Backstage

Backstage is private one-on-one coaching with George via Slack. Plus, member-only discounts and early access to other programs.

This program might be a good fit, if:

• You hold decision-making authority and are responsible for shaping your organization's strategy and direction
• You dread adding another Zoom call to your calendar and would rather do things asynchronously so you can have more time to process information, reflect deeply, and respond at your own pace
• You find it challenging to maintain focus for an hour-long call every other week and would prefer more frequent, shorter interactions
• You crave immediate feedback and a sense of continual progress

But more importantly!

Coaching is about uncovering what’s underneath the surface. This is what coaches mean when we say, "We make the invisible visible."

Every so often, making the invisible visible is all it takes to create a breakthrough. But generally, it’s where the deep work begins. This work is often uncomfortable, even painful.

You might resist accepting new information about yourself, and you might resist changing your habits and your routines. We want you to know it’s absolutely normal. You’re not deficient or broken.

Your brain is simply protecting you from what it perceives as a threat to your safety.

But the solution to your problems lies on the other side of this discomfort. And the work to get there takes time and patience.

Are you ready to put in the time and be patient and gentle with yourself? If the answer is HELL YES, this might be a program for you.

Like all other coaching programs we offer, Backstage is 100% client-led. Any leadership issue you might be dealing with is appropriate to bring up for discussion.
