Kenshin Compass


Achieving Operational Harmony (Wa)

Beyond Efficiency. Beyond Burnout.

Are you a Project Manager trapped in a cycle of burnout

You took this job to lead, deliver, and create value—but lately, you feel less like an architect moving toward operational excellence and more like a reactive firefighter putting out the fires of bad business decisions. Your days are an exhausting scramble of urgent tasks, long hours, and the sinking feeling that there must be a better way to do this work.

You believe there is a higher level of performance possible—one that doesn’t demand your personal sacrifice. You’re right.

The Unique Solution: Harmony

The ultimate relief and antidote to a burned-out Project Manager is achieving Personal Harmony (Wa)—a state in which you no longer operate solely on constant, reactive effort. Instead, you operate through consistent, disciplined practice of making small adjustments that align with your desired direction.

The Kenshin Compass is not just another time management course; it is a 12-week intensive coaching program designed to help you build this system. The Japanese term 献身 (Kenshin) can be interpreted as dedication and commitment. Our goal is to transform you from a reactive firefighter into a thoughtful architect who delivers exceptional organizational results without sacrificing your well-being through that dedication.

The Transformation

This is the promise of Kenshin Compass:

  • Understand your Personal Harmony: You will define what true harmony means for you, moving beyond generalized productivity advice.
  • Design your system: You will create a repeatable roadmap and process to build a better, more harmonious life.
  • Deliver high results, sustainably: You will learn how to leverage discipline and system design to drive success for you and your organization, while consistently protecting your time and energy.

Why I Built This For You

I created Kenshin Compass because this was once me.

I know the exhaustion, the long hours, and the frustration of knowing I was capable of more, but feeling trapped by the chaos. This coaching program is the exact system I was forced to create to break that cycle. It is proven by my own life and by the successes of those I’ve mentored. I am teaching you the solution that saved me, so you don’t have to spend years figuring it out on your own.

From Burnout to Brilliance

Beyond the fact that it is a system that I use for myself daily, here are some comments from a few of my past mentees that prove the effectiveness of this system:

🏆 “Steve made this process, which can be very daunting, simple, and it was a very effective starting point because it helps inform everything that comes next.” Zaher Hulays-Seattle, WA

🏆 “The biggest lesson I would say that I would take away from this is about its power to transform. Not just at work. My life, and the way I tackle problems or issues, are different.” Kevon Johnson-Seattle, WA

This is the dual outcome of Operational Harmony: tangible career advancement and more importantly a profound increase in daily satisfaction and well-being.

A Note on Availability (This is Not a Tactic)

To maintain the quality, depth, and personalized attention required, and to preserve my Operational Harmony, I will open only 3 cohorts each year, with a maximum of 8 clients per cohort.

This is not a scarcity tactic; it is simply the maximum number of people I can genuinely support over the long term. If there is a spot available, it is an opportunity that will not be available again soon.

Cohort #1 Starts February 2026

Cohort #2 Starts June 2026

Cohort #3 Starts September 2026

Final Objections Addressed

You might be hesitant. That is natural. Let’s address the three things that stop Project Managers like you from changing their lives:

Your HesitationThe Truth
“I can’t afford this right now.”This is an investment in your future, not an expense in your present. Your current exhaustion is costing you promotions, job satisfaction, and time with your family. Look past your current state and decide who you want to become: the reactive firefighter or the thoughtful architect?
“The Japanese terminology sounds too complicated.”I will break down every concept into easy-to-understand, practical applications that are immediately relevant to your Monday morning workflow. This is coaching, not a history lesson.
“I don’t have time to take on a 12-week program.”The time sacrificed now equals much more time saved on the back end. We are building a system that will permanently reduce your firefighting, eliminate redundant work, and create the harmony you want in your life—freeing up hours every week, indefinitely.

It’s time to stop surviving and start designing.
