The average Return on Investment (ROI) for executive coaching varies across studies, typically ranging from 500% to 700%.

Notable findings include:

MetrixGlobal Study: Reported a 788% ROI (7.88x) for executive coaching, considering factors like productivity and employee retention.

Manchester Consulting Group: Found an average ROI of nearly 5.7x the initial investment in executive coaching.

International Coach Federation (ICF): Indicated that organizations investing in coaching experienced an average ROI of 7x the cost.

These studies highlight the substantial financial returns organizations can achieve through executive coaching, alongside qualitative benefits such as enhanced leadership skills, improved team dynamics, and increased employee engagement.

When you combine Executive Coaching with

👉 Peak Performance/Flow State Coaching,
👉 Fractional CMO experience,
👉 Value Acceleration,
👉 Exit Planning, and
👉 Conversational Hypnosis -

You get my Growth Acceleration Program, which has ROIs like this 👇

I don't care who your mama is - an average ROI of 427x is a good investment any day.

What could you do with that kind of ROI? 🤔

Could be a good opportunity for a fellow Houstonian.

We’re hiring an Operations Manager / Chief of Staff in Houston.

If you’re highly organized, proactive, assertive, and thrive in a fast-paced, high-urgency environment, then I’d like to ask… May I meet you?

This person will work directly with me, as an extension of me.

You will wear many hats and take ownership of a broad set of responsibilities across the company.

Ideally, you’ve worked directly with a founder or CEO at a fast-growing company and know what that pace feels like.

This is an in-office role (we are in West Houston). No exceptions.

DM me if you'd like to be considered, or if you know someone I should meet.

Thank you!!

I've been quiet lately due to being deep in due diligence on a double-acquisition that is the foundation of what will be a revolutionary roll-up in industries where this "just isn't done".

The journey to get to this point has been a bingeworthy Netflix limited series in the making.

More soon

I got an email recently that I wrote to myself last year, & it upset me...

When I wrote it, I was in a hotel room in Houston with Spawn, an elderly doggo, & twin calico kittens. No clear next steps - just the knowledge that I'd gotten us to Texas, and that was a start.

Progress can be subtle in the day-to-day. It's easier to see when you look at the before & after 12 months apart.

That's why I write this email to my future self every year - a simple list of where I am right now in every area of my life, followed by where I envision myself in 12 months.

Usually, rereading these emails gives me a huge dopamine boost - holy crap, I exceeded my expectations by a LOT! Go me!

This year hit different.

24 things on the list -> zero dopamine.

It felt like I hadn't moved forward at all.

In fact, several entries made me feel like I was worse off than a year ago.

The cognitive dissonance was real because 2024 felt HUGE in terms of growth and expansion, both personally & professionally.

Sure, I didn't hit the list items - but I did a LOT of great stuff that wasn't on the list.

Then it hit me: I was looking through the wrong lens.

I wanted 2024 to be a year of transformation.

After 40+ years of living in survival mode, I thought I was ready to crush all my goals & build empires.

Except you can't sustainably leap from surviving to thriving without making space to process what wasn't safe to express before.

2024 was that necessary transition period for me.

It forced me to get painfully clear on the quality of life I'm creating for myself and my kid.

It presented opportunities that weren't the right fit to test if I could recognize what's NOT for me. (Stories are coming soon...)

It challenged whether what I thought my main business needed to be was really what it needed to be. Spoiler alert - it wasn't.

It was like a wildfire that burns away all the excess nonsense that stifles new growth & enriches the soil. Going through the fire hurts like hell, but you emerge stronger.

Here's what I learned:

🌿 Growth doesn't always come from expected sources
🌿 It doesn't happen on some predetermined timeline
🌿 The levers you need to pull often seem completely unrelated to your goals

You have to create the space for growth to happen - create an environment where it's possible - then keep nurturing it while nature takes its course.

I've seen the effectiveness of this in my Growth Acceleration Program clients as well. This is how we achieve such insane ROIs together.

I think about where 2023 Beki was when she wrote the email to herself. She didn't have a ton of extra cash - but she did invest in herself & it paid off.

If you're at that sticking point - where you can see your next level but can't quite reach it on your own - and you're ready to create real, sustainable growth, then let's talk. I have one spot left in my Growth Acceleration Program at 2024 prices, available until 11:59 pm Central today (Dec 30, 2024). DM me to claim it. ✨
