Ninety minutes · Silicon Valley or on video
You bring the one thing you cannot get past. Ninety minutes on it, with Wei Houng, who has spent over thirty years on why people get stuck. You leave with the Session Recording, and a plan you can tap to replay any moment of it.
If it wasn't worth it, you get it back. Thirty days, no reason needed.
See the open times →You pick a time, answer the three questions, and pay on that screen. Thirty days from the day your plan arrives to ask for it back.
This is for one specific thing
You have already tried the obvious moves and some of the clever ones. The people around you cannot quite see it, and it has not shifted no matter how you come at it.
If that sentence is close to the one in your head, this is the page for you.
It might be a hire you keep postponing, a conversation you have rehearsed for a year and never had, or a part of the business you keep rebuilding every eighteen months. If you can name it in one sentence and it has still not moved, it belongs here.
This is mostly for founders and people running something, and the thing you are stuck on does not have to be a work thing.
Often the thing you can name is the surface of it. Underneath sits a set of reasons that have been running that decision for years, and most of them were installed by somebody else.
Plenty of the people who book this are doing well by every measure the outside world keeps. Revenue, headcount, the house, the title. And they are not enjoying much of any of it. Money rich, happiness poor. They built the thing they were told to want, with their own hands, and somewhere in the building it stopped being theirs.
So the ninety minutes goes after the reasons. Why the call keeps not getting made, what overrides it every time, and which of the things you are working toward you actually chose.
A hard decision is a different problem and it takes a different kind of help. A decision responds to better thinking. A block does not, which is why yours is still there after everything you have thrown at it.
If you already know what the right answer is and still have not done it, that is a block. If you cannot tell what the right answer is, that is a decision, and better thinking will move it.
So the fact that it has lasted at all is the tell. Months is enough. If it has been years, that is not a mark against you and it is not a sign you were slow about it. Either way, a thing that outlasts everything you have thrown at it is the second kind, and the second kind is what the ninety minutes is built for.
What actually happens
You send three answers before you come. Wei reads them beforehand, so the ninety minutes starts where it should.
Then ninety minutes on the one thing. No curriculum and no slides. Wei has spent decades on why people get stuck. Most of the time goes to the story you have been telling yourself about this problem, because that story is usually where the block is sitting.
Most of the session is you talking. Wei asks about the places your account of it stops holding together. He arrives having read your answers and with no agenda built from them.
One of the things people bring most often is a hire they have not made. They have known for a year that the job needs to leave their desk. Every time it comes up, the sentence is a version of the same one: this person does eighty percent of what I can do, and I can do a hundred.
The move is not to argue with the sentence. It is to notice that it never varies, and that it always arrives attached to the same next clause, which is some form of but I hate doing it. Both halves have been sitting in one sentence the whole time. Hearing them next to each other is usually where it ends.
What you leave with
Ninety minutes of this does not leave a tidy memory. By the end of the week the exact words are gone.
So you get the audio, and you get an Integration Action Plan: a short page you open on your phone or laptop. It marks the moments that mattered, in your own words. Each one is a button. Tap it and the recording plays from that second.

The sentence you kept coming back to.00:34:12
The thing you said you had already ruled out.01:02:47
What you said when you were asked why it still mattered.01:19:10
Your plan carries what you actually said, and each marker plays that part of the recording.
So in six weeks you open the plan, tap the moment you need, and hear that part of the session again.
Who you would be sitting with
Wei Houng has worked with entrepreneurs and companies for over thirty years, from some of the largest companies in the world down to people bootstrapping out of a spare room. He puts the number of people he has sat with in the thousands. He started coaching twenty-five years ago.
What he studies is how a person assembles the account of their own life, and where that account stops holding together. That is the entire mechanic of the ninety minutes.
Mostly he does it with founders and people running companies. Also professional athletes, first responders, veterans, and executives inside very large organisations. It behaves the same way in all of those rooms.
The formal training behind it is NLP and hypnosis, at master practitioner and trainer level, and Mental Emotional Release. Thousands of hours of one-to-one work, all of it blended rather than one method at a time.
He has a computer science engineering degree he barely used. What he did instead was a long run of jobs that were all, underneath, about people: IT, mortgages, digital marketing, sales and marketing, personal training, and general manager of several restaurants, where he built the training programs. Four of those happened inside a single decade, and one client followed him through all four. Until the pandemic he also ran a seminar company with two flagship events a year.
His methods are written down rather than kept proprietary. He would rather people could eventually do this without him.
“I stopped doing one-to-one work because the shape of it wore me down. Standing weekly calls, a program to run people through, carrying somebody’s momentum between sessions. What I actually love is the other thing: someone brings me what they are stuck on and we break it open in the room. So that is the only thing I am offering.”
Wei Houng · Co-founder of HumanOp
How people use it
One came once. One came back over years. One books a session for each person she hires. Every one of those was bought on its own.
No long term commitment. Just book when I need to deep dive and breakthrough blocks, usually of me getting in my own way. With Wei's a la carte guidance, as I like to call it, my lifestyle is just as busy, just not with just work. Busy with the other aspects I was missing, like family and relationships. For most people, one is all you need.Mitchell B., Executive, Financial Services Firm
I used to see him once a quarter for one 90 minute session at a time. I started seeing him just once a year, because since he already knew me so well over the years, a full year was needed to implement it all.Jennifer N., founder, social media marketing agency
I have Wei do a 90 minute onboarding session for all my employees. No longer do I have to guess about how to create the perfect role for each new person I bring into any of my organizations.Wendy B., founder, real estate and escrow companies
I'm still not quite sure how he was able to do it. I always thought my writing was a means to an end. With Wei's help, I've come to realize that my ability to universally translate into words the essence of what people want to say is my unique gift.Katie C., Journalist and Writer

The quotes are shortened. Nothing inside them has been added or reworded. Names are abbreviated at our clients' request, and some of the people we work with cannot be quoted at all. Every one of these was volunteered. We have never paid for a testimonial.
What this costs
There is nothing else to buy and no package this leads into.
You reply and say you want one. We send you a booking link, you pick a slot and answer the three questions there, and you pay at that point.
If you would rather not wait for us, the calendar is here, and it is the same link we would send you.
If any of those three things does not happen, tell us and we refund the full $1,500.
And what you say stays between you and Wei. Only Wei ever hears the recording, and it is transcribed and written up entirely on our own equipment, so nothing you say is sent to any outside service. If your situation needs an NDA, say so and we will send a mutual one before you book.
Your Session Recording and Integration Action Plan arrive within three business days of the session, and the thirty days starts then, rather than on the day you pay.
Tell us within thirty days of the day we send them and we return it in full. You do not need to give a reason and we will not ask for one. One email to [email protected] is the whole process.
We reply by the end of the next business day and start the refund to your original card at the same time. It usually appears on your statement within five to ten business days.
What you keep either way: the Session Recording, the transcript and the Integration Action Plan are yours. If you would rather we deleted our copies, say so in the same email and we will confirm within seven days.
What this is not
It is not therapy and it is not crisis support. If you are in acute distress, or carrying something that needs clinical care, this is not the right kind of help. Tell us and we will say so plainly and refund you, on the day if it comes to that.
Who this does not work for
One filter, because it saves us both the ninety minutes. If you have not tried anything yet, you are undecided, and that is a different and much easier problem. Come back when you have thrown real effort at this and it has held.
Before you come
Wei reads all three before you meet, so the ninety minutes starts where it should.
Where it happens
Most sessions are on video, and nothing about the ninety minutes changes when they are. Same length, same three questions, same recording, same plan, same price.
If being in the same physical space matters to you, say so when you write and we will arrange it. Wei is in the Bay Area. We can book somewhere private, or he can come to you.
A door that closes, and nobody who reports to you on the other side of it. Ninety minutes of this only works if you can say the thing you have not said out loud yet, and you cannot do that with your team walking past the glass. If your own office cannot give you that, tell us and we will find somewhere that can.
Four sessions a week, and nothing is bookable inside 48 hours, because Wei reads your answers first. We will send you what is open when you write.
Questions
Write down all of them. Which one is underneath is often the first thing we find.
No. It is a free fifteen-minute questionnaire about how you work. It helps, and it is not required. Take it here.
Yes. Same session, same price.
Book another. There is no package and no commitment either way, and no follow-up built in.
Yes, audio, and Wei asks you at the start so your consent is on tape. Only Wei ever hears the recording.
Nothing you say is sent to anybody. The recording is transcribed on our own equipment, and the plan is written with the help of an open source AI model running on that same machine. No third party service touches the audio or the transcript, so there is no vendor holding a copy of it.
You can decline the recording and still have the session.
If your situation needs one, say so and we will send a mutual NDA before you book. Most people do not ask, and nothing about the session changes either way. We treat it as confidential either way, wherever the session happens.
You reply, we send you a booking link, and you pay there when you pick your slot.
Tell us any time before your slot and we will move you to the next one that works. No fee, no penalty, no cut-off. You have already paid, so it is only a change of date.
If you would rather cancel altogether, say so and we return it in full. If we ever have to cancel on you, the same applies and you get first pick of the next open slot.
Yes. Say so when you reply and we will send an invoice and a receipt with whatever billing details you need.
Wei is on Pacific time and the open slots follow it. Say where you are when you write and we will find one that works. It has been made to work across most time zones so far.
Usually the following week. There are four slots a week and nothing is bookable inside 48 hours, so the honest answer is that it depends on which of the four is still open.
Email [email protected] within thirty days of the day we send your Session Recording and Integration Action Plan, and we return it in full without asking you to justify it.
You already know which thing this is about.
Pick one of the open times. The three questions are on the booking page, and Wei reads your answers before you arrive.
If somebody sent you here, tell us who so we can thank them. It changes nothing about your price.
