Many companies try to eliminate errors, and fail
I show leaders why errors are just symptoms, and how to address the deeper problem, so everyone can work more reliably and safely.
One day, an electrical engineer walked into a substation, flipped the wrong switch, and accidentally shut down a power plant. Because of that error, his company wound up paying about $1,000,000 per day until it was fixed.
I help leaders like you prevent errors like that.
Many people think of errors as defects. They try to eliminate all errors with detailed procedures, strict compliance, and zero tolerance.
Over many years, I saw how this mechanistic approach creates fear, rewards silence, and punishes innovative experts and truth-tellers.
So, I collected the most effective strategies and skills from:
-
My service as a firefighter, an EMT, and a military paratrooper
-
My Ph.D. research, and 20 years of experience teaching adults
-
Hundreds of stories of technical experts working in high-hazard industries like yours
That's what I give you when we work together.

“The kind of long-term, deep mentoring that Jake does compounds over time and generates far more valuable results than any class or presentation by itself.”

“Jake led a workshop at an exclusive, invitation-only retreat that I run called the Satoshi Roundtable, which is a gathering of top blockchain CEOs and developers.
Jake’s presentation was perhaps the most well received among an audience with very high standards.”
