We did quite a bit better than expected in our first year since I stepped in as CEO and brought Barb on as a coach. We exceeded our objectives, and the pressure is on to prove that we can keep doing it. With everything moving so quickly, Barb has been great at bringing me back to the basics. 

With her in my corner, I have total confidence that I have the support to thrive as we continue to grow."

Most CEOs hit a wall they can't break through alone

And when businesses stall, boards get nervous.
The proof is in the statistics: two out of five CEOs fail within 18 months.

You’re already feeling it:

  • You can’t pull yourself out of the day-to-day long enough to focus on strategy
  • When problems come up, everyone looks to you
  • You’re working all the time, but the business isn’t growing
  • You don’t know where to focus for the biggest impact
  • You second guessing every decision, every more

The good news is, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Join the CEOs who thrive and keep their seats.
Get support from a CEO who’s been exactly where you are.

“Barb has done an exceptional job guiding us through Metronomics. She creates an environment where every member of the team is actively engaged—drawing insight, ownership, and ideas from everyone, not just from me.

Because of her approach, the team is truly bought into the vision. Conversations are collaborative, decisions are made together, and the momentum no longer runs solely through the CEO. We’re operating as a leadership team.

I feel genuinely energized, aligned, and excited about where we’re headed.”

Amber Nelms

CEO, Triangle ABA

“Working one-on-one with Barb has helped me identify what’s worth my limited time and, more importantly, what isn’t. Having a coach who’s done it all before gave me the clarity I needed to successfully raise the maximum investment based on our valuation in just a few months.

Big things are now happening at Hylid and my stress is down, because my focus is right where it needs to be!”

Jack Fairbank

CEO, Hylid Diagnostics

From complexity to actionable strategy

You know that making an expensive mistake could set you back. Even cost you your seat. But what if you could lean on a trusted advisor who sees your blind spots and helps you clear the path to growth? 

I’m Barb–

Experienced CEO. CEO and leadership team coach. Investor. Investment advisor.

When I became a CEO, I wasn’t ready.

Like many leaders, I struggled to get out of day-to-day execution to focus on being strategic. Meanwhile, my board expected big results.

I was working all the time, and I felt alone and unsupported. 

At first I tried to grind it out alone. I read the leadership books, connected with other leaders, and thought about stacking my team with expensive hires.

Eventually, I found Metronomics. It’s the only system I’ve come across that links strategy to execution, so the team can own their part in the big picture. And it works for organizations at every stage–from startup to global leader.

Implementing the system with a coach I trusted helped me grow the company I was leading into a global diagnostics leader.

For a decade, I gave my board positive results. And I felt completely supported by my coach and team along the way.

Now, I’m on a mission to make sure CEOs don’t have to navigate growth—or demanding boards—alone. I coach them to get the results their boards want and build the companies they actually want to lead.

If you’ve been wondering if hiring an expensive resource will help you feel more supported and kickstart growth…

Before you invest $200K+ in a new COO, VP of Sales,
or another executive hire—let’s talk about getting you the support and strategic guidance you actually need from a former CEO who has scaled companies into global leaders.
