Similar to what I call the "pure vanilla" coaching, each session is driven by whatever is pressing for you. We discuss the topic you bring and I help you get to some answers and ideally to some actions you can take after the call.

I typically work with mid-level / senior CoS (or equivalent) who needs support in their current role across various topics that might include: how to manage the boss, how to become more strategic (vs operational), how to influence without power, how to tackle operational matters such as OKRs, operating rhythm, internal comms, offsites, etc. I am sector / size / geo agnostic.

I can give you my 2 cents, but I am not a career coach, nor a recruiter, so I would probably refer you to someone else. Also, I don't have the bandwidth to actively support aspiring CoS. If you are in that camp, I suggest you get my free CoS toolbox (go to Resources / Free Tools) that has the best articles I have seen on the CoS role, which could be a great place to start.

We would meet either monthly for 90mins or twice a month for 45mins, depending on your preference. It's up to you how much additional time you want to dedicate to this, but my clients typically spend another hour or so weekly to prep and / or put into practice what we discussed. I typically work with my clients for 6 months or longer but there is no minimum time commitment.

While I don't disclose my fees online, they have never been a challenge for VC-backed companies. Coaching is the most affordable way to get my support.

It often happens that I start working with the CoS and then get more involved with the biz through my Fractional Exec / or CEO Mentorship offering which allows me to work with both the CEO and CoS (and others in the leadership team). While for most companies it wouldn't make sense to hire me full-time (and it would be way too $$$), I can accelerate their growth through either of these engagements.
