Senior Leader Strategic Advisor

A 12-Month, One-on-One, Strategic Advisor Opportunity

For senior leaders who:

• Navigate ambiguity, transition, significant decision weight, & increased complexity
• Value wisdom, perspective, and discernment over tactics
• Need a trusted, confidential, and experienced though-partner

…then a Strategic Advisor may be the right fit.

Senior leaders are navigating a climate of ongoing uncertainty and accelerated change. The pressure to innovate beyond the core, align strategy with execution, and deliver meaningful value has never been greater, yet clarity is often harder to find.

In a rapidly changing global landscape, leaders benefit from a trusted advisor who can help them slow down, think strategically, and navigate complexity with confidence, without adding more tasks, projects, or noise.

Missio Nexus is launching a new collaboration with Rob Wassel, the founder of Tekton Advisory Group. Having worked alongside more than 100 organizations and coached over 200 senior leaders across diverse contexts, a Strategic Advisor offers an opportunity to leverage almost three decades of seasoned perspective and pattern recognition. While these challenges are often addressed through deep and costly consulting, this partnership offers something different: a lighter sustained advisory experience focused on judgment, discernment, and leadership clarity when decisions are timely.

The Strategic Advisor opportunity is designed for senior leaders who want a trusted, confidential thought partner: someone with significant advisory and coaching experience who brings clear observations, penetrating questions, and seasoned perspective to help leaders navigate uncertainty with greater confidence and clarity.

What the Advisor Provides:

• Clarity amid complexity: A space to slow down thinking, see patterns, and make sense of competing demands.
• Sound judgment under pressure: Support to test assumptions, surface blind spots, and strengthen decision quality.
• Real-time wisdom when it matters most: Limited on-demand access for time-sensitive moments when perspective is needed quickly.
• Confidential, experience-based counsel: Drawing on decades of leadership, organizational, and strategic experience across for-profit and non-profit environments.

The Strategic Advisor opportunity adds value to
senior leaders through ongoing monthly engagements
that address real-time challenges. It is a lighter and
more cost-effective alternative to deep-dive
Strategic Organizational Consulting.

This Strategic Advisor is Not:

• Consulting or project-based execution, but advisory support that helps leaders think clearly before acting.
• Performance coaching or skills training, but a space to strengthen judgment and discernment.
• Operational crisis management, but confidential advisory support during high-stakes or time-sensitive moments.

How the Strategic Advisor Engagement Works:

• Monthly scheduled advisory conversations. 
• Limited, near-real-time, on-demand (unscheduled) access for time-sensitive conversations. 
• Focused on sense-making, discernment, and strategic thinking. 
• Designed to complement, not replace, existing leadership teams or boards. 

This opportunity functions as an extension of your leadership capacity, helping you think more clearly, decide more confidently, and avoid costly missteps.

Testimonies

“Rob has an extraordinary capacity to separate the “wheat from the chaff” regardless of the complexity of the problem or challenge. In the many years that I have known him, Rob has always applied knowledge with experience and wisdom with discernment to problem solving at the strategic and tactical levels; he’s the person you always want on your team – whether leading the team or providing guidance. Rob’s high ethical standards always ensure that he delivers truth over fluff, but he delivers that advice and counsel with fairness and grace.” David Shedd – Director, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Ret.

“Rob is the perfect mix of experience, skills and empathy to help a lot of folks get to their next level.” General Gywn Armfield  – USAF Deputy Commanding General for US and Coalition Special Operations Forces in Afghanistan

“An inflection point is defined as a time when significant change occurs. Working with Rob Wassel, or should I say walking with Rob Wassel, has been an inflection point for me… personally, professionally, and spiritually. He skillfully walked me through a process that led to greater self-awareness and an understanding of how I should be investing my time and energy into efforts that will not only bring me deep joy but also bless others. Rob was and is my coach, but through the process he guided me through he became far more than that, he became a trusted friend and advisor.” Matthew Ellison –  CEO, 1615

NOTE: For leaders seeking deeper organizational engagement, Rob also offers an Executive and Organizational Advisor opportunity integrating advisory support with formal Executive Coaching. For organizations at critical inflection points such as growth, restructuring, leadership transition, or strategic realignment, a Strategic Transformation Partnership is available, resulting in a focused multi-year strategic plan.
