Leadership Coaching for Every Context
Become the best version of yourself as a leader. Whether you lead in the boardroom, the classroom, the sanctuary, or at home—this is about leading from your truest, healthiest self.
Crown & Compass restores leadership clarity, authority, and sustainability by forming identity before behavior—so leaders stop overfunctioning, overcontrolling, and burning out.
What Makes Crown & Compass Different
We don't offer quick fixes, motivational hype, or surface-level strategies. We form leaders from the inside out.
Identity Before Behavior
Most leadership development focuses on what you do. We focus on who you are—because behavior flows from identity, not the other way around.
Formation, Not Information
You don't need more content. You need transformation. We create space for deep work that actually changes how you lead when pressure goes unnoticed or neglected.
Root-Level Change
We don't address symptoms. We address the internal strongholds that fracture leadership—identity confusion, boundary erosion, and patterns formed by constant unregulated pressure.
Sustainable Authority
We help leaders build authority that doesn't require force, control, or exhaustion. Leadership that scales without collapsing.
Who This Is For
This work is for leaders, pastors, founders, and high-responsibility individuals who:
Carry more than they should and feel guilty setting limits
Feel pressure to perform, prove, or hold everything together
Lead well externally but feel misaligned internally
Are respected by others but exhausted in private
Sense that something is "off," but strategy hasn't fixed it
If leadership feels heavier than it should, this isn't a capacity issue.
It's an identity issue.

Find Where You're Carrying Too Much
If leadership—whether at work, home, or in your community—feels heavy, this diagnostic will show you where boundaries, identity, or alignment need attention.
This is a diagnostic, not a personality test.
Not Sure If Your Leadership Patterns Are Healthy?
Before starting coaching, many leaders find it helpful to identify where they fall on the spectrum between narcissistic patterns and healthy self-leadership.
The Narcissistic Leader Assessment helps you understand if you're leading from ego or identity, using boundaries to control or protect, and whether your authority is dominating or stewarding. This clarity can guide your coaching focus.
This assessment is a diagnostic tool, not a label. Use it to gain clarity before your coaching journey.
Before You Start Coaching, Get Clarity
These assessments serve as powerful pre-coaching diagnostic tools, helping you and your coach understand where to focus your work together.
Best Self Assessment
Get a holistic view of your life across 6 dimensions before your first coaching session. This helps you and your coach identify priority areas immediately.
Why take this before coaching:
- • Identifies blind spots you might not mention
- • Shows patterns across multiple life areas
- • Gives your coach a complete starting picture
- • Saves time in early sessions
Leadership Discernment Tool
Not sure what type of coaching you need? This quick diagnostic helps you identify your most pressing need and ensures you start with the right focus.
Why take this before coaching:
- • Clarifies whether you need individual, relationship, or organizational coaching
- • Identifies your primary growth area
- • Helps you articulate what you need
- • Ensures coaching fit from day one
Pro Tip: Take Both Before Your Discovery Call
Many clients find it helpful to complete both assessments before their initial discovery call. This allows you to:
- Come to the call with clarity about your needs
- Share results with your coach for deeper initial conversation
- Hit the ground running in your first official session

Common Questions Before Starting
Here's what most people want to know before beginning the coaching journey.
What's the investment?
Coaching is a significant investment—both financially and personally. Pricing varies based on coaching type, frequency, and duration.
Typical Investment Ranges:
- Individual Leadership Coaching: $300-500 per session (bi-weekly or monthly)
- Relationship Coaching: $350-600 per session (couples or individual)
- Organizational Coaching: Custom pricing based on team size and scope
Exact pricing is discussed during your discovery call based on your specific needs and commitment level.
How often do we meet?
Most clients meet bi-weekly (every two weeks) for 60-90 minute sessions. Some prefer monthly sessions, while others in crisis or intensive phases meet weekly.
Frequency is determined by your needs, capacity, and the intensity of the work. We'll discuss the right timeline during your discovery call.
What happens in the first session?
The first session is about establishing safety, understanding your story, and identifying what brought you here. We'll explore:
- Your current leadership or relational challenges
- Patterns you've noticed but can't seem to change
- What success looks like for you
- How we'll work together moving forward
You'll leave with clarity on next steps and one actionable commitment.
How long does coaching last?
Most clients commit to 6-12 months for meaningful transformation. Some continue longer for ongoing support and refinement.
Shorter engagements (3-6 months) are available for specific issues, but deep identity work takes time. We'll discuss the right timeline during your discovery call.
Is coaching virtual or in-person?
Most coaching is conducted virtually via Zoom, making it accessible regardless of location. In-person sessions are available in select locations for an additional fee.
Virtual coaching is just as effective—and often more convenient for busy leaders.
Is everything confidential?
Yes. Everything shared in coaching is confidential unless you give explicit permission otherwise. This is a safe space for honest work without fear of judgment or exposure.
Is Coaching Right for You?
Not everyone needs coaching. Use this self-assessment to help you decide if coaching, cohorts, or retreats are the best fit for where you are right now.
