Coaching
Executive Sparring
The outside voice your team can't give you: someone who listens without relating, pushes back when your answer is the easy one, and doesn't leave until something changes.
What is Executive Sparring?
Not another coach. A sparring partner.
Traditional coaching asks questions and guides reflection. Sparring goes further — I come in from the outside, hear what you keep circling and what you keep skipping, and push back on the version of the story that's too neat. Then we decide what you're actually going to do about it.
The program
Six months that end around the dinner table
Months
A confidential partnership built around what you're actually carrying — not a curriculum.
Sparring Sessions
Every two weeks, 60 to 90 minutes, from the heart: what you're excited about, what's weighing on you, what you're avoiding.
Team Building Programs
7:47 Gratitude Experiences with your people — pairs, triads, real questions, five uninterrupted minutes each.
Customer Advisory Board
The finale: a morning keynote and a Gratitude Dinner that night with the customers who matter most.
How it works
Listen
You get heard first. No agenda but yours, and no one from inside the building in the room.
Push
Then the questions that don't let the easy answer stand — what or how, never why.
Act
Every session ends with a decision. The next one opens with what you actually did about it.
Who it's for
CEOs & Founders
Carrying a decision nobody in the room can be asked about.
Senior Executives
The person everyone brings their problem to, with no one to bring theirs to.
Rising Leaders
Close to the top and needing someone outside who'll tell them the truth.
