From Survival to Strategic Advantage
How Crisis Intelligence Became Executive Methodology
"I know the isolation of making decisions when everything feels like a threat."
Our Story
From Freetown, Sierra Leone, through the South Bronx, to Fortune 500 boardrooms, I've navigated environments where traditional approaches don't work. 40+ years of crisis navigation taught me this: your survival instincts are your competitive advantage—if you know how to activate them systematically.
Most executives face their first major crisis unprepared. The frameworks that got you promoted weren't designed for when everything's falling apart
The FERAL Framework™ isn't theory—it's systematic methodology forged in environments where failure carried real consequences, refined through practical application across Fortune 500 contexts.
WHY THIS MATTERS:
While others teach you what to think, I teach you how to think when thinking fails. Your hardest experiences contain your greatest leadership advantages—most people just don't know how to access them systematically.
Ibrahim Daffae combines lived crisis experience with systematic methodology development, creating approaches unavailable through traditional business education.
