Strategic Advisory
For Executives and Leadership Teams
I work with select CEOs and executive teams to provide targeted strategy, real-time expert guidance, and continuous support to help them navigate big decisions with clarity and confidence.
In high-pressure environments, even small missteps can be costly. You get direct access to expert guidance rooted in behavioral science, so you can move faster, avoid blind spots, and align your team when it matters most.
Whether you're rolling out a new strategy, tackling a team challenge, or just need a second opinion, I’m here to help you pressure-test your thinking and make smart, science-backed decisions.

What Leaders Are Saying
Hear from leaders who’ve transformed their teams.
“I have learned more tangible, actionable strategies out of my work with Ron, about how to work day-to-day, than I did at Harvard Business School. What Ron has done that’s so unique is he’s combined his academic expertise with the range of experiences now of extremely high- level executives in a number of industries to come up with a program that works.”
Manisha Thakor

“Ron gave me a simple but powerful framework for leading more effectively. I used to give direction in the style that I preferred—but now I understand how to tailor my leadership so others can do their best work. It’s helped me step back with confidence, knowing my team has clarity and autonomy. That peace of mind is priceless.”
Mark Hayward
Partner, Westminster Wealth
“I used to think leadership was about having the answers. What I’ve learned through working with Dr. Friedman is that it’s more about asking the right questions—and giving people the space to step up. That shift has changed everything. I now spend less time checking work and more time aligning people around purpose. The result is we’re now moving faster, with fewer bottlenecks and a stronger team. Working with Ron reshaped how I lead and gave me a framework I’ll be using for the rest of my career.”
