Coaching Offers

Five Offers, One Senior Coach

Everything Sharp delivers is built around a single question: what would make the leadership team measurably better at running this business inside ninety days? These are the offers that answer it.

01 · Coaching

Owner-Operator Coaching

One-on-one coaching for the founder, CEO, or managing partner. A weekly session that combines business coaching with executive coaching, a quarterly reset that resets priorities, and a running list of the decisions that need to close this quarter. The relationship is confidential and long-term by design.

What we work on:

  • The growth move for the year and the number that actually matters.
  • The hire, the promotion, or the exit that unblocks the org chart.
  • The two or three decisions the owner keeps postponing.
  • Owner wellbeing, boundaries, and the way work meets life.
02 · Cadence

Team Management and Cadence Install

The operating rhythm most owner-led firms are missing. Weekly one-on-ones between every manager and every direct report. Monthly performance reviews on a real cycle. A quarterly planning day that translates the strategy into the moves each function is running. A decision-of-the-week that closes on Friday instead of drifting into next quarter.

We install the cadence, sit in the first cycles, coach the managers who are running it for the first time, then hand it back to the leadership team.

What gets installed:

  • Weekly one-on-one templates and manager coaching for the first six cycles.
  • Monthly performance review rhythm with structured notes and follow-through.
  • Quarterly planning day with owner and leadership team.
  • Decision cadence that names owner, deadline, and next step.
03 · Strategy

Corporate Strategy Translation

The strategy is not the problem. The problem is that nobody below the executive team can act on it. Sharp translates the strategy into operating goals each department can own, scorecards each function head can defend, and the two or three moves each team is running this quarter. Slides get thinner. Meetings get shorter. Follow-through goes up.

What we produce:

  • A one-page operating goals document tied to the strategy.
  • Department-level scorecards with clear owners and cadences.
  • Quarterly OKRs or equivalent for each function.
  • A rhythm for reviewing progress that does not turn into theater.
04 · Team

Leadership Team Performance

Group coaching for the executive team. How the leadership team makes decisions together, how disagreement gets on the table without breaking trust, and how each function head is measured. The work is part team coaching, part meeting design, part decision architecture. It shows up as fewer meetings, sharper meetings, and better calls between them.

Where teams need structured 1:1s and review cycles in one place after we leave, our recommendation is the HeyRamp platform, a clean way to keep the cadence running without adding admin overhead.

What we work on:

  • Decision rights across the leadership team, in writing.
  • Meeting design that produces decisions, not just discussion.
  • Conflict handling that keeps trust intact.
  • How each executive is measured and how those measures interact.
05 · Presence

Executive Communication and Presence

Coaching for owners and senior leaders who need to raise their communication ceiling. Board updates that hold attention. All-hands talks that carry the change the org actually needs to hear. Investor conversations with fewer wasted words. The difficult one-on-one that keeps getting postponed. Same voice, sharper edge, more weight per sentence.

What we work on:

  • Board updates and investor conversations.
  • All-hands talks and internal announcements.
  • The hard one-on-one with a senior report.
  • How the leader shows up when the pressure goes up.
Engagement Timeline

How An Engagement Runs

The 90-day install is the core Sharp engagement. Predictable phases, honest checkpoints, ownership handed back to the leadership team by day ninety.

Weeks 1-2

Diagnostic

Interviews with the owner and every leadership team member. A quiet review of the numbers, the org chart, and the calendar. A short document that names the real constraint.

Weeks 3-4

Frame

The cadence gets designed on paper. Roles, meeting rhythm, decision rights, and scorecards proposed. The owner signs off on what will actually change.

Weeks 5-10

Install

Weekly one-on-ones, monthly reviews, and the leadership team meeting all run for the first time. The coach sits in, gives feedback, and coaches managers in real time.

Weeks 11-12

Hand Back

The leadership team runs the cadence without the coach in the room. A closeout document names what stuck, what still needs work, and what an ongoing retainer would look like.

Specializations

Where Sharp Goes Deep

The full offer works across most owner-led firms. These are the situations where the practice has particular depth.

Founder Succession

The moment a founder starts stepping back and the operating model has to stop living inside their head.

First-Time CEO Support

A new CEO who inherited a business, a family firm, or a portfolio company and needs a senior coach on their side.

Post-Acquisition Integration

Two teams becoming one team. Decision rights, cadence, and communication set up before culture fills the gap.

Growth-Stage Bottlenecks

The founder has become the ceiling. Sharp installs the layer that lets the leadership team carry more of the load.

Family Business Transitions

Second and third generation firms working through roles, ownership, and the difficult conversation between family and firm.

Professional Services Firms

Agencies, consultancies, and specialty operators where partner alignment, utilization, and hiring cadence run the business.

Engagement Shapes

Three Ways To Work Together

Pick the shape that fits what the business needs right now. Most owners start with the 90-day install and continue on a monthly retainer once the cadence is running.

90 Days

Coaching + Install

The core engagement. Diagnostic, cadence install, coaching through the first cycles, and a clean handoff to the leadership team.

Monthly

Retained Advisory

Ongoing retainer for owners and leadership teams that want a senior coach on call. Two sessions a month, a quarterly reset, unlimited async questions.

1 Day

Leadership Team Intensive

A focused off-site, run remotely or on location. Comes back with three decisions made, one cadence agreed, and the next quarter scoped.
