A structured framework for real change
Coaching at Grey Mahout is personalized, while following a structured framework to ensure clarity, alignment, and measurable progress. The goal is to create real change that holds in the real world: in your decisions, communication, relationships, and daily leadership habits.

We begin with a short conversation (free 30 minutes) to understand what you are navigating and whether we are a good fit.
What we'll explore:
- What you are navigating right now
- What a good outcome would look like
- What support you have tried so far
- Whether coaching, consulting, or a blend is the right fit
- Whether we feel like a fit to work together
If we decide to move forward, most clients begin with an 8-session engagement (60 minutes each, held weekly or bi-weekly). We can adjust pacing based on your context.
The 5-Step Iterative Cycle
This is not a one-time linear process. We move through these stages in cycles. As you learn and take action, we refine the goals and keep building traction.
Goal Setting
We define what success looks like for the engagement, and translate it into goals that are specific and actionable.
What we do
- Clarify the change you want (role transition, leadership growth, team challenge, decision, conflict)
- Identify the outcomes that matter most (for you and for the system around you)
- Set short-term goals (next 2-4 weeks) and longer-term goals (2-6 months)
- Define what progress will look like in behavior, not just feelings
What you leave with
- A clear set of goals and success indicators
- A few 'high leverage' focus areas so the work stays focused
The Intersection Model
At the heart of Grey Mahout is the Intersection Model, which looks at change across three levels. Most leadership challenges live at the intersection of all three.
We identify which level is driving the challenge most right now, then design interventions that match. This is why the work is both practical and deep: it addresses what is happening inside you, between people, and around you.
Individual
Beliefs, values, identity, self-trust, emotional regulation, leadership style, and personal patterns under stress.
If the constraint is here: self-doubt, avoidance, clarity, nervous system regulation
Interpersonal Relations
Communication, influence, conflict, feedback, trust, relationship dynamics, team norms.
If the constraint is here: misalignment, unclear expectations, conflict, feedback loops
Organizational System
Org structure, incentives, processes, decision-making, culture, power dynamics, and the context that shapes behavior.
If the constraint is here: incentives, role confusion, decision rights, process breakdowns
Flexibility and Duration
Most clients see meaningful progress within 8 sessions. We will reassess along the way and adjust the scope if you need fewer sessions or want to extend the work.
