1:1 Executive coaching · 915 Joshua, TX
It’s just nine conversations. They tend to rearrange things.

Nobody hands the new VP a manual.
So we wrote one — across nine Thursdays, in a room with the door shut and your phone in the basket by it.

Questions directors ask in the first ten minutes
01
Isn’t this just costly advice I could get from a business book?
A book can’t watch you run your Monday staff meeting and tell you where you lost the room at 9:14. We do that, then you fix it before the next one.
02
How long until I stop feeling like everyone can tell I was promoted by accident?
Most people report it easing around session five. It never fully vanishes — the good ones keep a little of it on purpose.
03
Do you make me take one of those four-colour personality quadrant tests?
No. Our 360 is fourteen structured interviews with people who actually work with you. It takes about three weeks and reads nothing like a horoscope.
04
Can my whole leadership team come in, not just me?
Yes — that’s the offsite. One or two facilitated days off the county road, phones in a basket by the door, one uncomfortable agenda item that everyone’s been avoiding.
Four ways to work together
Pick one. There’s no upsell afterward.
Every program is invoiced once, net-15. There’s no monthly meter running and no session you didn’t schedule.
The Traverse
Nine sessions and one full 360 across twenty weeks. The flagship — and the one we’d choose ourselves if we were newly a VP.

The 360
Standalone assessment: fourteen interviews with the people around you, one honest afternoon debrief, zero quadrant charts. Runs about three weeks.

The Offsite
One or two facilitated days for the whole leadership team, out at the farmhouse. We bring the agenda and the coffee; you bring the thing nobody will say out loud.
From $6,800Plan an offsite
The 360 takes three weeks to run properly.
It’s the most useful three weeks of the whole engagement — fourteen voices, one afternoon, no scores out of ten.

What actually changes
01 — Your calendar
You get about six hours a week back
Mostly by handing back the work you kept doing out of habit, and by ending three recurring meetings that stopped earning their slot.
02 — The conversation
The one you kept moving to next week — you have it, once
We rehearse it, then you have it for real. Afterward it stops living rent-free in the back of every other meeting.
03 — The team
The week you’re on the beach in Galveston, it still runs
Because the decisions that used to route through you now have owners, and the owners know it.
The paper trail
The engagement, in its paperwork
Five documents you’ll actually keep. Scroll sideways.
01
The 41-question intake
Filled out before session one, in your own words. It’s where the real work starts, quietly.
02
The two-page bearing
Where you actually stand as a leader, printed on two sides of one page. No jargon, no radar chart.
03
Session five: the recalibration
The halfway honesty check — what’s moved, what hasn’t, and what we quietly drop.
04
The 360 debrief
Fourteen voices, one afternoon, a box of tissues on standby that mostly goes unused.
05
The letter to yourself
Sealed in session one. Opened in session nine. Almost nobody predicts what they wrote.

You got the title because you were good at the old job. This is a different job.
