The Engagement Catalog · Ocala, Florida
Walk Into The Larger Room With The Plan Already Drafted.
Four ways to work with Needle & Thimble — each a fixed, per-engagement scope agreed in writing before the first session. No hourly meter, no open-ended retainer. Below, every engagement, every inclusion, every figure.
The Core Engagements
Three Fitted Scopes, Priced In Full
Each engagement is run end-to-end by one principal — the measurements and the coaching are never handed off. The figure quoted is the figure invoiced; it is settled before a single session is scheduled.
The 90-Day Onboarding
A fixed 90-day plan for one newly promoted leader. We take the measurements first — a full 360° read — then draft the priorities, stakeholder map and early wins against your real calendar, and coach you through them week by week.
- Intake & 360° assessment
- Written 90-day onboarding plan
- Weekly 1:1 coaching, 13 weeks
- Closing written review
Director + Team
The full onboarding plan, joined by structured team coaching for the group the new director now leads. We fit the individual and the function together — decision rhythms, meeting discipline and the handoffs that fray first as a team grows.
- Everything in the onboarding plan
- Stakeholder 360°s across the team
- Four structured team sessions
- Fitted to one leadership function
Quarterly Development
An ongoing 12-week cadence once the onboarding seam is finished. Continued leadership development for the director plus recurring team sessions, reviewed and renewed quarter by quarter — never an open commitment.
- Biweekly 1:1 development sessions
- Two recurring team sessions
- End-of-quarter written checkpoint
- Renewed only by agreement
Unsure which scope fits the role you have just stepped into? Send the particulars; we will recommend one in writing.

What Holds True Across The Catalog
Regardless of which engagement you choose, four standards are stitched into every scope — the practice conventions an established firm does not bill as extras.
One Principal, Start To Seam
The same coach conducts your intake, writes your plan and runs your sessions. Your context is never re-explained to a second pair of hands.
A Figure Fixed In Writing
The engagement price is agreed before the first session and does not move with the hours. No meter, no surprise line items on a later invoice.
You Read It First
360° read-outs and progress summaries reach you before anyone else. Sponsors receive only what you have reviewed; 1:1 sessions stay closed.
Standalone & Add-On Work
Pieces You Can Commission On Their Own
Not every situation needs a full 90 days. These scopes stand alone or attach to an existing engagement — each priced, like everything else, before the work begins.
Standalone 360° Read
Structured interviews with your manager, peers and reports, returned as a written read-out you see first — commissioned without a coaching engagement.
$2,400Per readLeadership Team Session
A single facilitated day for an intact leadership group — decision rhythms, meeting discipline and the handoffs that need re-stitching. Run at the Ocala studio or on site.
$3,200Per dayStakeholder Mapping Session
A focused half-day drafting your stakeholder map and first-90-day priorities — for a director who wants the pattern without the full baste.
$1,150Half dayIntake opens within two weeks of a signed scope. Reserve a fall onboarding slot before the quarter fills.

Before The First Session
What To Bring To The Fitting
The first conversation goes further when a few things are already on the table. None of it is homework — it simply lets us take sharper measurements on day one.
-
Your new mandate, in a sentence
What you were promoted to do differently — the reason the role grew, in the words you were given.
-
The names around the role
Your manager, your closest peers, and the reports who matter most to the first ninety days. We will interview, not assume.
-
Your real calendar
Standing meetings, review cycles and the first fixed deadlines. The plan is drafted against the weeks you actually have.
-
The one thing keeping you up
The part of the larger room that already feels unfamiliar. That is usually where the first seam gets stitched.
When the scope is clear, the fitting is quick. Send yours and we reply within two business days.
