The Transformation

The Coach People Call for Brilliant but Difficult Leaders

From Control to Respected Influence

Without Losing Your Edge

When Your Strength Becomes Your Ceiling:


You're exhausted from being the only one who can get things done right. Your team waits for your approval on everything. Good people keep leaving. Innovation has stalled because everyone's walking on eggshells.
 

Personal Impact:
 

  • Bottlenecked by every decision waiting for you

  • Frustrated doing everything yourself because you can't trust others

  • Isolated - no one tells you the truth anymore

 

Business Impact:
 

  • Contract values declining and talent hemorrhaging (150-200% replacement costs)

  • Quality suffering from rushed decisions and overworked teams

  • Innovation flatlined - people afraid to think outside your box

  • and more...

 

The very drive that built your success is now strangling your growth.

What This Transformation
Looks Like

I guide leaders through a 6-month, high-intensity transformation designed for leaders who can't afford to wait.


Your commanding style got you here, but it's now your biggest obstacle. We'll harness that intensity to create influence that drives results.

 

  • Lead with presence, not pressure.

  • Build loyalty that lasts.

  • Get the truth you need, not just agreement.

  • Unlock innovation and execution you’ve been missing.

​

How We Get There

  • Immersion Kickoff: Deep diagnostics, 360 feedback, and your Dominant Leader profile through various assessments.

  • A tailored Development Action Plan built from your assessments.

  • Shadowing key meetings or reviewing your interactions.

  • Bi-weekly Elite Coaching: Strategy calls, reflections, crisis navigation.

  • Stakeholder Calibration: Alignment reports measuring behavioral shifts and business impact.

  • Unlimited Access: On-demand check-ins when old patterns try to take over.

This Isn't For Everyone

This engagement is designed for:

 

  • CEOs, founders, or senior executives leading teams of 15+

  • Leaders whose style creates measurable friction (turnover, slow decisions, team tension)

  • Those ready to examine their leadership without defending it

  • Organizations that view leadership development as a strategic investment, not an expense

 

If you're looking to "soften" your approach or need basic leadership skills, this isn't the right fit.

Before We Talk

 

Most brilliant-but-difficult leaders think they're ready for change.

Few actually are.

 

This transformation requires:

 

  • Willingness to hear truths others won't tell you

  • Commitment to a full six months+ of intensive work

  • Investment at the level of senior executive coaching

  • Permission from your organization to change how you lead

 

If any of these create hesitation, we should wait until you're truly ready.

Investment & Process

This is a significant investment commensurate with Fortune 1000 executive coaching.

 

My engagements are limited to 8 clients per year to ensure the depth of transformation my reputation demands.

 

The conversation about fit and investment happens only after we've established mutual interest in working together.

 

Ready to explore if this is right for you?

​

Apply for Consideration

 

If you meet the criteria above and are ready for this level of transformation, let's have a conversation.

​

​Before you book, consider these three questions:

 

  1. What's the highest-stakes leadership situation you're currently managing?

  2. If your team were completely honest about your leadership style, what would they say?

  3. What would make you hesitate to invest at the level Fortune 500 executives invest in their development?

 

If you have clear answers to all three, you're ready for our discussion.​​​

​

 

*Initial consultations are by invitation only and limited to qualified senior executives.*

From Control to Connection — The Hidden Cost of Dominance in Leadership (and How to Fix It)

My coaching engagement with Roberto was nothing short of transformational. He helped me appreciate the biases and perspectives I was bringing to every decision based on feedback that was generated from my peers. When I look at my behaviors today, they are much less rooted in biases, selfishness, and bureaucracy and much more rooted in awareness, service to others, and appreciation of diversity of experiences as a direct result of this engagement. Today, I can see my demeanor has shifted to one of less anxiety and emotion and one of more calm and control as a result of these learnings. I'm excited to continue to flex these muscles going forward.

- Sam B.  |  Principal, Gauge Capital

Driven by results, I pushed hard, commanded respect, and often burned the candle at both ends.

Through my journey, I discovered a powerful truth: Leadership soars to new heights when it's rooted in tactical empathy and understanding.

 

Now, I dedicate my expertise to empowering strong leaders to become even stronger. I want to help you lead not just with decisive minds but also with influence. In my coaching, I blend hard-won lessons with proven strategies, transforming leadership styles to achieve sustainable success and deeper connections.

I'll challenge you to face your blindspots
and become a remarkable leader
