Train and grow your leadership bench effectively, ending cycles of upward-delegation and improving succession planning. Minimize attrition.
A NEW kind of leadership development program for firm leaders who want a better way to lead themselves and their multi-generational team in 2026— without fear, burnout, or attrition.
Top firm leaders have already discovered a new way to lead:
You know what needs to be done. The problem isn’t a lack of hard work or skill-it’s avoidance of actions we know are necessary but resist due to discomfort. Sound familiar?
If you can relate, we can help.
Our program was inspired by the process that has helped millions of recovered addicts do the Uncomfortable Work necessary to identify what was keeping them stuck, unlock their human potential, and hold each other accountable for real, long lasting change.
We translated that process into recovery-agnostic tools that help partners and managers:
Train and grow your leadership bench effectively, ending cycles of upward-delegation and improving succession planning. Minimize attrition.
Stop working below your level and start focusing on business development, strategic work, and talent development. Reclaim the time you’re losing each year to lower-value tasks, projects, and patterns—then delegate without your team getting overwhelmed.
Create a more direct, “kind but clear” culture where team feedback and accountability are normal rather than avoided—yes, even among fellow partners. Hold clients accountable to timelines, fees, or scope without damaging relationships.
You’re busy—we know! Our process is designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing schedule and management system. The time you invest is quickly recaptured by freeing you from costly avoidance patterns and time lost to low-impact tasks and distractions.

How much time will this cost us?
This is built for busy professionals. After the one-day workshop, coaching requires just an hour monthly. Then, the process integrates seamlessly into your current management system, making it time-neutral. You’ll actually reclaim more time than you invest, even during busy season.
Is this recovery-focused?
While inspired by recovery’s proven principles, our program is completely tailored for business leaders. It’s simply about helping leaders do the Uncomfortable Work they normally avoid, using proven tools anyone can benefit from.
What if my partners or staff resist?
Resistance to change is normal. Our process anticipates pushback and equips you with scripts and tools to handle it gracefully. Whether you’re a managing partner seeking partner-wide alignment or a manager concerned about staff buy-in, we’ll help you quantify immediate firm impact clearly and persuasively.
What does the ROI guarantee cover?
Our promise is simple: you get the results you expect, or we refund your investment: no hoops or hurdles.
Where did the “359 hours” come from?
In our program, participants identify the exact types of Uncomfortable Work they avoid. We help them calculate how much time they’re losing, then ask them to make that estimate even more conservative to ensure it’s completely accurate and believable. Across our clients in the profession, the average annual total comes to 359 hours.
If you’re a firm leader who wants to expand your potential, we won’t just teach you how—we’ll help you do it.
