I've a much clearer picture on my strategy, my goals, and my own inner game. I'd recommend Xquadrant to senior execs who want to make 10X impact.
This is the 10X Reckoning that every elite leader faces:
Will you settle for success, or ignite your greatest work?

Hello! I’m the founder of Xquadrant and creator of The 10X Reckoning.
I work with visionary CEOs and entrepreneurs who are already winning—but know it’s time to lead at another level.
After becoming the youngest-ever Partner at a top consultancy and leading strategic initiatives at Cisco, I chose to leave the safe path and step into my own 10X Reckoning. Now I help elite leaders do the same.

Founder & CEO
Thanks to the methodology and Richard's creativity, I've gone deep on myself and my business, and our team has really come together. Recommended for any CEO who wants to become a better leader.
CEO, EPIC
My time with Richard was immensely insightful, helping me deal with high stress situations and observe patterns of my behaviour that need work.
Founder & Chairman
Richard is a true trusted advisor who quickly adds value at a personal and team level. It's another league compared with programmes I've experienced before.
Group CEO, Logicalis
I don't think I'd get anything like the same level of pushback or challenge elsewhere. I'd recommend Richard to anyone who wants to focus on the bigger issues.
Co-CEO, Ecovadis
Very strong business acumen - we quickly zoom in on the key issues. And there's a real focus on creating real, lasting change.
CEO
It's been a really fulfilling experience. The intermingling of strategic thinking, professional development and personal growth is extremely powerful.
CEO, Telestream
It's been incredibly valuable. There's an intimacy and self-reflection that I haven't got from any other programme I've been in.
Every successful leader hits a wall.
