FOR GENX FOUNDERS WHO EXPECT RESULTS

YOUR MESSAGE
WORKS UNTIL A
DECISION IS
REQUIRED.

When you don’t have enough leads, every conversation feels like survival.

I help founders sell without sounding like missing the sale would wreck their month.

A short diagnostic that shows you exactly where pressure starts changing how you talk and costs you the deal. You’re just seeing what’s happening through your prospect’s eyes.

WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING

It’s not that you can’t sell.
It’s that the call feels too important.

When you don’t have enough leads, every conversation carries too much weight. And right when it’s time to decide, pressure starts changing how you talk. That’s when buyers pull back.

  • You start explaining instead of leading.
  • You soften the price or the promise.
  • You add extra details to “help” them decide.
  • You feel the shift, and they feel it too.
THE ONLY QUESTION THAT MATTERS

Is it your message… or your moment of decision?

The $7 X-Ray shows you which one it is in under two minutes, using your own words. You’ll see the exact moment things shift through your prospect’s eyes.

Trusted where decisions couldn't be faked

TRUSTED IN REAL ROOMS

This is what high-stakes sales sounds like
when pressure doesn’t run the call.

If you’ve led teams, owned numbers, and carried real responsibility, you already know this: buyers decide when they feel certainty. The problem is what happens to your voice when the outcome feels too important.

Next is the math — because one stalled decision isn’t a mindset issue. It’s revenue.

THE COST OF HESITATION

This isn’t about confidence.
It’s about what one stalled decision costs.

When you only have a few opportunities a month, every call carries weight. And when pressure changes how you speak, buyers feel it.

This isn’t a mindset problem. It’s not a messaging rewrite. It’s a moment-of-decision breakdown.

And the math adds up faster than most founders want to admit.
Average missed deal $10–25K
Deals hesitating per month 1–2
Annual revenue left on table $120–600K
THE PRACTITIONER

HI, I’M SHARI.

I’ve closed $140M in revenue.

I’ve trained teams responsible for over $1B in sales.

I spent decades in Fortune 100 boardrooms where one sentence could move millions — or end the conversation.

I wrote My Skeletons Have Names because people needed to hear something simple:

  • Your past does not define you.
  • No story is too hard to tell.
  • No story is too hard to hear.

After a lifetime of abuse, addiction, and pure survival, I learned how people speak when the outcome feels dangerous — and what happens right before a decision falls apart.

Buyers are afraid of making the wrong decision.
Sellers are afraid of hearing no.

Both are standing at the same moment. The same point of inflection.

THE AUTHORITY WIRE

The Authority Wire is the point where your message and your close either hold together — or quietly pull apart.

You cannot fix one without the other.

Fixing only one side keeps you on a pendulum, guessing why business feels harder than it should.

TODAY, I DON’T TEACH SCRIPTS. I DON’T MOTIVATE.

I show you where your authority changes under pressure — and how to keep it steady when decisions are required.

The Reckoning

If you don’t fix
the decision moment,
the math doesn’t work.

You’re 52–58.

You left corporate.

Business: $70K–$120K.

Savings: $100K–$250K.

Most founders will need ~$2M to retire comfortably.

You have 10–15 years.

It’s a decision problem.

The Real Lever

Where it
breaks.

Conversations are happening.

Interest is there.

But when money is mentioned…

Something shifts.

Closing 30–40% vs 70%.

That gap costs you 6-figures.

The math follows the fix.

The Enemy

Advice that
can’t carry authority.

One side teaches what to say.

One side teaches how to close.

Neither teaches authority.

Authority breaks before the close.

DO THE MATH.

Scenario A

3 closes out of 10 calls

at $10K per deal

$30,000

Scenario B

6 closes out of 10 calls

at $10K per deal

$60,000

Same leads. Same offer. Same effort.

One thing changed.

Over 12 months, that’s six figures.

Over 10 years, that’s the difference between stress and sovereignty.

SOUND & SPIRIT

People don’t decide when price is spoken.

They decide before that.

What changes is not the offer. It’s not the words.

It’s how you sound when money becomes part of the conversation.

Your message has a Sound.

Your closing reveals a Spirit.

When those match, buyers feel led.

When they don’t, buyers stall — even if they like you.

That stall sounds like: “I need to think about it.”

BREAK

THE WIRE.

Think of your business like a lamp.

The Sound is the lightbulb. It’s what you say.

The Spirit is the electricity. It’s the certainty behind it.

If the wire is broken in the middle, the room stays dark.

It doesn’t matter how good your script is or how much you spend on marketing.

You don’t have a sales problem.

You have an authority problem.

Social Proof

THE OUTCOMES.

Authority is revealed when pressure hits and the wire holds.

Shari Lueck - Authority Rebuilt
The Origin

AUTHORITY IS BUILT WHERE MOST PEOPLE BREAK.

Before I was trusted in boardrooms, before I closed $140M, before I taught others how to hold authority under pressure—my life broke.

1999: My children survived a mass shooting.

2001: I watched the towers fall.

2002: Everything I thought made me “successful” was gone.

I didn’t rebuild by becoming louder. I rebuilt by becoming integrated.

I learned what happens to the nervous system when threat enters the room. I learned how certainty collapses—and how it’s restored.

I learned how people speak when they’re whole and how they speak when they’re fractured.

That work became the foundation of everything I do today.

The Memoir

MY SKELETONS HAVE NAMES

A memoir about survival, identity, and the cost of pretending you’re fine. This isn’t a motivational story. It’s an anatomy lesson in resilience.

It’s why I don’t teach performance. It’s why I don’t sell confidence. It’s why I know exactly where authority breaks—and how to rebuild it.

YOU DIDN'T LOSE YOUR EDGE.

You lost alignment at the moment certainty is tested.

Fix that —

AND EVERYTHING ELSE BECOMES INEVITABLE.
