I catalyze leaders and teams to Thrive — performing at an elite level while loving what they do.

Aligned, disciplined, and able to execute when it really counts.

You want breakthrough results.

You're not short on vision, talent, or will. You know where you're going, you care about your people — and the organization still can't move at the speed or scale of the ambition.

  • The contract everything depends on is at risk

  • The next generation isn't ready — and the clock is running

  • Growth is outpacing the structure meant to hold it

  • Good people are leaving and no one can say why

  • You're buried in chaos instead of leading the business

  • The team agrees in the room, then does something different after

The two default moves — push harder or settle — both come at a cost, and both likely fail anyway. Misalignment and under-execution cost organizations more than 10% of profit a year. There's another path.

Cody Cerny spent nine years as a U.S. Air Force Special Operations Pararescueman — 200+ combat missions across Afghanistan, Iraq, and Africa, decorated twice with the Air Medal.

Afghanistan, 1am, a mile from the Pakistan border: Cody and his teammate were lowered from a helicopter to reach a Special Forces soldier who had just fallen 40 feet. An hour later, the patient was alive and stable. What saved him wasn't talent — it was setting the right conditions for elite performance to show up when called for.

Cody then spent a decade in organizational transformation — serving as Chief of Staff to one of the field's founding pioneers, then consulting at Insigniam, the firm enterprise leaders call when they need breakthrough, driving results inside fortune 200 companies.

Cerny Performance brings that same discipline to leaders and teams under high stakes, pressure, and real uncertainty — capable people who see something else possible in their performance.

Let's start with a conversation.

If any of this described your team, the next step is simple: a conversation about what you're seeing in your organization. No pitch — I want to understand what you're dealing with.
