Who This Is For
Target Profile

Who this is for

CEOs & Founders

Navigating complex board demands, scaling velocity bottlenecks, and personal cognitive fatigue at the top.

C-Suite & SVPs

Managing high-stakes cross-functional dependencies, high conflict, and transforming from tactical fixer to executive multiplier.

Professional-services leaders managing severe workload demands, client pressure, and partner-pipeline retention.

Problems We Solve
Core Obstacles

Problems we solve

Decision Bottlenecks & Executive Overload

When too many operational issues get escalated to your desk, leaving zero bandwidth for proactive strategy.

High-Pressure Behavioral Derailers

Stress responses (micromanagement, avoidance, defensive friction) that inadvertently stifle team agency.

The Effort Trap & Burnout Symptoms

Working 70+ hours a week without proportional movement in business outcomes or team self-sufficiency.

Unproductive Conversational Loops

Repeated 1-on-1s and status meetings that produce vague intentions instead of concrete, tracked execution.

FOUNDATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY

The ACT Framework: Attention, Control, Toggle

Underlying all executive coaching is Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) adapted for

corporate leadership. Leaders develop psychological flexibility to navigate high-stakes chaos without

defensive reactivity.

ACT Framework

A — Attention

Directing cognitive focus deliberately toward high-impact priorities while filtering urgent noise.

C — Control

Decoupling high agency over internal actions from uncontrollable external market and organizational variables.

T — Toggle

Rapidly shifting between 30,000-foot enterprise strategy and granular execution without friction.

QUESTIONS & CLARIFICATIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Executive Coaching FAQ
Most executive coaches rely on motivational cheerleading or generic goal checklists. Collins Alliance begins with comprehensive empirical assessment (Hogan HPI, HDS derailers, MVPI, and 360 feedback) combined with systems-level diagnosis. We treat leadership friction as an engineering problem in cognitive capacity and operational systems.
We evaluate leaders across four complementary lenses: Hogan Personality Inventory (day-to-day style), Hogan Development Survey (risk/derailer behaviors under pressure), Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (core drivers), and Full Range Leadership 360 feedback from peers, superiors, and direct reports.
The 3-1-3 discipline focuses on three strategic priorities, driving toward one measurable breakthrough per cycle, across an intensive three-week accountability rhythm. Action commitments are tied to quantifiable operational outcomes rather than subjective feeling.
To avoid clogging overloaded executive calendars with unnecessary meetings, Joey delivers high-impact, personalized async audio briefings and feedback. This reinforces key behavioral changes without requiring another scheduled calendar block.
