Coaching

Practical coaching for people who run things.

Most programs follow the same core process and are measured the same way, then shaped around you. What changes is the focus: you as a leader, your business as an asset, your next career step, or the relationships that matter most.

Individual

Leadership Coaching

Founders · executives · partners

For leaders who are carrying too much. We find where your time goes, what only you can do, and how to hand off the rest without things slipping.

We work on

  • Priorities and time audit
  • DISC and other behavioral assessments
  • Delegation and team structure
  • Decision-making under pressure
  • Hard conversations, prepared in advance

What we work toward

  • A calendar built around your highest-value work
  • A clear accountability chart
  • A weekly leadership rhythm

Signs it fits

  • You're the bottleneck
  • You work evenings to catch up
  • Your team waits for your answer

Owners

Owner Readiness

Owner-operators of private companies

Coaching through the eyes of a buyer. I advise on the sale of companies, so we work on the things buyers look at first: how much the business depends on you, who holds the key relationships, and the team around you, long before you need it.

We work on

  • How much the business depends on you
  • Sharing key customer and vendor relationships with your team
  • Building leaders you can hand work to
  • Succession and key-person planning

What we work toward

  • A business that leans on you less, step by step
  • Key relationships held by more than one person
  • Your most important processes written down

Signs it fits

  • You want options in 3 to 10 years
  • Key customers only call you
  • You couldn't take a week off

Career

Professional Growth

Rising managers · new executives

For professionals stepping into a bigger seat. We plan the first year in the role, build your presence with peers and the board, and set up the people who will support you.

We work on

  • Your first 90 days in the role
  • Executive presence and communication
  • Managing former peers
  • Building your board of advisors

What we work toward

  • A written plan for the role
  • A clear story about your value
  • A plan for building the right relationships

Signs it fits

  • New title, same old habits
  • You want the next seat up
  • You're leading people for the first time

Relationships

R.O.S. Approach

Couples · families · business partners · teams

The Relationship Operating System gives any important relationship a shared plan, clear agreements and a regular rhythm. Use it with a spouse or partner, your family, a business partner or a leadership team. It uses the BOND framework: Blueprint, Operating Agreement, Nurture and Dashboard.

We work on

  • A shared vision and goals
  • Who handles what
  • How you decide and disagree

What we work toward

  • Your Blueprint and Operating Agreement
  • A weekly rhythm you keep
  • A simple view of how things are going
