Real People.
Real Truth.
A Higher Calling.

I help executives, students, and everyday people rebuild the internal systems behind how they think, perform, and lead.

Work With Me
About Ian

What formed me now fuels the work.

My understanding of human transformation was not born in a classroom. It was forged through surviving assault as a teenager, surviving my own attempt to end my life in my late twenties, and years spent questioning everything I believed. Today that same understanding is used to help executives, students, and everyday people rebuild from the inside out.

I survived sexual assault as a young teenager, attempted to take my own life in my late twenties, and walked through many seasons of atheism while trying to understand how pain can alter the mind, body, identity, faith, and entire trajectory of a human life. What began as an attempt to understand myself eventually became a lifelong pursuit of understanding what makes human beings break, heal, adapt, perform, and ultimately evolve.

Over the years, I've worked with hundreds of clients and spoken in front of thousands of people across prisons, colleges, youth groups, institutions, biblical gatherings, and large stages. I've worked with men and women from radically different backgrounds, while developing a particular passion for young men navigating identity, discipline, pain, purpose, and the responsibility of becoming something greater than what their circumstances predicted.

Today, my work extends into some of the largest fintech companies in New York City, where I'm utilized as a Chief Human Performance Architect, working with executives operating under extraordinary levels of pressure. My role is to help reconstruct the internal architecture beneath performance by examining nervous system regulation, cognition, identity, behavior, neurochemistry, stress capacity, and decision making so leaders can increase efficiency and output while evolving as rapidly as the organizations they're responsible for leading.

Everything I do under Evolutionary Mindset comes back to one mission: understand what formed the human being, identify what is limiting them, and reconstruct the internal systems necessary for them to become who their circumstances never predicted they could be. My life taught me that pain can profoundly shape a person. My work is dedicated to proving that it doesn't have to have the final word.

REV15 is a Christ centered mission built for the one. The one who wandered. The one who was wounded, rejected, judged before they were discipled, or made to believe they didn't belong. The one who doesn't look religious enough, know enough Scripture, have their life together, or even know what they believe yet. The one who is still seeking, asking, knocking, or simply knows there has to be something more.

Inspired by Luke 15, we believe in the radical pursuit of Jesus: the Shepherd willing to leave the ninety-nine to pursue the one. That's why everyone is invited to COME AS YOU ARE. Whether you're deeply rooted in faith, new to it, have no faith, follow a different belief system, consider yourself spiritual, have never opened a Bible, or don't know Jesus at all, there is a seat for you here. Bring your questions, doubts, wounds, beliefs, and unfinished story. You will not be banished for thinking, talking, believing, or looking differently.

But coming as you are does not mean staying as you are. REV15 exists to cultivate transformation, to build relationships with real people, wrestle honestly with truth, and ultimately develop a deeper intimacy with and reverence for Jesus Christ.

And this will not look like traditional church. We gather around Scripture and tables, conversations and education, testimony and music, debates and relationships. We talk openly about faith, psychology, philosophy, sexuality, marriage, money, culture, purpose, doubt, and the human condition. We are creating a place outside the traditional four walls where people can have the conversations other rooms are afraid to have.

Religion found the 99, Jesus went looking for the one

Ian Taylor | Keynote Speaker

Human Beings Were Not Built To Live On Autopilot.

Ian speaks at the intersection of psychology, identity, leadership, faith, adversity, and transformation, challenging audiences to examine the internal architecture governing how they think, lead, perform, relate, and live.

Ian speaking to a full room Ian addressing a crowd Audience listening intently
The Differentiator

This Isn't Another Motivational Speech.

People do not need another speaker telling them to work harder. They do not need another acronym, or forty five minutes of emotional stimulation that disappears before they reach the parking lot.

Ian's work goes beneath behavior. Why do intelligent people repeatedly sabotage themselves? Why can someone understand exactly what needs to change and remain incapable of changing it? Why do leaders reproduce patterns they consciously despise? Why does adversity destroy one person while reconstructing another?

Drawing from human psychology, behavioral science, leadership, lived experience, and philosophy, Ian creates conversations designed not merely to motivate people, but to make them examine the architecture underneath the life they are building. The goal is not temporary inspiration. The goal is transformation that survives the event.

Signature Keynotes

What Ian Speaks On

01

The Human Operating System

Why knowing better doesn't always make us do better.

Human performance is not merely a question of motivation. Beneath behavior exists an operating system of identity, belief, conditioning, interpretation, emotion, habit, environment, and responsibility. Built on Ian's own ARISE Method, this keynote examines why capable people become trapped inside patterns they consciously want to escape, and what becomes possible when we stop treating symptoms and start confronting the system underneath them.

Ideal for corporate conferences, leadership teams, colleges, and performance environments
02

Becoming What Your Circumstances Never Predicted

Your history explains you. It does not have to imprison you.

Every human being inherits something: beliefs, wounds, expectations, fears, and family systems. But inheritance does not have to become destiny. This keynote explores adversity, identity, personal responsibility, and the difficult process of becoming someone your previous circumstances could not have predicted. It is not about pretending the past did not happen. It is about refusing to give it permanent authorship over the future.

Ideal for colleges, youth organizations, prisons, recovery environments, and community events
03

The Architecture of Leadership

Leadership begins before anybody follows you.

Organizations spend enormous resources teaching people how to manage others while ignoring the person doing the managing. Leadership exposes what already exists internally: ego, fear, insecurity, avoidance, discipline, and self awareness. This keynote examines the internal demands of leadership and challenges audiences to confront the reality that before leadership becomes organizational, it is deeply personal.

04

When God Disrupts Who You Thought You Were

Transformation in Scripture rarely begins with comfort.

For Christian conferences, churches, ministries, men's gatherings, colleges, and faith based organizations, Ian brings the same psychological and human examination underneath an explicitly Christ centered framework. This message examines identity, surrender, suffering, responsibility, transformation, and the radical confrontation of encountering Jesus. Not Christianity as self improvement. Not Jesus as an accessory to ambition. Christ as Lord, and the death and reconstruction of the person we thought we had to remain.

Ideal for Christian conferences, churches, men's events, ministries, and faith based colleges

You Became Exceptional At Everything Except Governing Yourself.

You built enough intelligence, discipline, money, status and authority to compensate for patterns most people would have been forced to confront years ago.

Your success didn't eliminate your dysfunction. It gave it somewhere impressive to hide.

You've Given Your Patterns Better Names.

You Call It Ambition.

You're terrified of who you are when you're not producing.

You Call It High Standards.

Perfection gives you permission to control everything.

You Call It Independence.

You don't trust anybody enough to need them.

You Call It Strategic Thinking.

You're ruminating with a better vocabulary.

You Call It Discipline.

Your self worth disappears when your output does.

You Call It Leadership.

Sometimes it's control with a title.

I don't care how intelligently you can explain your behavior. I care whether you can stop repeating it.

The Diagnostic Architecture

Behavior Is The Output. What System Keeps Producing It?

01 Perception

What are you seeing incorrectly?

Predictive models, assumptions, attention, threat calibration.

↓
02 Biology

What happens when pressure hits?

Regulation, capacity, stress load, cognitive command.

↓
03 Identity

Who does your system expect you to be?

Self model, inherited scripts, identity attractors.

↓
04 Execution

What do you repeatedly prove?

Behavior, discipline, completion, reinforcement.

05 Meaning

Why sustain any of it?

Purpose, responsibility, mission, long horizon.

Human Operating Systems diagnoses the architecture. ARISE rebuilds it.

ARISE

A

Align

Correct the lens. Truth before transformation.

R

Regulate

Stabilize the organism. Command under pressure.

I

Install Identity

Reconstruct the self model. Become deliberately.

S

Step Into Behavior

Turn identity into evidence. Action makes it real.

E

Embody Meaning

Build something that survives adversity.

You cannot habit stack your way out of a system level problem.

You cannot productivity hack distorted perception.

You cannot permanently outwork dysregulation.

You cannot affirm an identity your behavior continually disproves.

You cannot sustain extraordinary sacrifice indefinitely without meaning.

The More Power You Have, The More Expensive Your Unresolved Patterns Become.

Evolutionary Mindset // The War Room

Slow Leadership Costs Millions. Harden The People Who Command Your Company.

Lost capital. Missed investments. Stalled growth. It traces back to one place: how your senior leaders communicate, decide, and hold under pressure.

We rebuild that in the field, under load, with accountability that follows them back into the building.

Two retreats per year minimum. Organizational fit required.

At Enterprise Scale, Leadership Inefficiency Is Not A Soft Problem. It Becomes A Financial Event.

Where The Money Goes.

Slow Decisions.

Every day a call sits in committee is a day a competitor spends executing. Capital waits. Opportunity expires.

Missed Investments.

The window closes while leadership debates. Hesitation at the top is paid for in deals not done and ground not taken.

Brittle Leaders.

Strong in a good quarter. Reactive when pressure arrives. Their worst moments set the ceiling for the whole organization.

Bottleneck Operators.

One executive holding every approval. A department idle behind them. Payroll running the entire time.

Talent You Pay To Lose.

High performers rarely leave companies. They leave leaders. The replacement cost lands on your P and L.

Stalled Growth.

Revenue plateaus where leadership capacity ends. The market did not cap you. Your command structure did.

Power does not remove human failure patterns. It multiplies them.

The Method

Rebuilding The Command Circuitry.

Ian works at the level of the neural circuitry that drives how senior operators communicate, decide, and perform under load. Not motivation. Not a seminar. Retraining the C suite and high level operators so the whole command structure runs at maximum efficiency.

01

Communication Circuitry

Faster, cleaner exchange between executives. Disagreement without defensiveness. Orders and intent that land the first time.

02

Decision Speed

A shorter distance between information and action. Less committee. More command.

03

Capacity Under Pressure

Stress response retrained so judgment holds when stakes spike and fatigue sets in.

04

Accountability Loops

Commitments closed, not carried. Correction received without ego.

05

Delegation And Handoff

Authority released at the speed the company grows. No single point of approval.

06

Recovery

Rapid return to full cognitive command after a loss, a hit, or a bad quarter.

Built on Human Operating Systems, one complete system combining neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and theology with therapeutic modalities, and applied through the ARISE Method. This is performance coaching, not therapy.

How An Engagement Runs.

01

The War Room

One group call with Ian every month, included. The full leadership group, live problems, worked against the system in real time. Nothing goes cold between retreats.

02

The Field

Two to three retreats a year. Executives leave the building and train under real pressure, with former special operations instruction and an ex combat specialist addressing the group.

03

The Operating Environment

The actual company, running in real time. Everything exposed in the field is carried back into real meetings, real deadlines, and real decisions, then observed and recalibrated.

The field exposes. The monthly call holds the line. The year hardens the unit.

The Retreats

Field Training For Executives.

Leadership leaves the building. Operators train alongside a former special operations instructor, hear from an ex combat specialist who has led under real fire, and work physical demand built to expose how each leader actually performs when it gets hard. Then they debrief like a team that intends to win.

Retreat 01 // Expose

Baseline Under Pressure

  • War Room diagnostic and cognitive coaching
  • Tactical training led by a former special operations instructor
  • Boxing and kickboxing
  • Endurance hiking
Retreat 02 // Disrupt

Complexity Under Fatigue

  • Live decisions under time pressure and fatigue
  • Address from an ex combat specialist
  • Weight lifting to failure
  • Shooting or hunting, where applicable
Retreat 03 // Integrate

Command Under Everything

  • Team missions across the full leadership group
  • Full combination training
  • After action review and forward plan
  • Reintegration into the company

Two retreats per year is the minimum. Three is the full program.

→

Communication

A leader who held composure at mile ten does not lose it in a budget meeting.

→

Culture

What leaders tolerate in themselves under pressure is exactly what they will tolerate in the building.

→

Output

Recovery speed in the ring predicts recovery speed after a bad quarter.

→

Cohesion

Executives who have bled and failed next to each other stop performing politeness.

→

Sales Performance

Rejection tolerance built under a heavy bag transfers directly to a hard call.

This is not a corporate retreat. It is field training with a business objective, professionally supervised, with every lesson carried straight back into the company. All physical work is screened and scaled to the individual.

Agreement To These Terms

If you work with us, these are the rules of the game. Read them. They protect you and they protect us.

These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern every use of the website at evolutionarymindsetacademy.com and every program, service, call, retreat, event, and product offered by Evolutionary Mindset, operated by Ian Taylor (together, "Coach," "Company," "we," or "us"). They apply to every person or organization that applies for, purchases, or participates in our services ("Client," "you," or "your"), including the Private Performance Advisory, the War Room, speaking engagements, REV15, and any other offering.

By submitting an application, signing an agreement, making a payment, joining a call or retreat, or using this website, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not apply and do not use our services. Where you sign a separate written agreement with us, that agreement and these Terms work together. If they conflict, the signed agreement controls for the matter it covers.

Section 02

What This Is

This is high level performance coaching for people who are serious about changing how they think, decide, and lead.

Our services are coaching, advisory, training, and education services. They are designed to help capable people and leadership teams build awareness, sharpen decision making, strengthen communication, develop performance under pressure, and take responsibility for results. Depending on the program, this includes executive coaching, performance coaching, leadership development, life coaching, mindset and habit work, accountability, live training, field based retreats, and speaking.

Our methodology, including Human Operating Systems and the ARISE Method, draws on concepts from neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, theology, and therapeutic modalities. These concepts are used in an educational and coaching context to help you understand yourself and perform at a higher level. Using these concepts does not make our services therapy, medicine, or any licensed professional service.

Coaching is a partnership. Coach brings structure, challenge, experience, and honesty. You bring effort, truth, and action. Results come from what you do between sessions, not from the sessions alone.

Section 03

What This Is Not

We are not your therapist, your doctor, your lawyer, or your financial advisor. We will never pretend to be.

  • Coaching is not psychotherapy, counseling, psychiatry, psychology, or mental health treatment of any kind. Coach does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any mental, emotional, or medical condition, and Coach is not a licensed mental health provider.
  • Coaching is not medical care. Nothing said or provided by Coach is a medical diagnosis, treatment, prescription, or substitute for the advice of a licensed physician or other qualified health professional.
  • Coaching is not legal, tax, accounting, investment, financial, human resources, or employment advice. Any business, financial, or legal decision you make is yours alone, and you should consult qualified licensed professionals before making one.
  • Coaching is not crisis support or emergency care. Coach is not available as an emergency service.
  • Coaching is not a substitute for any treatment, medication, therapy, or professional care you currently receive or need. Do not stop or change any treatment because of anything in our programs. If you are in therapy or under medical care, you are responsible for informing your providers that you are participating in coaching.
  • Coaching is not a guarantee of any outcome. See Section {NG}.

If at any point you believe you need therapy, psychiatric care, or medical attention, it is your responsibility to seek it. Coach may recommend that you do so, and may pause or end the coaching relationship if that is in your best interest or ours. If you are in crisis or in danger of harming yourself or anyone else, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. In the United States you can also call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, at any time.

Section 04

The Coaching Relationship And Scope

Here is what you are getting, what you are not, and how we work together.

The specific scope, format, frequency, and deliverables of your engagement are described on the program page you applied through and in any agreement you sign. Coach determines the methods, tools, language, and approach used in sessions and retreats, and may adjust them at any time based on what the work requires. Coaching is direct. Coach will challenge you, name what he sees, and hold you to your word. By participating you accept that this style may be uncomfortable at times, and that discomfort is part of change.

Coach is available during scheduled sessions and the communication channels stated in your program. Coach is not on call, does not provide round the clock access, and does not promise a response time outside what your program states. Services are provided on a best efforts basis, and Coach's time, attention, and availability remain subject to his schedule, travel, health, and professional commitments.

Section 05

Applications, Eligibility, And Fit

Not everyone is accepted. That is by design.

Our premium programs are application only. Submitting an application does not create a coaching relationship, an obligation to accept you, or an obligation to explain a decision. We may accept, decline, pause, or end any application or engagement at our sole discretion, including for lack of fit, lack of readiness, lack of availability, or conduct that does not meet our standards.

You represent that you are at least eighteen years old, that you have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements, and that all information you provide to us, including your income, role, company, and goals, is true, complete, and not misleading. Providing false information is grounds for immediate termination without refund. Our services are not intended for anyone under eighteen.

Section 06

Private Performance Advisory: Structure And Payment

One on one work with Ian. Paid monthly, on the first, in advance. Ninety days to start, then a six month commitment.

  • Levels. The Private Performance Advisory is offered in three levels: Direct at $8,000 per month, Command at $12,000 per month, and Total at $15,000 per month. The features of each level are as described on the Private Performance Advisory page at the time you enroll. Coach may update program features and descriptions over time, and the level you enroll in is confirmed in your signed agreement.
  • Payment due date. Fees are charged monthly and are due in advance on the first day of every month. Payment is due on the first of the month whether or not a session occurs that month, and whether or not you use every benefit available to you.
  • Initial term. Every Advisory engagement begins with a ninety (90) day initial commitment. The full fees for the initial term are owed once you sign, even if you elect to pay them monthly.
  • Continuation. If you choose to move forward after the initial ninety days, you commit to a further six (6) month term at the level you select, on the same monthly payment schedule. Continuation requires your written confirmation, or your continued participation and payment after the initial term, as stated in your agreement. Each later six month term follows the same structure unless the agreement states otherwise.
  • Fees and pricing. Fees are stated in United States dollars. Fees are charged on the schedule above and do not change during a committed term. We may change pricing for new terms and new Clients with notice.
  • Payment method. Payment is made by the method specified in your agreement. You authorize us to charge the payment method on file on each due date. You are responsible for all bank, processing, wire, and currency conversion fees.
Section 07

The War Room: Structure And Payment

Executive team engagements. Priced per retreat. Contracted in full and paid up front.

  • Starting price. War Room engagements begin at $180,000 per retreat. This is a starting price only. The final fee is subject to increase based on the number of executives participating and the scope of the engagement, and is confirmed in writing before you sign.
  • Minimum commitment. War Room engagements require a minimum of two (2) retreats per year. A two retreat engagement begins at $360,000 and a three retreat engagement begins at $540,000, each subject to increase based on the number of executives.
  • Payment. The full engagement fee set out in the signed agreement is due upfront. Once the agreement is signed, payment is made by wire transfer according to the instructions provided by Company. Retreat dates are not reserved and no services begin until the agreement is signed and payment is received in cleared funds.
  • Included services. Each engagement includes the retreats and one individual, private monthly call between Coach and each participating executive, as described in your agreement. Additional services, extra sessions, extended retreats, additional executives, and requests outside the agreed scope are quoted and billed separately.
  • Scheduling. Retreat dates, locations, format, and facilitators are set by mutual agreement and confirmed in writing. Company selects and may change the trainers, guest instructors, speakers, and facilitators, including any former military, special operations, or combat specialists, in its discretion. Company does not guarantee the participation of any specific guest.
  • Authority. The person signing for an organization represents that they have full authority to bind that organization to these Terms and to the agreement. The organization is responsible for payment in full regardless of any change among its participants, leadership, or ownership.
Section 08

Late Payments And Failed Payments

If payment stops, the work stops.

If a payment is late, declined, reversed, or disputed, Company may, without notice, pause all services, cancel scheduled sessions, remove access to materials and communities, and withhold retreat participation until the account is current. Missed sessions during a suspension for nonpayment are forfeited and are not rescheduled. Any payment received after its due date incurs a late charge of ten percent (10%) of the overdue amount, applied once for each late payment, or the maximum amount permitted by law if lower. Late charges are a reasonable estimate of our administrative costs and lost scheduling, not a penalty. You agree to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorney's fees. You agree not to initiate a chargeback or payment dispute for services that were provided or available to you. Doing so is a breach of these Terms, and you authorize Company to submit this agreement and records of your participation as evidence in response.

Section 09

Term, Renewal, And Early Termination

You are making a commitment. If you leave early, you still honor it.

  • Commitment. The fees for a committed term are owed for the entire term. Your commitment is not reduced by schedule changes, travel, a change in priorities, a change in circumstances, or dissatisfaction with your own progress.
  • Early termination fee, Private Performance Advisory. If you wish to terminate an Advisory engagement before the end of your committed term, you must give written notice and pay fifty percent (50%) of the remaining balance for the rest of the committed term, in full and up front, before the termination takes effect. The fees for all periods up to the termination date remain due.
  • Emergency exception. Coach may waive or reduce the early termination fee, in whole or in part, in his sole discretion, for genuine emergency reasons. Whether a circumstance qualifies as an emergency is decided by Coach alone. A waiver in one case is not a waiver in any other case and sets no precedent.
  • War Room. Because the full engagement fee is paid upfront and Company reserves its dates, facilitators, venues, and resources for your organization, War Room agreements cannot be terminated for a refund. Termination provisions for the War Room are set out in the signed agreement.
  • Termination by Company. Company may end any engagement immediately, with or without cause, including for nonpayment, dishonesty, abusive or threatening conduct, violation of these Terms, safety concerns, or if Company determines the engagement is no longer appropriate. If Company terminates for cause, no refund is owed. If Company terminates without cause, Company will refund the unused portion of prepaid fees for services not yet delivered, and that refund is your sole remedy.
  • Survival. Termination does not release you from fees owed, and Sections on payment, release of liability, indemnification, limitation of liability, confidentiality, intellectual property, dispute resolution, and governing law survive.
Section 10

Refunds And Reimbursements

We sell time, attention, and expertise that cannot be taken back. That is why all sales are final.

  • All fees are final and nonrefundable once paid, except as expressly stated in these Terms or in a signed agreement. This includes fees for unused sessions, unused benefits, missed calls, missed retreats, and any service you chose not to use.
  • No refunds will be issued because of dissatisfaction with results, a change in your circumstances, a personal or business change, or a decision not to participate. Because outcomes depend on your own actions, results are never a condition of payment.
  • Travel, lodging, meals, venue, ground transport, and other expenses for retreats and on site engagements are not included in program fees unless the agreement says so. Where expenses are Client's responsibility, they are billed at cost, are due on receipt, and Company will reimburse itself from funds on account if you do not pay.
  • Company does not reimburse Client for any expense Client incurs in connection with participation, including travel, lodging, third party providers, equipment, lost wages, lost time, or lost opportunity.
  • Reimbursements owed to Client, if any, are made by the same method used for payment, within thirty (30) days of Company's written approval.
Section 11

Scheduling, Attendance, And Cancellations

Show up on time. Be ready. Your time is valuable and so is Ian's.

Sessions must be scheduled in advance. If you need to reschedule a session, you must give at least twenty four (24) hours notice, unless a genuine, serious emergency prevents it. Whether a circumstance qualifies as a genuine emergency is decided by Coach alone. If you reschedule with less than twenty four hours notice without a qualifying emergency, or you do not appear, that session for the month is forfeited. It is not made up, credited, refunded, or carried over. Late arrival does not extend the session. Unused sessions do not roll over from one month to the next and have no cash value.

Retreat attendance is required for those named in your agreement. Absences from a retreat, for any reason, do not entitle you to a refund or credit. Company may offer a make up at its sole discretion. Company may reschedule or relocate a session or retreat for safety, weather, illness, venue issues, or other reasons beyond its control, in which case it will offer reasonable alternative dates, and neither party is liable for the change.

Section 12

Health, Wellness, And Specialist Services

Total level members may be connected to specialists. Those specialists are independent professionals, not Ian.

Certain programs, including the Total level of the Private Performance Advisory, may include access to, introductions to, or coordination with physicians, specialists, advisors, wellness programs, regenerative health programs, workout programming, and weight loss programs. These services are subject to eligibility, availability, and the independent professional judgment of the provider.

  • Coach is not a medical provider, does not practice medicine, and does not diagnose or treat any condition. Coach does not supervise, direct, or control any independent provider's clinical decisions.
  • Every physician, specialist, clinic, and wellness provider is an independent licensed professional or business. They are not employees, agents, partners, or representatives of Company. Their services are provided under their own consents, policies, and fees, and any treatment relationship is solely between you and that provider.
  • Third party services may carry separate fees that are not included in program fees unless the agreement says so. You are responsible for any costs of tests, treatments, medications, procedures, and programs.
  • Company does not guarantee that any provider will accept you, that any treatment or program is appropriate, safe, or effective for you, or that any health outcome, weight outcome, or physical result will occur.
  • Before beginning any exercise, nutrition, weight loss, fasting, supplement, regenerative, or health program, you agree to consult your own physician and to disclose accurately your health history. Any workout or nutrition programming is general in nature and is not tailored medical advice.
Section 13

Voluntary Participation And Assumption Of Risk

You are an adult. You choose to be here. You are responsible for what you do with this work.

You acknowledge and agree that your participation in all coaching, training, retreats, events, and programs is completely voluntary and is an exercise of your own free will and judgment. You alone are responsible for your decisions, actions, and results, both during and after coaching, and for how you apply, or fail to apply, anything you learn.

You understand that coaching, personal development, and high intensity leadership training involve emotional, psychological, physical, social, financial, and professional risk. Deep self examination can bring up difficult memories, strong emotions, and uncomfortable truths. Change can affect your relationships, your career, your finances, and your sense of identity. Retreats and field training may include demanding physical activity, stress exercises, outdoor conditions, travel, and instruction by former military or tactical professionals, and may involve a risk of injury, illness, exhaustion, property damage, and, in rare cases, serious harm or death. You knowingly and voluntarily assume all of these risks, including risks that are unknown, unforeseen, or caused by the ordinary negligence of Company.

You represent that you are physically and mentally able to participate, that you have no condition that would make participation unsafe, or that you have obtained your physician's clearance. You agree to stop any activity if you feel unsafe and to tell the staff immediately. You agree to follow all instructions and safety rules. You are responsible for deciding your own limits.

Section 14

Retreat Safety, Medical Clearance, And Emergency Treatment

Field training is real training. You are responsible for your own readiness, and we will act fast if something goes wrong.

  • Participants must be medically and physically fit to take part. You agree to disclose any injury, condition, medication, allergy, or limitation that could affect safety, and to obtain physician clearance where appropriate.
  • You authorize Company and its staff and instructors to summon emergency medical services and to arrange for emergency medical treatment, transport, and hospitalization if you are unable to consent. You are responsible for all resulting costs. Company is not responsible for medical costs, and you should carry your own health and travel insurance.
  • Company may remove any participant from any activity or from the retreat at any time for safety, health, conduct, or fitness reasons, without refund.
  • Instructors, guests, and trainers, including former military and special operations personnel, are independent professionals. Their views and instruction are their own. Participants must follow all safety instructions.
  • Alcohol, drugs, and weapons are not permitted at any program unless Company specifically authorizes them in writing for a specific purpose.
Section 15

Faith, Values, And Methodology Disclosure

Our work draws on philosophy and theology. You do not have to share our beliefs, and we will not coerce you.

Our methodology may draw on philosophical and theological ideas, and Coach is a pastor and minister in his separate ministry work. Participation in coaching does not require any religious belief, and Company does not provide pastoral counseling, spiritual direction, or religious advice as part of its coaching services unless separately agreed in writing. You may decline any concept, exercise, or discussion that conflicts with your own beliefs. Company does not discriminate on the basis of religion or any protected status.

Section 16

Release And Waiver Of Liability

Ian is not responsible for what you decide to do, or for what happens outside the coaching.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you, on behalf of yourself and your heirs, executors, successors, assigns, and (for an organization) its owners, officers, directors, employees, affiliates, and participants, fully and forever release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue Company, Ian Taylor, and their affiliates, owners, members, officers, employees, contractors, guest instructors, speakers, trainers, facilitators, venues, and agents (the "Released Parties") from any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and causes of action of any kind, known or unknown, arising from or related to your participation in or use of the services, including but not limited to:

  • any promised, expected, implied, or hoped for result, outcome, income, profit, promotion, valuation, relationship, health result, or change that does not occur or does not occur as expected;
  • any decision, action, investment, transaction, termination, relationship change, business move, or life change you make or do not make, whether or not it relates to something discussed in coaching;
  • anything that happens outside of a coaching session, call, or retreat, including your conduct, the conduct of others, and events in your business, family, health, or personal life;
  • any damage, loss, injury, illness, emotional distress, or harm that arises or is claimed to arise during or after coaching, training, retreats, or events, including physical and psychological harm;
  • the acts, omissions, advice, or services of any third party, including independent physicians, specialists, providers, venues, and guest speakers;
  • any claim based on ordinary negligence of the Released Parties.

This release does not apply to harm caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud of a Released Party, or to any right that cannot lawfully be waived. You confirm that you have read this release, understand it, and are signing it voluntarily. Where an organization is the Client, the organization agrees to obtain a signed participant release from each of its participants if Company requests one, and agrees to be responsible for any claim by its participants.

Section 17

Indemnification

If your actions cause a claim against us, you cover it.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or related to: your participation in the services; your breach of these Terms; your violation of any law or the rights of any person; your decisions and actions taken in connection with coaching; any claim made by your employees, participants, family members, or associates; and any false information you provide.

Section 18

Limitation Of Liability

There is a ceiling on what we can ever owe you.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Released Parties will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, income, business, goodwill, data, opportunity, or anticipated savings, however caused and under any theory of liability, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability of the Released Parties for all claims arising out of or related to the services or these Terms will not exceed the amount of fees you actually paid to Company in the three (3) months before the event giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you, and in that case our liability is limited to the smallest amount the law permits.

Section 19

No Guarantees, Results, And Earnings Disclaimer

We promise effort, honesty, and a proven framework. We do not promise outcomes.

Company makes no promise, representation, or guarantee that you or your organization will achieve any specific result, including increased revenue, income, profit, valuation, productivity, promotions, relationship outcomes, mental or emotional outcomes, health or physical outcomes, or any other result. Any statement on our website, in a video, in a sales conversation, or in marketing material about outcomes, statistics, testimonials, or case studies is general information and illustration only, is not a promise, and is not typical of every Client. Past results and the results of other Clients do not predict yours.

Statistics and research cited on our website, including figures attributed to third parties such as McKinsey and Gallup, are provided for educational context. They describe broad market findings, not outcomes that Company promises or controls. Your results depend on many factors outside our control, including your effort, your market, your team, your decisions, and your circumstances. No oral statement or representation by anyone affiliated with Company modifies this disclaimer unless it is in a signed writing.

Section 20

Disclaimer Of Warranties

Our services and website are provided as they are.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and all services, content, and materials are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non infringement, and uninterrupted or error free operation. Company does not warrant that any content, program, or advice will meet your needs or produce any result.

Section 21

Confidentiality

What you share with us stays with us, with limits the law requires.

Company will treat the personal and business information you share in sessions as confidential and will not disclose it to third parties without your permission, except: where required by law, subpoena, or court order; where necessary to protect against imminent harm to you or someone else; where necessary to defend Company in a dispute with you; or to Company's advisors who are bound to confidentiality. Coaching communications are not protected by the legal privileges that apply to attorneys, physicians, or licensed therapists, and the law may not shield them from disclosure.

For enterprise engagements, you understand that Company works with the leadership group as a whole. Information shared in group sessions may be heard by the other participants. You agree to keep confidential what other participants share in group settings and retreats and not to disclose it outside the group. Unless a separate agreement says otherwise, Company is free to speak in general terms about its work, but will not publicly identify a Client by name, or reveal Client confidential business information, without written permission.

Section 22

Client Responsibilities And Conduct

This only works if you do your part.

  • Be honest with Coach and with yourself, and tell us about anything that could affect the work, including health or safety concerns.
  • Complete the work, attend your sessions, and apply what you learn. You are responsible for your own results.
  • Treat Coach, staff, guests, and other participants with respect. Threats, harassment, discrimination, intimidation, abuse, intoxication, or illegal conduct will result in immediate removal without refund.
  • Do not use the services to do anything unlawful or to harm anyone.
  • Keep your login credentials, links, and materials private and do not share them.
  • You are responsible for compliance with all laws, rules, policies, and professional duties that apply to you, including those of your employer, licensing body, or regulator. Coaching does not replace them.
Section 23

Intellectual Property And Recordings

What we build belongs to us. You get to use it for you.

All content, methods, frameworks, programs, scripts, worksheets, videos, audio, graphics, trademarks, and materials, including Human Operating Systems, the ARISE Method, Evolutionary Mindset, Evolutionary Mindset Academy, Evolutionary Gospel, and REV15, are owned by Company or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You receive a limited, personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to use materials for your own personal or internal business development during your engagement. You may not copy, record, reproduce, resell, distribute, publish, teach, license, or create derivative works from them, or share them with anyone outside your engagement, without written permission.

You may not record, photograph, livestream, or transcribe any session, call, retreat, or event, or use any artificial intelligence tool to capture it, without written permission from Company. Company may record sessions for quality, training, and record keeping purposes. Company may use any feedback you give. With your written permission, Company may use your testimonial, name, and likeness. You may withdraw permission for future use by written notice.

Section 24

Privacy, Data, And Communications

We respect your information, and we use it to serve you.

When you submit a form, apply, or contact us, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email, phone number, company, role, income range, and your answers. We use it to evaluate applications, provide services, communicate with you, process payments, improve our offerings, and meet legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with service providers who help us run the business, such as form, email, payment, scheduling, video, and hosting providers, who are expected to protect it, and as required by law. Form submissions on this site are delivered to Company by a third party form service.

By providing your email address and phone number, you consent to receive communications from Company about your application, services, scheduling, and offers by email, phone, and text message. Message and data rates may apply. You can unsubscribe from marketing messages at any time using the link in the message or by contacting us. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Our website may use cookies and similar tools for basic functionality and analytics. You may disable cookies in your browser.

Section 25

Website, Third Party Links, And Content

The website is for information. Other sites are not ours.

Our website may contain links to, or embedded content from, third parties such as Instagram, YouTube, and Vimeo. Company does not control and is not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third party. Content on the website, social media, videos, and events is for general information and inspiration. It is not advice for your specific situation. You use the website at your own risk. Company may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website or any program at any time.

Section 26

Speaking, Events, And Public Programs

Attending an event is a choice. You own your experience of it.

These Terms also apply to keynotes, workshops, seminars, live events, and public programs. Attendees participate at their own risk and agree to the release, assumption of risk, and limitation of liability provisions above. Organizations that engage Coach to speak are bound by the terms of their separate speaking agreement. Company is not responsible for the content of other speakers, the actions of other attendees, or the venue.

Section 27

Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, And Class Action Waiver

If we disagree, we talk first. If that fails, we use private arbitration, not court.

  • Informal resolution. Before starting any formal proceeding, the parties agree to try in good faith to resolve the dispute by written notice and direct discussion for at least thirty (30) days.
  • Binding arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the services, or the relationship between you and Company that is not resolved informally will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its rules then in effect, before one arbitrator. The arbitration will take place in New York, or by video if the parties agree. The arbitrator's award is final and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party is entitled to recover its reasonable attorney's fees and costs.
  • Class action and jury waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, all claims must be brought in the parties' individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative proceeding. Each party knowingly and voluntarily waives any right to a trial by jury.
  • Exceptions. Company may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect its intellectual property or confidential information, and may bring an action in court to collect unpaid fees.
  • Time limit. Any claim must be filed within one (1) year after it arose, or it is permanently barred, to the extent the law permits.
Section 28

Governing Law

New York law governs.

These Terms and any dispute are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Subject to the arbitration provisions above, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in New York for any matter that may be heard in court.

Section 29

General Terms

The fine print that keeps everything enforceable.

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with any signed agreement, program page, and invoice, are the entire agreement between you and Company on their subject and replace all earlier discussions, sales conversations, and understandings. No statement made to induce you to sign is part of the agreement unless it is written in the signed agreement.
  • Changes. Company may update these Terms at any time. Updated Terms apply to new purchases when posted and to existing Clients at the start of any renewal term, or sooner with notice. Your continued use of the services after an update means you accept it. Changes to a signed agreement require a writing signed by both parties.
  • Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the rest remains in effect.
  • No waiver. Company's failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right.
  • Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations without our written consent. Company may assign these Terms to an affiliate or successor.
  • Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disaster, severe weather, pandemic, government action, travel disruption, war, civil unrest, or utility failure. Payment obligations are not excused by such events.
  • Independent parties. Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, fiduciary, or attorney client, doctor patient, or therapist client relationship.
  • Electronic signatures and notices. You agree that electronic signatures, clicks, and submissions have the same force as handwritten signatures, and that notices may be delivered by email to the address you provided.
  • Interpretation. Headings are for convenience. The words "including" and "includes" mean without limitation. These Terms are not interpreted against the drafter.
Section 30

Taxes, Payment Security, And Compliance

Pay through the official channels only, and keep your own books.

  • You are responsible for all taxes, duties, and levies on your payments and on any benefit you receive. Fees are exclusive of taxes unless stated otherwise. You are responsible for deciding whether any fee is deductible or reimbursable.
  • Wire fraud warning. Criminals sometimes impersonate businesses to redirect payments. Before sending any wire, call Coach at the number published on this website or verify the instructions in person or by video. Company is not responsible for funds sent to an account that was not verified, or for losses caused by a compromise of your own email or systems.
  • You represent that all funds you use to pay Company come from lawful sources and that you are not subject to any sanctions or restrictions that prohibit you from doing business with a United States person. Company may refuse or reverse any transaction that it believes may violate law, and may report suspicious activity as required.
  • Where a business pays on behalf of an individual executive, the business remains fully liable for payment, and the individual has no claim against Company for fees paid by the business.
Section 31

Professional Conduct, Independence, And Conflicts

We advise. You decide. Nobody here is your fiduciary.

Company's role is limited to coaching and advisory services. Company does not manage, control, or accept responsibility for your business, your employees, or your decisions. Company owes you no fiduciary duty and does not act as your agent. Coach may work with other clients, including clients in the same industry, and will keep each client's confidential information separate. Coaching is not a basis for any employment decision. If your organization uses information from coaching to hire, promote, discipline, or terminate any person, that decision and its legal consequences are entirely the organization's responsibility. Company does not provide human resources, legal, or compliance review of any such decision.

Section 32

Non Disparagement And Public Statements

Disagree with us privately first. Do not attack us publicly.

You agree not to make false, defamatory, or maliciously disparaging statements about Company, Ian Taylor, or the services, whether online, in the media, or to any third party. This does not prevent you from making truthful statements required by law, from participating in any legal or arbitration proceeding, or from giving an honest review about your experience. Before posting a complaint publicly, you agree to first give Company written notice and a reasonable opportunity to resolve it. Company may also decline to continue services to anyone who violates this section.

Section 33

Media, Photos, And Recordings Of You

If we record a live event, you may appear in it.

At live events, retreats, and keynotes, photography, audio, and video may be taken. Unless you tell Company in writing before the event, you consent to Company's use of recordings in which you incidentally appear, for promotional and educational purposes, without compensation. Client confidential business information and Client identity in private sessions will not be published without permission. Participants in private sessions will not be recorded for promotional use without written consent.

Section 34

Your Acknowledgments And Right To Consult Counsel

You are signing a binding agreement. Make sure you understand it.

By applying, signing, paying, or participating, you confirm that you have read these Terms in full; that you have had the opportunity to ask questions and to consult an attorney, accountant, physician, and any other advisor of your choice; that you understand these Terms include a release of liability, an assumption of risk, a limitation of liability, an early termination fee, a late payment charge, and a binding arbitration clause with a class action and jury waiver; that you are entering into them freely, voluntarily, and without reliance on any promise not written in a signed agreement; and that the fees are reasonable in exchange for the services and access provided.

Section 35
