choose your level of access

The core of my community is made of:

• Founders, CEOs and entrepreneurs
• Investors and family offices
• Analysts, advisors, and strategic minds
• People who operate in (or around) the grey zone:
  who see complexity, ambiguity, human contradictions… and want to understand them better

But beyond titles, this is for curious minds. Some members are scientists, engineers, professors, researchers. Others work in finance, policy, diplomacy, or security. What they all have in common: they want to think for themselves and think better.

You get full access to 6 complete self-paced online courses designed to sharpen your mind and change how you move through the world. You will access a learning platform and have access to many videos, for each courses.

Yes, in one click. It's a monthly or annual membership, you choose your level of commitment. No tricks, no small print. You stay because you get value, not because you forgot to cancel.

Once a week. No daily emails, no spam, no noise. But you can see new posts almost every day directly from this website. Sometimes, I’ll write something extra, or offer something new (podcasts, videos, resources, courses, masterclass) - I don't know yet. I have a lot of ideas and projects this year.

I share a lot for free on LinkedIn. But The Grey Zone is different: it’s deeper, freer, and more personal. No filter, no algorithm here, no formatting, no performance. Just insights, ideas, observations, frameworks raw, precise, and useful. It's also an access to all my methods, knowledge, protocols.

• Human behavior, power, and influence
• Geopolitics and conflicts
• Decision-making under uncertainty
• Strategic thinking and perception
• Media, disinformation, and manipulation
• Emotional intelligence and psychological warfare
• How people, systems, and stories really work

My approach is intersectional. I don't use one discipline to analyze the world but all frames of references I've collected in my life, and the one I continue to gather. Being a polyvalent mind, I can randomly talk about quantum physics, sciences, music, spirituality, arts, economics, sociology and more.

Yes, but it’s rare, and not for everyone. I offer only 3 private advisory slots per month. The commitment is a minimum of 3 months, and includes:

• Full Premium access
• 1 private call per week with me
• 24/7 access to me by messages
• In-person sessions when needed (for sensitive or strategic matters)
• Practical training in:
  – Cultural intelligence
  – Elicitation
  – Strategic perception
  – Real-world influence and observational techniques

This is a discreet, high-trust experience, for those who operate (or want to operate) at a different level. Not just coaching. Not just consulting.
A shift in how you think, move, and lead. If this speaks to you, contact me directly: oriane(at)ocstrategic.com
