Private 1:1 Coaching with AK Helm
The Boss Whisperer Intensive
12 Weeks. Three Focus Areas. One Committed Leader. Real Change.
The most direct, most personalized, most intensive leadership development experience Boss at the Helm offers. This is AK + your development needs. Not a course. Not group coaching. Focused work that moves the needle every single week.
Who This Is For
The Leader Who Is Ready.
This program is for the leader who is ready to do something, who is ready to cultivate themselves. They might be navigating a new role, managing a team through conflict or change, rebuilding trust after a rough stretch, or simply tired of leading on autopilot.
They are ready.
For high-potential individuals your organization wants to invest in more deeply, the Boss Whisperer Intensive provides direct 1:1 access to AK.
- Managers, directors, or senior leaders ready to invest in their development
- They have specific outcomes in mind, not just general interest in "getting better"
- They are ready to do the pre-work, the assignments, and the reflection between sessions
- They want direct, expert coaching from someone with 25 years of lived leadership experience
- They understand that real change takes commitment, and they are committed
You need a one-time motivational session, are looking for a vendor to deliver a pre-packaged curriculum, or are not ready to commit to the pre-work and reflection between sessions. If that's where you are, we're happy to recommend a better starting point.
"I've noticed a stark difference between how I used to lead and how I do now. I've also seen those changes reverberate throughout my team as a whole. I feel we're much more efficient at what we're doing due to communication being much clearer."C. Schuster │ IT Leader
This is not a course. It is not group coaching. It is AK + your development needs and 12 weeks of focused work. Every session and assignment is built around your situation, your team, your goals.
What's Included
Everything Built Around You.
No generic curriculum. No filler. No coaching small talk. Every element of the Boss Whisperer Intensive is built from your data, your goals, and your real-world leadership challenges.
The Boss Whisperer Assessment
Before session one, you complete a comprehensive leadership assessment that maps your behavioral patterns, mindset defaults, and development priorities. This becomes the blueprint for the entire 12 weeks. No generic curriculum. Everything that follows is built from your data.
A Personalized 12-Week Development Path
A custom-built leadership development roadmap scoped to your three focus areas. This is a personalized plan, not a template. Your situation. Your team. Your goals. Built from your assessment results.
12 Weekly 1:1 Coaching Sessions with AK
One hour each, weekly, for 12 weeks. Direct, practical, grounded in the Helm Method℠. Pre-work before each session. Practical field assignments and reflection activities between sessions. No filler. Every session moves the needle.
Between-Session Support
Access to AK between sessions for questions, wins, blocks, and real-time situations where you need a thought partner. Response within 24 hours. Because leadership does not wait for the next scheduled call.
The Full Boss at the Helm Course Library
Unlimited access to all current and future online courses. Reinforce the live coaching with self-paced modules that go deep on key leadership mindset topics.
A Personal Leadership Action Plan
At the end of week 12, you receive a documented personal leadership development plan: a practical, forward-looking guide built from everything we have worked on together. Not a summary. A tool you actually use.
A Boss Whisperer Intensive Certificate
Completion recognition from Boss at the Helm, suitable for your LinkedIn profile and professional development records. You did the hard work — this marks it.
What Participants Walk Away With
Not Concepts. Not Ideals.
Actual New Habits.
Lasting behavioral change in three specific leadership areas you defined at the start. Here is what that looks like in practice.
- A personal leadership development plan you can follow without needing to start over. Built from the work. Documented. Actionable from day one after week 12.
- Language and frameworks from the Helm Method℠ that give you tools to navigate any leadership situation — not just the three we worked on.
- A relationship with AK that does not end at week 12. Alumni of the Boss Whisperer Intensive receive preferred access to future programs, workshops, and cohorts.
- The clarity, confidence, and credibility that comes from doing the hard work with someone who has done it themselves and taught it to hundreds of leaders.
Do the Work. See the Shift.
Or Get Your Money Back.
Do the work. Attend every session. Complete the field assignments. If after 30 days you have not experienced a meaningful shift in how you are showing up as a leader, we will address it together.
If after 60 days you are not convinced it is working for you, you will get your money back.
You are not paying for sessions. You are paying for results.
