FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A six-month initial engagement is a significant investment, typically in the upper five figures to low six figures, depending on scope. Pricing reflects the depth of experience I bring as a CEO-turned-coach and the results my clients achieve.

    Many describe it as one of the best investments they’ve made:

    • “The ROI was immediate and obvious.”

    • “We closed a critical deal faster and with more clarity because of Bill’s guidance.”

    • “What I gained in strategic confidence easily paid for the coaching three times over.”

    • “We experienced a huge increase in enterprise value because of the work with Bill.”

    We’ll align on exact pricing after we determine the right structure for your needs.

  • Absolutely. Throughout the site, you’ll find real stories from past clients that reflect the kind of results we achieve together: from faster transitions to more confident leadership to breakthrough decisions that shaped company direction.

    These testimonials are a window into what’s possible when we work in partnership.

  • A standard engagement begins with a six-month commitment. That said, many of my clients continue well beyond that, and some have partnered with me for over 8 years.

    Why? Because they value having a trusted advisor in their corner: someone who knows their leadership style, understands the business context, and offers seasoned guidance at every inflection point.

    I like to say it's like having a personal boardroom that's confidential, strategic, and deeply invested in your success.

  • I maintain certifications and utilize a range of executive assessments, tailored to the goals and scope of our engagement. These often include:

    • Leadership Circle Profile

    • Korn Ferry 360

    • Hogan Leadership Series Assessments

    • EQi Emotional Intelligence assessment

    • Proprietary feedback tools designed for executive insight

    The goal is to illuminate strengths, growth areas, and perception gaps—then translate that insight into meaningful action.
