CEO Sparring
The conversation you can’t have with your board, your team, or your spouse.
What will you get?
Sharper decisions and named blind spots. An operator with no stake in your answer, twenty years of scars, and no agenda inside your company.
How will you know it’s working?
By the second session, in how you frame the next hard call. There are no deliverables to hide behind, which is exactly why it works.
How long?
2-hour sessions, video or in person. Twice a month, or weekly when it’s heavy. No minimum commitment; it works when it’s regular.
What’s expected of you?
You bring the real decisions, not the sanitized version.
The situation
Running a company is structurally lonely. Your board evaluates you. Your team filters what they tell you. Decisions stack up, and the people you could think out loud with all have a stake in the answer. I’m the counterpart with no stake.
What we work on
- The decision you keep postponing
- Posture: with your board, your shareholders, your exec team
- Blind spots. I’ll name the thing nobody inside will.
- The shift from founder logic to scale logic
Who it’s for
- A CEO in transition: growth, restructuring, new shareholder
- A founder whose company outgrew their old way of deciding
- An owner-manager who has no one to think against
Strict confidentiality. Nobody knows we talk unless you tell them. Pricing in one conversation.
You’re probably thinking...
A coach helps you find your own answer. I’m an operator who has sat in your chair; I’ll give you mine, and tell you when I think you’re wrong.
If a field need surfaces it can become a diagnostic or a retainer, and I won’t push it. Sparring that turns into a pipeline stops being sparring.
Nobody, unless you tell them. No logos, no testimonials, no LinkedIn post about our “journey together”.
Twenty years of P&L ownership, turnarounds, and boardrooms in three regions. You’re not paying for questions; you’re paying for scars.
Bring the two issues costing you the most time or money.
