Coaching

Two ways to work
with us directly.

For people who want the situation they're actually in named and worked through, not another framework.

Hard Conversations
$197
60-min session with Patrick or James

The conversation you've been putting off.

A focused 60-minute session built around one specific situation. You bring it. We work through it together, directly, with no filler and no frameworks.

Book a session ($197)

Most managers know which conversation needs to happen. The problem is not information. It is doing it live, with a real person, without it going sideways. This session is built for that moment.

What happens in the session
  • 01
    Intake form before the call. You tell us the situation in advance so we arrive prepared. No time wasted getting up to speed.
  • 02
    60 minutes, all action. No theory section. No warm-up. We work through your specific situation from the first minute.
  • 03
    You leave with a clear next move. Not a reflection exercise. A specific action: what to say, when to say it, and how to handle the likely response.
  • 04
    Optional follow-up session. If the situation develops or the first conversation opens something new, a follow-up session is available.
What you'll leave with
  • →
    The opening line. Exactly how to start the conversation: the words, not just the intention.
  • →
    A prepared response to pushback. We anticipate the likely reaction and prepare you for it before you walk in.
  • →
    Clarity on the standard. What you expect, stated specifically, so there is no room for misinterpretation after.
Hard Conversations Workbook
$19
Standalone, or free with session booking

Prepare for the conversation before you're in it.

A practical workbook covering five conversation types every manager faces. Built to be used, not read once and shelved.

Included free with every session booking

Most hard conversations go wrong before they start, because the manager walked in without a clear picture of what they wanted to say or how the other person was likely to respond. This workbook closes that gap.

The five conversation types
  • 01
    Performance and accountability: addressing missed standards before they become a pattern.
  • 02
    Behavior and conflict: naming what is happening without making it personal.
  • 03
    Feedback: both positive and corrective, delivered in a way that actually lands.
  • 04
    The promotion conversation: how to handle it with someone who expected it and someone who didn't.
  • 05
    Personal issues affecting work: the hardest conversation to start and the easiest to avoid.
How it works
  • →
    Each conversation type follows the same structure: specific behavior → impact → required change → prepare your opening → anticipate the response. The promotion and personal issues sections use adapted frameworks suited to those situations.

Private Coaching

Book a founder directly for a specific situation, or work with us on a longer plan. No packages you didn't ask for.

Book a call

Sometimes the situation is too specific, too confidential, or too urgent for a group program. Private coaching is one-to-one, with Patrick or James directly, not handed off to an associate. You bring the situation as it actually is. We work through it.

Some people book a single session for a specific conversation they need to have next week. Others work with us over several months as they navigate a challenge or goal. Either is fine. We don't push you toward a package you didn't ask for.

How it works
  • 01
    Work with Patrick or James directly. You know who you're booking. No matching process, no handoff.
  • 02
    By the session or on a structured plan. Decide on the call what fits: one session or an ongoing arrangement.
  • 03
    Confidential. Bring the situation as it actually is: the politics, the history, the thing you can't say in a group session.
  • 04
    Cross-industry. We have worked across manufacturing, supply chain, hospitality, logistics, and retail. The dynamics translate.
Good reasons to book
  • →
    You have a specific conversation you need to have in the next week or two
  • →
    The situation involves personnel details you cannot share in a group
  • →
    You want ongoing support through your first year in the role
  • →
