Leadership Signal Calibration for CEOs in High-Stakes Environments

STRATA Originals calibrates how CEOs leading $100M+ companies are experienced in the rooms that carry the cost: board, capital, executive team, employees, market, and public visibility.

Leadership Signal Calibration is how a CEO’s signal is experienced in the rooms that carry the cost, and how it is calibrated to hold when stakes rise. When signal distorts, decisions slow, outcomes drag, trust drops, resistance rises, and scrutiny intensifies.

STRATA serves leaders accountable to boards, investors, and stakeholders where perception is not soft. It shapes capital confidence, governance pressure, talent alignment, and reputational exposure.

In these rooms, people are answering four questions in real time:

Is this leader safe to follow?

Do they mean what they say?

Will reality match their words?

Should I align, resist, wait, or leave?

Signal determines the answer.

STRATA uses a disciplined Flight Simulator methodology to calibrate leadership before the moment arrives. We work against real upcoming meetings, real pressure, and real stakes, so authority, clarity, and intent hold when consequence is on the line.

Founded by Leanne Bucaro and Alan McLaren

Leanne Bucaro is the architect of STRATA’s Leadership Signal methodology.  Her work is built on pressure-based pattern recognition and somatic and behavioural detection, clearing distortion at the source so a CEO’s signal holds when stakes rise.

Alan McLaren is a former International Chair of YPO GOLD,  with more than 37,000 leaders in 140 countries. His YPO  leadership experience informs STRATA’s vantage point on governance, leadership expectations, and scale.

Together, they have worked alongside 600+ CEOs across 18 countries refining a structured calibration architecture for leaders operating in high-pressure environments.

STRATA exists to ensure a CEO’s leadership signal holds in the rooms that carry the cost.

Signal clarity is the transformation. Mastery is the standard. 

Building Trust at Scale™ is the outcome.
