facilitated dialogue around a real theme.
- No performance, no recording, no social posting.
- Scripture, history, and strategy in one room.
Format, principles, and expectations
Under the Rule
What is said in the room can be used outside, but identities and affiliations are never attributed. Leaders need one place where honesty is not a risk to reputation.
Scripture & strategy
We draw from Scripture, history, psychology, and hard market reality. The point is not theory but wisdom you can act on on Monday morning.
No spectators
Everyone contributes. Everyone is accountable. You come to work on real questions — fatherhood, calling, power, money, and legacy — not to collect quotes.
