LET US SUPPORT YOU to turn any negative impact into a positive impact.

 

We all have blind spots. We all impact others in ways we cannot know. Unless those you negatively impact have the courage to tell you. Unlikely.

 

The less powerful are less likely to tell you how you negatively impact their lives.

 

They feel too vulnerable. The fear suffering a worse fate. So they grow accustom to getting by the best they think they can. They survive, even as you thrive unknowingly at their expense.

 

We are here for you to turn this fate around, for the benefit of all.

​

Welcome!

 

You are likely here because you received a message we sent on someone’s behalf. Our client found the courage—with our backing—to contact you about some need you arguably impact.

 

You are likely in some position of authority over this client. Or influence their life in some way. From the client’s perspective, they are the less-powered one in a power imbalance with you.

 

We consider them the Impactee. They are impacted more by you than they impact you.

We consider you the Impactor. You impact them more than they arguably impact you.

 

They often feel coerced by your power to acquiesce to terms as given. When they can no longer take it, they contemplate their adversarial options. But it still feels like a no-win situation.

 

Instead of resorting to adversarial reactions, we offer the client and you a conciliatory approach. We empower each side to resolve each other’s impacted needs.

 

They get to turn a stressful situation into one of potential support.

You get to turn a situation of hidden conflict into one of brandable value.

 

 

The client’s options

Powerless clients typically avoid conflicts with those more powerful. You likely avoid conflict with those with resources far greater than you can access. So you can understand if the client has avoided dealing with this situation directly until now.

 

The client has a list of legitimate adversarial options we would like to replace with our conciliatory approach.

• Litigation

• Consumer complaint board

• Complaints to those in authority over you

• Industry watchdogs

• Sympathetic press

• Social media campaign

• Online negative reviews

• Word-of-mouth negativity

• Disruption of your revenue streams

• Propose legislation or local ordinances

• Absenteeism

• Presenteeism

• Non-cooperation

• and more

 

Each of these lets the client relieve some built up pain. But unfortunately at your expense. Let’s consider some better options, where both mutually respect each other’s affected needs.

 

 

Let’s not go there

If this smells like extortion, sniff again. Any stench rising up comes from you arguably “extorting” the client in ways privileged by gaps in the law.

 

Power lets you obtain things of value from them against their best interests.

 

If they cannot afford the same caliber of legal assistance as you, you are already at risk of privileged extortion over the powerless. We offer a preferred alternative to the distorting adversarial process of litigation, or other hostile reactions.

 

We stretch beyond mere relief of pain to remove the cause of pain, on both sides of this power relationship. The client is worth it. We think you are worth it too.

 

 

Your options

Your first obvious option is to simply ignore this. If you never take the time to read this, the client may well assume you are opting out of this opportunity.

 

They may have to resort to their adversarial options. They can only take so much. As you can only take so much from those in power over you.

 

Understandably, you can only do so much. Those in authority over you restrict your options. We call this “upchain,” as in up the chain of command. Let’s look at what you can do now. Click which best applies.
