I won't let you hide from the truth

You know those offers that promise “X results in 3 months”?

“10x your revenue."
"Fill your books in 90 days."
"Double your consult numbers."

I’ve signed up to a few of them over the years.

I always put my all in. I’m not scared of the work. I followed the steps and did exactly what was asked.

One even had me filling in a daily activity tracker – every action logged, every box ticked. I definitely didn’t half-arse it.

And guess what…I didn’t get the outcome promised.
And their guarantee wasn’t upheld either. Ewww.

It wasn't anything to do with not being committed enough or me not trying hard enough. It's because real change doesn't work like that.

Especially when it comes to leadership, identity, confidence, and boundaries - none of that works on a formula.

Which is why I’m very clear about what I don’t guarantee as a coach.

I don’t promise outcomes on a timeline.
I don’t promise shortcuts.
And I don’t promise results I can’t ethically control.

What I do guarantee is how I coach, how I show up, and the standard I hold. 

Here’s what I guarantee.

1. I won’t let you hide from the truth.
   People often speak around the truth. I plant a flag in it and say: this is the work, this is your edge.

Some of the things I hear from leaders again and again:

• “I say I’m exhausted, but I still step in because it feels safer to be needed than to let things wobble.”
•  “I tell myself I don’t trust my team, but what I really don’t trust is what will happen if I stop controlling the outcome.”
•  “I say I want things to change, but when I’m under pressure, I default to what’s familiar.” 

2. I won’t collude with the story that everything is external.
   Yes, the industry is intense, staffing is hard, and the pressure is REAL. 
   And also…you have more influence than you think you do. 
   Not over everything, but over far more than you’re currently claiming.
3. I will call out misplaced responsibility.
   Over and over, I see leaders carrying stuff that simply isn’t theirs:

• carrying other people’s emotions all the way home, into the evening, into sleep
• trying to keep everyone happy (you won't)
• caring deeply about whether you’re liked, as if that’s the same thing as being trusted or respected (it isn't).

4. I will help you find the real issue, not just the loudest symptom.
   On the surface, the problem often looks like no time, poor sleep, short staffing, team drama. Underneath, it’s usually boundaries, identity, responsibility, values, people pleasing, over-functioning.
5. I guarantee I’ll be fully in it with you.
   I bring my full attention to every person in the group. I notice progress and reflect back what's changing even when it doesn't feel obvious yet.
   I believe you can handle the truth, and I won't abandon you while you sit with what's uncomfortable or unfamiliar.
