SECOND FIRST COACH
One-on-one coaching for the Second-In-Command.
The Second First coaching framework is created specifically for the #2 Leader of founder-led companies, providing knowledge, tools, and insights to thrive in your position.
The role of the Second-In-Command can be challenging, misunderstood, and isolating. Each COO role is completely different, and solely based on the strengths, weaknesses, and individual needs of the founder. Because of this, there are few executive coaches that specialize in the COO. During the Second-In-Command Coaching engagement, you can anticipate one-on-one coaching sessions and tools tailored to your specific needs and challenges.
Alongside personalized support, the Second First framework includes the following key topics:
- Strategic Planning & Action Plans
- Upward Communication & Reverse Delegation
- The Psychology of an Entrepreneur
- Leading & Managing Teams
- The Ideal Week
- Personal Branding as an Executive
- And more
LAUNCH DAY
The Second First Coaching Framework begins with a Launch Day, a half-day kick-off with both the CEO and Second-In-Command. We work through various exercises to get on the same page, learn how to best work together, and align on priorities. Along with personal objectives, the COO will have access to additional trainings such as Strategic Planning, Leading & Managing Teams, Working with Entrepreneurs, and Time Planning and Balancing.
BI-WEEKLY ONE-ON-ONES
Your coach will facilitate one-on-one sessions every other week with the COO. During “off weeks”, the work is being done – implementing training, projects, assigned reading, or strategic planning. A check-in will be conducted on alternate weeks to ensure progress and provide continuous support.
QUARTERLY SAME PAGE MEETINGS
Quarterly, a meeting with the CEO and COO will be facilitated by your coach to review quarterly planning outcomes and align on initiatives for the upcoming quarter. The book Rocket Fuel describes this as a Same Page Meeting™. This is a 2-4 hour offsite meeting meant to built your personal relationship, list issues, concerns, ideas, and disconnects, and work through them all until solved. This will set the intentions and priorities for the upcoming quarter of coaching.
