Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is an Accountability Partner different from a standard executive coach?

A: It's a fundamental difference in focus. Most executive coaches work on your internal mindset, leadership style, and long-term personal development. They help you explore the "why."I am your Accountability Partner. I focus on the "what" and the "how." Our sessions are about your operating system: your plans, your metrics, your systems, and your weekly output. Coaches help you draw the map; I'm in the co-pilot's seat, making sure you execute the turn-by-turn navigation to get to your destination faster.

Q: Frankly, what is the ROI? My board wants to see money spent on growth, not personal services.

A: This is a growth investment.
Consider the cost of the alternative:One month of wasted engineering time on a non-essential feature can cost you tens of thousands of dollars.One bad strategic decision due to lack of clarity can set your roadmap back a full quarter.I help you avoid these costly mistakes. My fee is a rounding error compared to the value of shipping the right product a month earlier.

Q: My calendar is already a disaster. Is this just another meeting?

A: I understand. This is likely the only meeting on your calendar that is 100% dedicated to making the rest of your hours more productive. Our 60-minute session is an investment to reclaim 5-10 hours of wasted time and "busywork" throughout your week.

Q: Can't I just do this with my co-founder or a mentor?

A: You can, but it's rarely as effective. Your co-founder is in the weeds with you, sharing the same biases and blind spots. Mentors are great for high-level advice, but they don't have the context or consistency to track your weekly execution. I provide a crucial external perspective. I have no internal politics, no emotional stake in your decisions - my only agenda is your stated goal. That objectivity is something you can't get from anyone inside your ecosystem.

Q: Is everything we discuss confidential?

A: 100%. Without question. Our relationship is built on absolute trust. What we discuss never leaves our conversations. Full stop.

Q: What is your policy if I need to miss a weekly session?

A: You're a founder; I know that unavoidable, high-stakes situations arise. With at least 24 hours' notice, we can reschedule your session for another time within the same week, schedule permitting. The key to our success is consistency, so we'll always prioritize finding a way to connect.
