Work through the difficult decisions, people challenges, and pressures standing between you and the leader you need to become. Get honest perspective, practical guidance, and the accountability to move forward.
Confidential. No pressure. An honest conversation about what you’re facing and whether coaching fits.
You’ve proven you can deliver. That’s why people keep trusting you with more. But greater responsibility brings leadership challenges that effort and experience alone cannot always solve.
Your team depends on you for answers, decisions and forward movement.
Immediate problems consume the time you need to think and lead ahead.
Some decisions cannot be discussed honestly with your boss, your peers or your team.
THE ANSWER ISN’T SIMPLY DOING MORE.
IT’S EVOLVING HOW YOU LEAD.
Leadership challenges rarely stay in one lane. How you lead yourself shapes how you lead your team and how your team performs shapes the organization.
Build the self-awareness, discipline and clarity required to lead effectively under pressure.
Build trust, accountability and ownership so your people can perform without depending on you for every answer.
Align people, priorities and systems so the organization can adapt, execute and move forward.
STRONG LEADERSHIP DOESN’T COME FROM MASTERING ONE DOMAIN. IT COMES FROM STRENGTHENING ALL THREE.
No two leaders carry the same responsibilities or face the same challenges. Our work begins with what is happening in your leadership right now.
A confidential space to examine difficult decisions, challenges and opportunities without politics or pretence.
Challenge your assumptions, see the situation more clearly and identify a path forward that fits your reality.
Turn insight into clear decisions and deliberate action with accountability between conversations.
NO CANNED SOLUTIONS. NO LEADERSHIP THEATRE.
JUST FOCUSED COACHING BUILT AROUND WHAT YOU NEED TO MOVE FORWARD.
Most leadership books tell you what sounds good.
This one tells you what actually works.
Built from two decades in uniform and over 300 leadership interviews, You Don’t Know Sh*t About Leadership: And Neither Do I challenges your ego, sharpens your judgment, and forces you to lead yourself before you lead anyone else.
Because leadership doesn’t start with your team.
It starts with you.
Working with Scott has been incredibly beneficial for my personal and career development! His ability to help me gain different perspectives on topics thru open, honest conversation has enabled me to better serve my team. When coupled with a number of tools & tactics that he's shared with me, I am more empowered to be a better sales leader, people manager, and person.
Choosing to work with Scott has been enlightening. It was exactly the kind of guidance and advice I needed, all the while being challenged, which I really appreciate. It put some light on some of my struggles as a leader and how to handle them, and helped me recognize and emphasize my strengths to become a better leader (not a boss).
I found Scott right after being promoted to a new and challenging leadership position. I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking for, but his coaching was it.
Having a neutral space to bounce difficult situations off someone is priceless. I also find it incredibly valuable to get the perspective that comes from Scott's diverse background and leadership experience.
I thought I was only going to learn about leading my team; however, I have developed a vital new skill: leading myself. In a short amount of time, his coaching has helped me understand myself better, which in turn sets me up to support my team and organization better.
One-on-one coaching with Scott had a positive impact on my leadership trajectory. I was able to enhance my communication, delegation, and decision-making skills, as well as navigate acute challenges.
Scott helped me quickly transition from a colleague/peer to a team leader and member of our executive team.
For more than 25 years, I’ve led teams in environments where the stakes were real. That includes commanding soldiers on operations and overseeing national-scale military logistics.
Along the way, I learned that rank, authority and expertise may put you in charge, but they don’t necessarily make you a strong leader. That takes self-awareness, discipline and the humility to admit you won’t always have the answer.
That’s what led me to create Moving Forward Leadership and the #LeadDontBoss philosophy. It’s also why I’ve interviewed more than 300 leadership experts on the Peak Performance Leadership Podcast and wrote You Don’t Know Sh*t About Leadership: And Neither Do I.
Today, I work one-on-one with leaders carrying serious responsibility. I help them think through difficult challenges, make better decisions and lead themselves, their teams and their organizations more effectively.
You don’t need all the answers before starting. You need an honest conversation about where your leadership stands, what’s getting in the way and where you want to go next.
A straightforward conversation. No pressure. No obligation.
You can still strengthen how you lead. Explore practical resources designed to challenge your thinking and help you move forward.
