The CEO coach who listens for the pattern behind your people problems. Executive coaching for founders and CEOs, by Dr. Brian Grossman, author of Learning to Listen.
The employee who keeps disappointing you. The communication that keeps breaking down. The manager who isn't getting through. The high performer who's checked out. The conflict that keeps coming back.
That's not random. Underneath it there's usually a pattern — and it tends to cost more than leaders realize in trust, retention, time, and profit.
The pattern is rarely the person. It's the loop between a leader's reaction and the team's response, repeating until someone hears it.
Dr. Brian Grossman, PhD, has spent 40+ years and 30,000+ coaching, training, and keynote engagements inside high-pressure leadership environments, including IBM, Hewlett-Packard, the U.S. Treasury, Coca-Cola, LAPD, and Caltech. He is the author of Learning to Listen (SkillPath Publications) and creator of the Feelings Are Money framework. Based in Henderson, Nevada, he coaches leaders across the U.S. by Zoom.
The Feelings Are Money method follows four steps: Pressure — spot the moment tension spikes. Pattern — name the loop between your reaction and their response, and interrupt your side of it within 60 seconds. Performance — choose the next productive action. Profit — protect retention, trust, and deal velocity by changing what keeps repeating.

If the same problem keeps returning after you've given feedback, run training, and changed the process, you may be dealing with a pattern you can't see from inside it. A coach who listens can hear it.
A mentor tells you what worked for them. A coach listens to how you actually lead and helps you change what isn't working for you, your team, and your situation.
