    The session

    Why two 90-minute sessions

    A standard 60-minute coaching call gets you updates. It rarely gets you the real problem. I work in 90-minute sessions, twice a month. That’s enough time to get past the surface, do the real work, and leave with a decision made. We don’t finish on a cliffhanger.

    Decisions

    There’s two types of decisions. One-way doors you can’t walk back, and two-way doors you can. Most leaders treat everything like a one-way door, so everything is slow and heavy. We build the judgment to tell them apart and the speed to act. And when the same argument keeps coming back, the Decision Authority Matrix settles who decides what, once.

    Pressure

    Above the line you respond. Below it you react. And the line is fear, even though most people call it stress or overwhelm. We train you to notice which side you’re on in the moment, and to get back above the line before you send the email, make the call, or walk into the board meeting.

    Switching off

    The business follows you home. You’re at dinner, answering email in your head. This is the most common problem I coach, and it isn’t a time-management problem. It’s about who’s in charge: you, or the business. We put you back in charge.

    Confidence

    Confidence built on outcomes isn’t confidence. It breaks the first quarter the numbers dip. We build confidence on things you control: your standards, your preparation, the hard conversations you’ve had. That kind holds under pressure.

    Your team

    The honest feedback your team is too afraid to give you, and how to get it. How to coach your people instead of managing them. How to have the conversation you’ve been avoiding, this week, without blowing it up.

    The point of it all

    You didn’t start this to be owned by it. The Values Audit scores your life against what you say matters and shows you where you’ve drifted. Then we build your week around what you actually value. Don’t build a business that owns you.

    Who this is for

    If the role is heavier than it looks.

    Founders, CEOs and executive leaders. I’ve done 10,000+ hours of coaching, including six years coaching for Tony Robbins, with clients from two-person startups to a CEO running a team of 700+. If you lead people and the role is heavier than it looks from outside, this is for you.

    “Our regular monthly check-ins have helped me stay focused on real progress, work through the harder challenges, and, most importantly, separate what is genuinely critical from what is just noise. The relationship has now evolved to the point where I have also engaged Alex to work with members of my senior management team.”
