Institutional credibility, commercially unstructured.

See the whole practice

Post-office restrictions come first

Former officials operate under cooling-off periods and disclosure obligations. Structuring commercial work correctly protects the credibility being sold.

Corporate audiences pay for interpretation

Boards want policy translated into commercial consequence, which is a different skill from having made policy.

Advisory follows speaking

Board and advisory roles frequently originate from a speaking engagement, which changes how the circuit should be approached.
