Allow me to save you 3 months this year

One of the most interesting patterns I’ve noticed over the years is when people hire a coach. Not why. Not which coach. But when they finally decide to bring in support.

For many business owners and executives, it’s somewhere between March and July.

I’ve been curious about this and believe it’s due to a few things. Let’s unpack it together.

Why do so many leaders wait to hire a coach? 

Most leaders start the year trying to do it on their own.

January arrives with optimism. The fresh goals and feeling of a clean slate bring a renewed vow to "work harder", "work smarter", or "stay more focused" this year.

They rely on willpower, discipline, or longer hours. They tweak systems, revisit priorities, and promise themselves this time will be different.

And for a while, it works...until old patterns creep back in.

Patterns that are so familiar, they're almost unrecognizable, and yet they're the very thing holding you back.

Then suddenly, the first quarter is gone.

What happens in March or April?

This is when frustration shows up!

You’re still capable. Still driven. Still successful. But progress is creeping along slower than desired. And there isn't enough growth, fulfillment or joy to give you energy for the journey ahead…and you’re feeling drained!

You start noticing:

• Goals haven’t moved much

• Focus keeps slipping

• The hours are harder to sustain

• And there's the quiet realization that, “I’ve been here before.”

Why do people finally hire a coach in the 2nd Quarter?

Because that’s when clarity hits. Not panic — clarity. And yes, this is the time of year I see an influx of inquiry calls!

People recognize that:

• Working harder isn’t the answer

• Trying to “figure it out alone” keeps repeating the same loop

• Accountability, perspective, and structure could save months — or an entire year

A coach helps streamline thinking, surface blind spots, and create momentum before another year quietly slips by.

What if you didn’t wait this time?

You don’t need to be behind to benefit from coaching.

You just need to notice the pattern — and choose differently.

If you’re already sensing that familiar cycle, I offer complimentary coaching conversations to help you pause, reflect, and reset with intention.

No pressure. Just space to think clearly and decide what support could look like before the year gets away from you.

If this feels all too familiar, you’re not alone...let's talk.
