Tampa Bay and Central Florida

Business coaching for owners who've built something real.

I work with owners and leadership teams of privately held companies, 10 to 250 people, from a session room in Clearwater. Clear vision, disciplined execution, healthy leaders. If you're in Tampa Bay or anywhere on the I-4 corridor, I'm a short drive away. If you're not, we do it 100% virtually.

The session room

Two whiteboards, a window wall, room for 20. Where the Owner Roundtable meets and where most of my Tampa Bay clients do their full-day sessions.

What you actually get

Not a pep talk. A way of running the business.

Most owners who call me have already tried a coach, a consultant, a book, or a retreat. What they haven't had is someone who's run a company from the inside, sitting with their whole leadership team, working the real issues until they're solved. That's the job. I'm a recovering President and CFO, and I've spent 30 years in every seat a business has.

We get the vision straight first, build the discipline to execute it, and work on the people the whole way through. The business follows its people. Every time.

  • Leadership team coaching

    Full-day sessions with you and the people who run the business with you. Vision, priorities, accountability, issues solved in the room.

  • Owner Roundtable

    A peer group of twelve business leaders in Clearwater, every 90 days. Two hours, breakfast on me, real problems solved at the table.

  • ENRG Clearwater

    A free monthly networking group for entrepreneurs. Ninety minutes, a short teaching segment, then the room works the issues members bring.

  • Certified EOS Implementer®

    For teams that want the full system, I implement EOS. Everything about that work lives on my EOS Worldwide page.

Where I work

Clearwater is home. Central Florida is the territory.

I take new clients within about three hours of the session room, in West Michigan where I'm regularly, and anywhere in the country for companies that are remote or want to run the whole thing virtually.

Owners, in their words

Sensible Micro

“We were stuck. Jeff helped us align our leadership team, get focused, and start solving real issues, fast. He guided, challenged, and coached us into becoming a healthier leadership team.”

Chris Torrioni

President, Sensible Micro

H&S Companies

“Jeff helped us simplify everything. The meetings, the language, the structure. It all just clicked. We had the right people, but no system to bring them together.”

Chase Carpenter

President, H&S Companies

Aerowave Technologies

“Jeff gave us tools we didn’t even know we needed, and showed us how to actually use them. Our leadership team was aligned, focused, and having the right conversations for the first time in years.”

Will Young

CEO, Aerowave Technologies

Not every client is local. Aerowave and Sum Theory are in Dallas; H&S Companies, Lascko, and Jerry's Towing are in West Michigan. The work travels.

I've lived in Clearwater and worked with Tampa Bay owners for years, and I've run businesses on three continents before that. The pattern is the same everywhere. Good people are hard to find and keep. Growth stalls. Profit shrinks. The business depends on the owner, and the owner is carrying more than anyone knows.

What I bring is a sounding board that's actually sat in the chair: 30 years as an operator, 60+ companies as a coach and implementer, and 360+ full days in the room with leadership teams. I'll tell you what you need to hear, and I'll stay until it's fixed.

If you're looking at the paid peer groups in town, Vistage, EO, YPO, C12, TAB, I wrote an honest comparison of all of them and where my rooms fit. Business peer groups in Tampa Bay →

Let's talk.

Everything starts with a 30-minute call. Tell me a little about what's going on, and I'll reply within one business day with a couple of dates and times. Coffee in Clearwater works too.
