It is late at the office in Detroit, after everyone has gone home, and you are staring at a decision that has been sitting with you for weeks: a partner who is not pulling weight, or a long-time employee who has outgrown the role. You cannot talk to the team about it, and your family has heard enough.
An executive coach is the one person whose only job is your thinking. In confidential sessions you lay out the decision, they ask the questions you have been avoiding, and you leave with a clear next step and the nerve to take it.
The big calls stop sitting on you for weeks. You decide faster and with less second-guessing, lead with more calm, and you have a standing place to think before the next one comes.
Tap the ones that sound like your week.

The names a customer compares you with, by Google review count.
A long first session on your role, your pressures, your goals and how you want to lead.
Where it helps, we talk with partners or key staff so you see how your leadership lands.
Each session focuses on what is in front of you right now, from a hard decision to a tense partnership.
Each quarter we review what changed and choose the next area to work on.
What we report every month: Decisions made on the issues raised, Progress on leadership focus areas, Owner workload and stress check-ins, and Feedback from partners or key staff over time.
Executive coaching is confidential one-on-one work with the person at the top. It focuses on how you think, decide and lead, especially under pressure. Unlike business coaching, the subject is mostly you rather than the plan, though the two often overlap.
A business coach works on the business: goals, plans, numbers and systems. An executive coach works on the leader: decisions, communication, presence and the habits that help or hurt. Owners with a solid plan and a people or leadership challenge usually need the executive coach.
Partners and family members in a business carry history into every meeting. Coaching each one, and sometimes meeting together, gives a neutral place to sort out roles and direction before small disagreements turn into a split. Where legal or ownership changes come up, we involve your attorney.
Cost depends on how often you meet, whether team or partner input is gathered and how much on-call time you want around big moments. An owner working through one decision needs less than one reshaping how they lead. The result is a single fixed monthly fee, agreed after a short and confidential first call.
Look for someone who has sat in the owner's chair and can keep a confidence. The first conversation should feel candid, with real questions about your situation. Ask how they handle a client who avoids the hard topic, and expect an honest answer.
They care, but they know you too well to be neutral and rarely know the business.
Helpful perspective from other owners, but time is shared and confidential topics can be hard to raise.
One-on-one confidential coaching from someone who has run businesses, focused on the decisions in front of you.
