Retained Coaching
The 15-Month Leadership OS Upgrade.
For leaders ready for a structured, long-term development partnership — not a one-time engagement.
The Engagement
How the coaching journey works.
Every engagement begins with diagnosis and ends with documented, measurable leadership growth across all five OS dimensions.
Leadership OS Assessment + TTI Talent Insights
We begin with the full diagnostic suite: the 25-question OS Assessment across all five dimensions, paired with TTI DISC Behavioral Style and Motivators/Driving Forces. This gives us a complete picture of how you show up, what drives you, and where your leadership system is constrained.
Integrated Debrief + Upgrade Roadmap
We review your scores together — archetype reveal, dimension analysis, constraint identification, and cross-instrument patterns from your TTI data. You leave with a personalized 90-Day Upgrade Plan and a clear picture of which dimensions to address first.
Monthly Coaching Sessions
Structured monthly sessions with clear agenda, dimension-focused development, real-time decision support, and accountability. Sessions are designed to integrate directly with your current leadership challenges — not exist outside them.
Quarterly OS Reassessment
Every 90 days, we re-run the full OS Assessment to measure dimension growth, recalibrate priorities, and provide documented proof of leadership ROI. This is the accountability mechanism that separates this program from traditional coaching.
360 Feedback + Organizational Deployment
At month 12, optional 360-degree feedback provides external validation of your growth. Graduates may expand the program to their leadership teams for organizational-level OS deployment.
