CEO looking for help? 

The CEO role is relentless, the pressure is unparalleled, the CEO job never stops and can feel like 24/7 is not enough - you know this and living this.

Being the CEO is a real privilege, leading tens to thousands of professionals but often you are too in the weeds, fighting every fight and not zooming out, working ON the business not IN the business.

Why CEOs Struggle & Seek Help

  • CEOs are most often too close to the problem and cannot unpick them clearly with focused next steps

  • CEOs are rarely actually supported and have that person who can help to hold them accountable, guide them forward, focus or actually refocus them and develop their leadership style and skills.

  • However, many CEOs struggle with the concept of having an exec coach, having someone who will help you even when you’re the most senior and the leader your company rely on - this is why you actually need a coach and support

  • Being a CEO is lonely and being recommended a coach or the wrong coach takes your time and energy away from being the best executive you can

  • Almost every CEO is short on time, short on resources and struggling to get out of the weeds and work on the bigger pieces like mission, vision and strategy - the right coach drives you to these essential work streams

  • The problems YOU likely have:

    • Loss of confidence as a person or as a business leader

    • Loss of influence or buy in - the company is struggling to buy into the bigger vision or long term strategy

    • Continued frustration with delivery from your departments or a lack of growth

    • Performance Anxiety: Your company is scared of delivering high-quality work, having struggled for quarters to hit the metrics the business has set

    • Lack of a good sparring partner - one who doesn’t bow to your demands but you need someone who drives you to be better

    • No time to manage, let alone lead

      • “Leaders lead” is a saying you have likely heard a lot but doesn’t help you actually step out and step up - the right coach helps unlock hours a week to lead

    • Lost connection with your C-Suite and actively want to refresh or reset the connections 

    • Lost confidence in the people around you and cannot say exactly why

    • Lost with so many new moving parts, new roadmaps, new channels from Marketing and new tech that no one can explain and put the right business case together

    • Lost your edge (don’t worry almost everyone feels this way)

    • No Support Network (whether that’s from your fellow C-suite members, investors, VCs or chair)

    • Things feel too much (and you don’t want to have to fix another issue where your team should be)

These are all problems we will solve together in drill based coaching…

CEO Coaching Summarised

What is it?

  • Leadership & exec coaching designed for modern day CEOs who are struggling with company and people performance

  • Or failing to connect to their fellow to their C-Suite

  • A program designed to regain your focus, confidence and improve your performance, your company performance and delivery from the most junior to most senior team members

Who’s it for?

  • CEOs (and other variations of CEO title - who want to have training and be coached for better results and personal growth)

Why do leaders use this method?

  • Have a new way of improving results

  • A personalized coaching plan and performance plan

  • To get more informed about their company - there are a number of bespoke exercises the coachees and I will go through to understand and learn the important layers leaders are unaware of or what is being kept away from the CEO

  • Regain leadership confidence

  • Build out the organisation and use org design more smartly - more headcount rarely = better results

  • Most commonly when your company performance drops or you need growth, leaders need to know how to gain cut through with their business, how to galvanize their C-Suite and department leads and remove the constant excuses

When do CEOs and other leaders use it?

  • CEOs who want personalised plans

  • When newly promoted to the CEO role and need help to set out their style and their plan

  • When they feel like they have stopped learning or stopped learning from other CEOs just following the same playbook as others

  • When CEOs feel disconnected or “too old” for more new — new tech, new channels - this is very common

  • When joining a new company or new disciplines or business lines are added and it is out of your wheelhouse or comfort zone

  • When the Chair, Board, VCs or the investors start to ask hard questions or direct performance-related questions and you struggle to answer without making it sound like you are across it, sound like more excuses or keep repeating previous messages and promises

  • When the company starts to struggle and it is then its everyone's job to grow the business, but it is on your shoulders

How long?

  • Usually 10-15 hours - over 2, 5, 10 to 15 sessions. Typically over a series of weeks, most effective is the same time each week for 10-15 weeks.

    • Many will opt for a series of training across three of months, and some opt for the intensive option of 1-2 days back-to-back coaching sessions.

      Coaching is typically over video calls as it is more efficient for time purposes however in person is available

The Questions You Want Answered:

  • I have helped a number of senior leaders, including CEOs, Founders and Co-Founders, COOs, and CMOs and Growth leads.

  • I have a ten point coaching system that drives change for execs, this was built from years of experience, interview series with 10s of CEOs and a desire to turn company leads into leaders

  • CEOs who actually want to make a difference and work at being the best leader they can be. It is for the new breed of CEOs who understand that they need help, they need to collaborate and understand what is happening in the business rather than dictate. So if you are a CEO who wants to change or wants to progress, we will be a good fit

  • Not everyone is a match, some coaches copy and paste their methods to all clients which isn’t designed for you. Other times CEOs make no effort and have been the most senior for so long they forget how to learn and adapt. The mandatory matching call ensures we will fit and you understand the requirements of the coaching to get the best results for you, your CEO career and your business

  • If we haven’t made the light switch flip within five coaching sessions it will be a struggle to make a positive impact in more sessions. 15 sessions is at least 15 hours which are two days of fully focused work, many CEOs are completely delivery-focused and want to be empowered to go and drive their business forward. Long-standing coaching will work great, however, this approach struggles to have results quickly enough for you to have the confidence it is working for the short, mid and long term. My check in sessions are designed to hold you accountable for quarters to come. Happy to discuss this further

  • The coaching system is based on 10-15 sessions but also can be priced as a retainer-based agreement.

    Pricing is based on your sector and will be discussed on the matching call

Not Just Another Exec Coach

My 10 Point System Broken Down

Designed for the modern-day leader & not based on boilerplate & overly academic training that is not designed for you!

  • Been there, seen it and done it too (many haven’t & haven’t recently) - I have lived on the same rollercoaster aka the high highs and lowest of lows, I know the pitfalls, I know the struggles, I have applied these alongside interviewed 20x leaders to ensure this drills based coaching approach works across different businesses

  • Honed the process with c-suite leaders and bespoke sessions so can work across 1 intensive day, 2x half days or best with 10-15x sessions

  • Fit First: The mandatory 15-minute matching call removes the chance of not being the right fit and ensures this coaching method is right for you  (and we will work well together)

  • Coach x Therapy: I researched and blended exec coaching, sports coaching & therapy & created a dedicated workspace to develop a safe space to collaborate and evolve your skills (= no time wasting)

  • Built Deliberately Differently: Proven system based on the foundations of sports coaching including sports drills and analysis of therapy and structuring around therapy sessions – this is to maximise your time and output

The System Broken Down Further:

  1. Issues, Jams & Situations: We will workshop issues, and potential issues, & revisit previous situations to improve your skills and decision-making skills to ensure you are the team work together and can drive the business forward

  2. Skills-Based Development: You will evolve in every session and adapt your training based on business needs and your personal profile

  3. Manageable Time Slots For You: We are all busy, therefore the workshops are shaped around 1-hour workshop coaching sessions (typically based on 10-15+ sessions) to focus on your personal and professional development

  4. No Wasted Time - Ever: Both hybrid and in-person coaching, this is designed to help you maximise your time and have a personalised playbook to move your performance and the business performance forward. ROI focused coaching.

  5. Homework! It is a homework-based system, you have to be invested and invest in yourself and the system, homework is an essential part of your development and carrying on the training post workshops is critical in your investment and development

  6. WorkIQ, IQ, EQ (emotional intelligence) & PQ (political intelligence) Based Coaching: IQ will be improved by traditional “hard skills” development, WorkIQ as a CEO is how you manage the company, the people around you, connected to you and those who are high potential, EQ will be developed on life skills (there is no such thing as soft skills) and PQ (political intelligence) - improving how you operate and mature as a leader with your business and galvanize those around you

  7. Proven Framework & Exercises: I provide proven frameworks and exercises to improve operational skills, improve situations you or your team are struggling with, reduce decision fatigue and help to up-skill you and those around you

  8. Roll Out To Your Own Team: Coaching system you can then roll out to your leadership team (with all of your coaching materials available 24/7)

  9. Workshops Not Chats: Coaching sessions are “workshops” (with coaching foundation on drills not chats) based training and 1-2-1 coaching – this is to ensure you are moving forward and have tangible outputs and is results orientated rather than just uncovering problems

  10. ROI: Every session is designed for you to gain a return on investment, yes ROI from session 1, whether that is the company paying or you self-funding you will know you have invested wisely.

Don’t Just Take My Word - Here’s Nick Saying How I Helped Him

“I’ve been working with Danny for several months now, and I can honestly say that the experience has been invaluable.

He has helped me to develop a range of valuable tools and frameworks that I can use internally within my organization to develop our strategy.

Thanks to his guidance and expertise, I now have a much clearer understanding of how to structure our business goals and the steps we need to take to achieve them.

He has provided me with structure and direction, and has challenged me to think more strategically and creatively about how we can grow and succeed as a company.

I would highly recommend Danny to anyone looking to take their business to the next level. His knowledge, experience, and passion for helping others succeed are truly unmatched, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him again."
