For the people leading together
Leadership Team Coaching
Good people can still find it hard to move in the same direction. Make room for the conversations your team needs to have.
Work with Ryan Coley on communication, conflict and alignment, so you can be more deliberate about how you lead together.

When the same conversations keep coming back
Perhaps everyone leaves a meeting agreeing on the priority, but the week tells a different story. Or a difficult conversation stays just below the surface while the team works around it.
You may have capable people who care deeply about the business and still find that decisions, expectations or relationships need attention. Working harder does not always resolve what is happening between you.
Leadership team coaching creates space to look at those patterns together. You can talk with Ryan about what you are noticing, what you have already tried and whether support would be useful.
Give the important conversations room to happen
A shared direction, understood together
The same priority can mean different things to different leaders. Ryan works with teams on alignment: exploring what matters, where perspectives differ and what needs to become clearer before moving forward.
Candor without losing the relationship
When people hold back, the team may be missing something it needs to hear. Coaching offers a place to examine how you communicate, what makes honesty difficult and how you want to handle challenging conversations.
Conflict you can work through
Disagreement is part of leading with other people. If the same tension keeps returning, you can explore it with Ryan rather than leaving it to shape decisions and relationships in the background.
Expectations that carry into the work
An agreement in a meeting is only part of the picture. Coaching can help your team consider how expectations are understood, how you follow through and how you address the gaps when daily work unfolds differently.
A coach who understands people and ownership
Ryan Coley is an executive coach with Novus Global and a multi-unit franchise owner. He brings experience owning and leading businesses to his work with executives, business owners and teams.
His background as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker informs his attention to people, relationships and difficult conversations. The work here is business coaching, focused on how you lead and work together.
Ryan offers leadership and team training addressing communication, conflict, alignment and culture. Your team brings its own history, responsibilities and goals; the conversation starts with understanding those.
Start by telling Ryan what is happening. In a free, no-obligation consultation, you can describe the challenge, ask questions and explore whether working together is a fit.
Together, you can discuss who should be involved, the depth of support you need and a format that works for the group. The scope and quote follow that conversation, rather than a fixed package you have to fit into.
Sometimes the starting point is an individual leader; sometimes the work involves the leadership team. Ryan offers both. Read what to expect from executive coaching or explore the broader business coaching offer as you consider the right starting point.
Questions about working with your leadership team
How is team coaching different from individual executive coaching?
Individual coaching focuses on one leader and their choices, responsibilities and development. Team work brings attention to how the group communicates, handles conflict and aligns around its work. Ryan offers both; the consultation is a chance to discuss which starting point fits your situation.
Is this also executive team coaching?
Yes. Ryan works with executives and leadership teams. Whether you call your group an executive team or a leadership team, you can discuss its responsibilities and the communication, conflict or alignment challenges you want to address.
Who should take part?
That depends on the issue and the people involved. You can talk with Ryan about the team, the decisions it owns and where the challenge shows up before deciding who should participate. There is no predetermined attendance list for every engagement.
Do we need to be in conflict to work with Ryan?
No. You can begin with a goal for how the team works together, a transition or a question about alignment. You do not need to wait for a crisis. Bring examples of what you would like to understand or change so you can explore the fit.
Can our leadership team work with Ryan virtually?
Yes. Ryan offers virtual coaching, in-person sessions in Wake Forest and Raleigh, and on-site work at businesses. Discuss the format and the needs of your team during the consultation.
How much does it cost, and how long is an engagement?
The initial consultation is free and has no obligation. Coaching is quoted case by case based on the depth and scope of the work. An engagement may be a session or two or an ongoing relationship; discuss what makes sense for your team with Ryan.
Before your first conversation
Start with what is happening in your team
You do not need a perfect explanation or a finished plan. Bring the conversation that keeps circling back, the tension you have noticed or the change you want to work toward.
