Coaching

“Coaching the way you think”

Individual Coaching

Our individual coaching program empowers leaders to transition from unconscious reactions to conscious responses, while honing disciplined thinking under pressure, environmental interpretation, and strategic design. Drawing from multiple disciplines, we begin with deep inquiry into your personal leadership story to uncover unconscious patterns, natural assets, and inner drivers. This new awareness helps you tap into inner resources and transform sources of doubt into confidence.

Integrated with strategic leadership fundamentals from Special Operations Red Teaming, systems thinking, strategic artistry, and creative design, the focus shifts to building competitive advantage in contested spaces like competitive markets, complex stakeholder environments, and rapidly evolving landscapes. Emphasizing the triad of Clarity, Direction, and Inspiration, we ensure decisions are rooted in critical thinking rather than unexamined intuition.

This approach is ideal for leaders seeking personal breakthroughs, enhanced strategic acumen, and the ability to adapt faster in high-stakes scenarios.

Team Coaching

The best teams are grounded in trust, honest communication, and empathy. All are essential traits that, when absent, cause teams to fail. We uncover the team's history, test underlying assumptions held by members, and align on new behaviors that strengthen these core elements. This fast, pragmatic process relies on simple, effective tools that deliver measurable results through structured inquiry and agreement.

Incorporating elements of from Special Operations reflective thinking (Red Teaming) such as systems thinking, complexity, design, and adaptive strategy we address how teams think collectively under pressure, interpret shared environments, and design collaborative strategies. The triad of Clarity, Direction, and Inspiration guides team dynamics, ensuring alignment in contested spaces and rapid evolution.

Sessions are tailored to the team's needs, with a focus on practical application to resolve challenges, enhance problem-solving, and create a unified path forward. This blended method supports executive teams in achieving breakthrough thinking, powerful insights, and sustained inspiration.

Outcomes: Changing behavior leads to a Stronger leader, thinker, and communicator; Enhanced organizational capability.
