Stop Guessing

About Your

Most Expensive

Decisions

Interactive simulations.

Live Decision-Making.

Not Just Passive Listening.

Alicia Lykos is Founder of Red Wolf Group and a leading authority on predictive talent strategy.

The Problem

You've built a successful business by making evidence-based decisions. Except when it comes to people.

Hiring. Promotions. Team design. Leadership appointments.

These are your most expensive decisions and most CEOs are making them in the dark.

The cost? Hidden drag. Turnover. Underperformance. Plateau. Mis-hires that cascade into culture problems. Leadership teams that can't execute on strategy.

Alicia puts you in the driver's seat to experience why this happens and how to fix it.

What Makes Us Different

This Is Not a Keynote

Alicia doesn't deliver talks you sit through.

She runs executive decision labs where you do the work.

You're placed in real decision-making scenarios. Assessing candidates. Diagnosing team dynamics. Making hiring calls under pressure. You experience firsthand where your instincts fail you and then learn how to make these decisions with clarity and data.

The difference:

Participants are in the driver's seat. You're not listening to case studies. You're working through live situations, confronting your own blind spots, and building frameworks you'll use immediately.

Sessions are customized for:

CEO peer groups, executive leadership teams, private equity partners and operating executives, board retreats, and leadership forums.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Growth-focused leaders who:

  • Learn best by doing, not listening
  • Get frustrated by theoretical frameworks that don't translate to real decisions
  • Respect data over instinct
  • Want to scale without the typical people problems
  • Are tired of reacting to underperformance
  • Are ready to be challenged

Ideal for: CEO and Executive peer networks, executive leadership teams, private equity portfolio CEOs, Board development sessions

WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE

You'll be put in real situations:

  • Live hiring simulations where you assess candidates and make selection decisions, then see the predictive data that reveals what you missed
  • Team diagnostic exercises where you map your current team structure and identify hidden performance drag
  • Decision-making scenarios that expose the gap between how you think you evaluate talent and how you actually do it
  • Commercial cost modeling where you calculate the real P&L impact of common people decisions

This isn't observation. It's immersion.

You'll make decisions. Get immediate feedback. Experience the cost of getting it wrong. Learn the frameworks that help you get it right.

What People Say:

“Over 14 years with TEC, I’ve seen over 100 speakers. 
Alicia is in my Top 3 of all time.” 

Frank Caruso, Founder, Caruso’s Natural Health

“Too many speakers just deliver their content with minimal or zero prep about the companies in our group. Alicia got down and dirty with real people and data from our business that certainly added value to most of the TEC members – thank you.”

Vistage Chairh

“You have gone way beyond what presenters normally do for a TEC group. The PI assessment was great, but the level of service, pre-work and conversations beforehand truly stood out.”

Andrew Jetson, Vistage Chai

“I thought this was going to be another “get to know your leadership style” but it was so much more than that. One of the most engaging speakers we have had. I really enjoyed the topic.”

Business Leader

“Incredibly relevant, some really good insights into what drives and motivates people. It had me questioning… Are my people in the right roles? Do we provide enough training? Can they get better?”

Business Leader

“Alicia provided a space where members could focus on themself and be introspective and reflective in a non confrontational way. She helped people understand themselves better. This was exactly what we needed yesterday.”

Business Leader

“Alicia offers an across the board expertise on organisation design, culture, talent development and building a deep performing team – this strength shines when in Q&A on member challenges and opportunities.”

Business Leader

“What stood out for me and for the folk standing around me, was that no matter where we stood, you made everyone feel great about their profile! This was my takeaway when I give feedback – make everyone feel special and proud of who they are.”
