Morks Edge
Mork's Edge is a high intensity, results driven executive advisory engagement designed for CEOs, founders, and senior leaders navigating the hardest inflection points of their careers. This is not generic leadership development. This is a bespoke program built from 20+ years of operating experience across Google, Silicon Valley startups, and global marketing leadership in six industries and eleven countries. Here is what you get: The Mork Mirror™: A proprietary leadership diagnostic built from five assessment lenses (personality, strengths, saboteurs, values, and working style) synthesized into one integrated profile. This is not a personality quiz. It is a brutally honest, 30+ page portrait of who you are as a leader, what is quietly working against you, and the specific shift that unlocks your next level. No other advisor builds anything like it. 12 Mork Guides™: Curated, practical frameworks covering topics from executive communication and delegation to managing conflict, building confidence, and strategic prioritization. These are not theoretical articles. They are field tested playbooks drawn from real situations with real leaders. Bi-weekly or weekly 60 minute live advisory sessions (virtual or in person) focused on the challenges you are actually facing. Every session ends with clear decisions, concrete next steps, and accountability. Scenario based role playing using real situations from your work. Board presentations, difficult conversations, investor meetings, team conflicts. We rehearse them live so you walk in sharp, not hoping for the best. Access to the Mork Leadership GPT, a custom AI practice environment where you can rehearse conversations, pressure test decisions, and build skills between sessions. A copy of Step Back and LEAP (bestselling book by Patrick Mork) with integrated leadership exercises that become part of your development arc throughout the engagement. This program is limited to 10 leaders per year. It is not a volume practice. Every engagement gets the full weight of Patrick's operating experience as former CMO at Google Play, two time founder, three time Silicon Valley CMO, INSEAD alumnus, and advisor to 50+ CEOs across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Africa.
What's included
I work as a strategic thought partner, not a traditional advisor who sits back and asks how things are going. Every session is structured around your real, active challenges. You bring the situation. I bring 20+ years of C suite operating experience, proprietary diagnostic tools, and a direct style that values truth over comfort. We start with the Mork Mirror™ diagnostic to build a complete picture of your leadership wiring, including the patterns that are helping you and the ones that are quietly holding you back. From there, we build a custom engagement arc. Typical structure is bi weekly or weekly 60 minute sessions over a minimum of three months, though most clients continue longer. Sessions are high tempo. We make decisions, rehearse difficult conversations, pressure test strategies, and build the leadership muscle that separates good operators from exceptional leaders. Between sessions, you have access to the Mork Leadership GPT for role playing and skill building, plus curated Mork Guides on the topics most relevant to your development. I only work with 10 leaders per year. If we are working together, you are getting the full depth of my attention, network, and experience. This is not a checkbox engagement. It is a genuine partnership built on candor, accountability, and results.
