Stan works with clients primarily through non-directive coaching. Through a variety of techniques and interaction modes, Stan helps clients de-risk their decision-making, become aware of their own self-limiting behaviors and beliefs and find new approaches to accelerate their growth as leaders. Stan integrates lessons learned from a high-level athletic background and over four decades in consulting and technology to provide relevant context and insights. Stan helps clients hone their leadership style by holding space for them to share openly and without fear of judgment. The safe space Stan co-creates with his clients allows them to explore options they may have not considered fully and to find alternative paths to address their toughest challenges. Stan is a true accountability partner on his clients' journeys forward, growing their leadership and impact with both heart and mind.

To develop deep, impactful coaching partnerships and maintain high-quality interactions with each and every client, Stan caps the number of clients he is willing to work with concurrently. If at any time you feel you aren’t getting the attention you need, Stan will happily re-evaluate your engagement and work with you to find the model that works best for you.

By holding space, asking challenging questions, calling out the truth without judgement, and working through various modalities, Stan helps clients reframe their perspectives, uncover alternatives, and commit to concrete actions. There are times when it is appropriate and beneficial for Stan to offer key takeaways from his experience, but this is rarely the source of client’s most powerful learning and growth. When it is clear that Stan's expertise and knowledge can accelerate growth for a client, Stan may step out of coaching mode. When this arises, Stan will explicitly call out that he is shifting modes to avoid confusion. Stan emphasizes that, when he does this, he is sharing his experience in related situations, rather than any indication of what may be the best solution for any specific client in their unique circumstance. If you find that you really need more in-depth guidance and advice for you, your team, or your business, consider requesting add-on services the next time you meet with Stan.

Any company-sponsored client can add Stakeholder Check-in Sessions to their engagement for an additional fee. Stan's expectation is that these sessions will be attended by the sponsor and the client to ensure there are no disconnects in communication of progress and to ensure everyone is comfortable that appropriate confidentiality is preserved at all times.

Normally, 1:1 Coaching sessions and Group Mastermind meetings are conducted remotely via Zoom. For select clients, Stan will consider travelling to your location for sessions. Availability will depend on Stan's schedule and will be provided at Stan's day rate plus appropriate T&E expense reimbursement.

Team Coaching Services may be conducted remotely (for distributed teams) or at the location of your choosing. Team Coaching Services will be provided at Stan's day rate plus appropriate T&E expense reimbursement.

After you get in touch, Stan may request additional information and/or set up a 30-min discovery call to ensure that he understands the particulars of your engagement (challenges you hope to address, session frequency and timing, etc.). Stan personally reviews every application and will normally respond within a few business days. Based on the information you provide, Stan will determine if he believes you will be a good fit for his services. If so, Stan will propose the framework of the engagement including any deliverables and the required investment. Stan will work closely with your company as needed to accommodate any existing processes you may have. After you process your payment and sign any necessary paperwork, the fun work begins!
