FAQ

Questions owners ask about executive coaching

  • You do not have to know. It starts with a free call, where we talk about the company and what is stuck. Then the Bottleneck Diagnostic, a fixed piece of work at $1,500 that names the one thing holding the company back. The report tells you which service fits, if any does. If the problem is something we do not fix, we say so and you keep the report.
  • No. A scope quoted before the diagnosis is a guess. The diagnostic is short, fixed at $1,500, and stands on its own, so finding out what you actually need does not cost you an open engagement.
  • The free call costs nothing. The Bottleneck Diagnostic is $1,500. Everything after that is scoped and priced from what the diagnostic finds, and agreed in writing before work starts. There are no hourly meters and no change orders halfway through.
  • Almost all of the work transfers to video with nothing lost, at the same price as in-person delivery, across all 50 US states. The exception is facilitation with a full leadership team, which we prefer to run in person at least once because reading a room of eight people over video is genuinely harder.
