The Lisbon Essentials
What’s In a Name?

The Lisbon Sessions is a riff on Keith Jarrett’s The Koeln Concert, often called The Cologne Sessions. The recording of Jarrett’s 1975 performance is the best-selling solo album in jazz history.
Entirely improvised on piano, Jarrett achieved a spiritual resonance with his concert that transcends the moment, the experience of the immediate audience, entire generations. It is a testament to what can happen when a gifted human overcomes real and immediate challenges, trusts their skill, and serves as a channel for greater inspiration.
Improvisation, this former professional theatre director knows, succeeds when it unleashes a set of very granular skills into fresh and unexpected application.
That is the spirit of our work in The Lisbon Sessions.

What Happens in a Lisbon Session?
1. You and I spend a day together in Setubal.
Setubal is a commercial fishing port on Lisbon’s South Bank, 40 minutes South of the City Center.
2. We grab a meal the night before.
I take you out for dinner the night before in one of Setubal’s exceptional dining establishments.
3. We work on your business.
The entire day is devoted to creating a shift in your business. While I have a set of very specific tools I call on, the process in our session will be entirely customized and unique to you.
4. We have pre-selected goals.
We will have established clear success markers before we ever meet in Setubal.
5. We exceed our expectations.
I am committed to creating an experience that uncorks strategic insight and tactical applications that exceed these success markers.
