For founders past the diagnostic stage

When the framework is not enough — bring it into the work.

Some founders need the book. Some need the workshop. A smaller number need higher-touch work — 1:1 over weeks, or a multi-day session inside their company. This is where that begins.

1:1 Founder Coaching Corporate Workshops

A coach without a diagnosis is just an expensive friend.

Every coaching engagement begins with the diagnostic. Every corporate workshop begins with knowing exactly which of the five operating systems your team is leaking through. We do not begin work without that.

For founders

1:1 Founder Coaching

For founders who have taken the diagnostic, attended the workshop or read the book — and now want to do the work with a guide.

The 90-Day Intensive

Focused. Time-bound. One operating system fixed.

Twelve sessions over ninety days. We pick the operating system your diagnostic flagged hardest, and we build it — out loud, with deliverables, in the calendar. End of ninety days: it works.

Best fit: founders with ₦20M+ annual revenue who know they have a leak and want it closed in a quarter.

From ₦1.2M. Payment in three instalments.

The Monthly Retainer

Ongoing. Strategic. The thinking partner you need.

Two 60-minute sessions per month, plus async support on WhatsApp/email between sessions. The relationship deepens; the work compounds. For founders who want a thinking partner across the long haul.

Best fit: founders running businesses ₦50M+ in annual revenue with multi-year goals and team they are building around.

From ₦450,000/month. Minimum 6-month commitment.

By application

The Inner Circle

Six founders. Twelve months. Quarterly in-person retreats, monthly group calls, unlimited 1:1 access. The deepest container I run. Limited to six seats per cohort, never more.

₦7.5M. Pay in full or in two instalments.

For teams

Corporate Operating System Workshops

When the company has outgrown the founder — and the next level is a structure question, not a founder question — bring the framework into the building.

Half-day team workshop

The framework, brought to your team.

For executive teams of 8-20. We run the same half-day workshop, customised for your business. Every team member takes the diagnostic; we work the results live. You walk out with a shared language and a written 90-day plan signed by the leadership.

From ₦2.5M. Lagos / Abuja / virtual.

Two-day intensive

Deeper work, more team members.

For teams of 20-50. Day one: framework, diagnostic, current-state review. Day two: 90-day plan, role mapping, decision-rights work, sign-off. The output is an operating model document the team owns.

From ₦5M. Includes pre-work and 60-day follow-up.

Quarterly programme

For mid-market and enterprise leadership.

One full-day session per quarter, for one year. We work one operating system per quarter, going deep. By end of year: the leadership team has rebuilt the company's operating model from the inside.

From ₦12M / year. For companies of 50+ people.

When 1:1 coaching is the right fit

You should apply for 1:1 if…

  • You have taken the diagnostic and the result has not left you alone.
  • You have the budget — these programmes are not subsidised.
  • You are coachable: willing to be challenged, willing to do work between sessions.
  • You have a partner, co-founder, or board who knows you are doing this. (Founders working in secret rarely finish.)

When corporate is the right fit

Your team is ready if…

  • The leadership team is committed to a working session, not a feel-good day.
  • You can carve out the calendar time — half a day, two days, or quarterly.
  • The CEO (or equivalent) will be in the room. Without that, the framework does not stick.
  • You are willing to share the diagnostic results across the leadership team. Privacy of individual answers is preserved; the team-wide patterns are not.
