Why Leaders Choose Me

MOST LEADERS

  • Want to get a promotion but don't have an accurate idea of the changes they need to make in the way they lead, think, and communicate to qualify.

  • Are overwhelmed and spending too much time in "The Expert Trap", giving advice and solving problems their team should learn to handle and too little time pursuing new approaches to strategic problems for their organization.

  • Feel like a bottleneck in their own organization when they want to feel like an accelerant and a facilitator to their team's productivity.

  • But simply doing the same tasks faster and solving all the problems isn't enough to get you a promotion.

BUT GETTING PROMOTED OR HIRED FOR A HIGHER ROLE

  • Depends on developing teams below you who can take the initiative to solve problems creatively, independently, and consistently.

That's what I'm going to help you figure out how to do.

FAQ

Pratt's Own Coaching Journey

Pratt  is passionate about helping his clients to get unstuck and embrace their full potential because he went through years of being stuck, underpaid, undervalued, and unfulfilled in a job and life he had outgrown. It was a coaching client asking him, after he had helped her make a major career leap, "Why are you still here?" that finally got him to reconsider his situation, hire a coach for himself, and start challenging all the limiting beliefs that had been holding him back.

As soon as he started reassessing where he was and where he wanted to be, the dam holding his potential back burst and new possibilities started flowing. The incredible boost in growth and discoveries he made once he had left that job and started working with an executive coach showed him how powerful coaching was to getting unstuck and moving forward in our careers. That is an experience that inspires him daily to help his clients re-evaluate the facts of their own stories, overcome the obstacles to their growth, and move them toward their career aspirations.

As you can see in the Success Stories above, if you work with Pratt, you'll quickly move from tired to inspired, from blocked to unlocked. If you're ready to stop settling for what you have now, you'll ​be amazed by how much more your career and life can offer.
