Leadership & Performance Coaching for Growing Companies

Your company's next level requires a next-level version of the people leading it.

I'm an outside leadership partner for founder-led companies of 25 to 500 people. When a capable leader gets stuck, I work with them one-on-one to get from stuck to clear to moving, fast.

Sound familiar?

You have someone in mind already.

They're good at their job. They're not the problem. But something has shifted, and you can feel it in the business.

Lost their confidence after a hard quarter
Second-guessing every decision
Promoted, and suddenly doesn't trust themselves
Burned out but still performing
Avoiding a conversation that needs to happen
Waiting for approval instead of leading
Great with 5 people, drowning with 25
Two leaders who can't work together

Capable of operating at 100%. Currently operating at 65%. That gap is expensive.

How it works

Bring me the problem. Give me 90 minutes.

No six-week intake. No personality assessment before we can talk. We start with what's actually going on and leave with a decision and a plan.

01

Stuck

What's going on, and what's actually true, versus the story they're telling themselves.

02

Clear

Separate today's pressure from the outcome they're trying to create.

03

Decided

What would the leader this role needs do next? Make the call.

04

Moving

A concrete next step they own, and the confidence to take it.

Work with me

Start with one leader. Grow from there.

Where most companies start

90-Minute Leadership Reset

One confidential session for one leader who's stuck. They walk out clear, decided and moving.

  • One-on-one, in person or on Zoom
  • Built around a real situation, not theory
  • A clear next step at the end
Ongoing

Leadership Partnership

An outside leadership partner your team can call on when something starts getting in the way of performance.

  • A set number of Resets each month
  • Priority scheduling for your leaders
  • A monthly check-in with you on themes, never private details
For the whole team

Team Intensives & Speaking

Workshops on self-leadership, resilience and decision-making under pressure, for teams going through growth or change.

  • Half-day or 60 to 90 minute formats
  • Tailored to where your company is headed

Engagements start at $750. Every company is different, so we'll figure out the right fit on a short call.

Who this is for

Growing companies where one person getting unstuck changes everything.

Big enough that people problems are expensive. Small enough that you can pick up the phone and say "call Sadie."

About

I speak business. I also know what's going on underneath it.

People don't have performance problems in isolation. I coach the whole person, and I keep the work focused on leading well.

Sadie Hershewe

Hi, I'm Sadie. I've spent more than 20 years in business development, 11 of them in staffing, sitting across from owners and hiring managers about the thing that makes or breaks a growing company: its people.

I helped launch two new staffing markets, turned underdeveloped territories into strong books of business, and helped build a new services division from scratch. Since 2016 I've built and led my own sales organization and developed five leaders to executive rank through one-on-one coaching. That's where I learned what actually gets a capable person unstuck.

Now I help growing companies grow their people as fast as they're growing their business.

Questions

What CEOs usually ask

Is this therapy?

No. This is leadership and performance coaching. We work on clarity, decisions, confidence and follow-through. If something needs a licensed professional, I'll say so and point them there.

What do I hear back about my people?

You'll hear how the partnership is being used and the themes I'm seeing across the team. You won't hear what anyone said in a session. That confidentiality is exactly why people open up and get results.

Do you work in person or virtually?

Both. Sessions happen in person or on Zoom, whatever works best for the leader.

How do we get started?

Book a 30-minute call. Most companies start with a Reset for one or a few leaders, then decide whether an ongoing partnership makes sense.

Who just came to mind?

Let's talk about them. A 30-minute call is enough to know whether I can help.
