Who Brad works with
Brad coaches founders and senior leaders whose businesses already work but take too much from them. Many run firms that are scaling, including small agencies. They are ambitious, drive themselves hard, and feel the toll of carrying the business.
How Brad works
Brad starts with the leader, not org charts or OKRs. Sessions are a space for deep thinking and honest reflection, not therapy or advice. Together they uncover the patterns, habits and stories that keep a leader in the weeds. Clients can also take a 10-question assessment that shows their business growth phase and the mindset shifts that come next.
