The job nobody
trained you for.
You were promoted for being good at the work, then handed six people and a calendar full of meetings. Everything that made you effective before is now roughly a third of the job.

How we work
Coaching, not HR and not legal
Everything discussed stays between us. We're not connected to your employer, we don't report to anyone, and the point is to have somewhere to think out loud about a job that's suddenly very different.
We're also not employment lawyers or an HR department. Discipline, termination, discrimination, accommodation and anything with legal weight goes to your HR team and qualified counsel — we'll help you prepare and we won't advise on the law.
Frequently asked
The questions we get most
I was promoted over my former peers.
One of the most common and least discussed situations. It's worth addressing directly and early, and we'll rehearse exactly how.
Someone on my team isn't performing.
We'll prepare that conversation properly — specific, early and documented. Anything moving toward formal process belongs with HR, and we'll say when you're at that point.
Is this confidential?
Yes. We have no relationship with your employer and share nothing. Group sessions run on the understanding that nothing leaves the room.
I don't have time for coaching.
That's usually the symptom. The delegation and priorities program is mostly about getting the week back.
Can you tell me if I can fire someone?
No — that's legal and HR territory and varies by state. We help you think, prepare and document; the advice comes from them.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contract, no minimum term. Access stays open until the end of the month you already paid for.
