Thinker's Launchpad is a 6-month business mentorship and coaching program for purpose-driven leaders who want to organically grow a high-impact leadership coaching practice.

You are an amazing coach, and you love coaching... but no one ever taught you the actual "Business of Coaching" and how to successful grow a coaching practice.

It’s not your fault. Coach training programs teach you how to coach, but very few actually prepare you for the other half of the equation: running a business.  

Without that knowledge, many clients come to us while still employed with dreams of leaving a stressful, time-consuming career. They know they need to be more intentional and purposeful with their time to make the shift out of corporate… But they haven’t been able to make any real progress going it alone. Instead, they keep procrastinating by making lots of plans and never taking action, or working on all the wrong things. 

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • You’re spinning your wheels making lists of everything you need to have in place to to launch your business.

  • You suffer from shiny objective syndrome where you keep getting distracted by new opportunities and strategies without any real focus.

  • You feel like you'll never get out of this "building" mode and into actually serving clients. 

You’re not alone. That’s exactly why we created Thinkers Launchpad.

Thinker's Launchpad will set you up for long-term success.

Imagine this: You’re in your home office. You’ve just hung up from an amazing client call —they had such a powerful shift! You turn your attention to your business, already knowing exactly what needs to get done, feeling incredible clarity, focus, and intention. 

You’re able to bring all that positive energy to your family, because you’re saving a ton of time focusing only on the highest-impact activities that move the needle in your business. You’re crushing your revenue goals and clients are actually reaching out asking how they can work with you.

You have the clarity and direction you need to set new goals, the confidence to say no to projects and clients that don’t align, and the boundaries in place to protect your energy and well-being.

You are in control of your professional destiny and you know exactly how to design your business around your life— not the other way around.

Your network is growing steadily, your income is increasing, and you’re feeling excited about the possibilities!

Thinker’s Launchpad gives you the coaching, structure, and systems to make this vision a reality.

Who is Thinker's Launchpad for?

Our clients are lifelong learners with a purpose-driven desire to impact the way we live, love, or work. Thinker’s Launchpad is for you if…

  • You have dreams of becoming a full-time leadership coach and leaving your stressful job.

  • You are an established coach but you aren't operating at your full potential and are not meeting your goals. 

  • You want to establish yourself as a thought leader by sharing your wisdom online.

This program is NOT for you if…

  • You want it all "done for you". This program sets you up for success but you are in the driver's seat taking action.

  • You're not ready to do what you say you're going to do.

  • You don't care about helping people.

Ultimately, if you care about your business and impacting others’ lives, and you’re ready to finally take action, you’ll find success in this program. 

Hi, I’m Jesse. I’m the Founder & CEO of Thinkers Consulting.

I’m here to help you make a meaningful impact on the world while living a life that is values-aligned. 

I work primarily with leaders who want to leave their stressful, busy careers and build an impactful and profitable service-based leadership business.

Why? Because I know what a gift it is to be able to show up in the world in the way you’ve always dreamed. I left a draining agency career and built a flourishing coaching business, all while raising three small children. 

I can still remember how scary it was to figure out how I’d get my first few clients. I was so hung up on everything I needed to launch my business that it took me years to take action on the things that actually lead to results.

By applying behavior design principles in my own life and business, I was able to increase my capacity to do good work, create real momentum in my coaching business, and design my work around my life (not the other way around). 

If you’re wondering how you can do the same, then Thinker's Launchpad is for you.

Client Success

The best time to take action is now.

Making plans doesn't create results. Actions do.

Did you know that 86% of coaching businesses FAIL within the first two years? There’s 3 common reasons…

  • These coaches don't have a system of accountability in place to get them from "planning mode" to "doing mode".

  • They don't have clarity and focus on the direction their trying to go and who they're trying to be, so they can't identify the needle-moving actions to get them there. 

  • They don't invest in support from someone who is highly competent at growing a coaching practices.  

Without accountability, aligned action, and a highly competent advisor, you’re leaving the probability of success in your leadership coaching practice up to chance. 

I know you don’t want that to be your story. You have so much wisdom and experience to share with the world. I believe you can make a huge impact, and I know you do, too! However, that belief is not enough to put you in the 14% of successful coaching businesses. 

That’s why I created the Thinker's Launchpad—to help leaders like you grow wildly successful leadership coaching practices in a systematic and strategic way.

Set yourself up for success

What makes this program different?

Thinkers Launchpad teaches you an end-to-end holistic business building system.

Long-term success as a coach means having two things: 1. A purpose-driven desire to positively impact the world 2. An operations system that can support your ability to execute on that work. No matter how incredible of a coach you are, if you don’t learn to be as skilled at the business of coaching as your are at serving your clients, you won’t succeed. Our ALIGN method shows you exactly how to implement the processes that will allow you to spend less time building and more time impacting. 

We create an environment where success is inevitable if you show up and take action

We don’t just give you bits and pieces of info to pick through – this program is an all-inclusive, holistic business-building system of accountability, aligned-action, and a built-in business advisor to help you achieve your goals.

We’ve set realistic expectations with the pace of this program

Standing up a coaching business is a huge undertaking, that’s why this program runs for 6 months. The pace of this program was specifically designed to provide enough time for you to make some real progress and work through any roadblocks.

We are all about giving you back time.

We know you’re already stretched too thin. While this is an intensive program to propel your business forward, it will not consume your life. The workload to get your business launched in 6 months is around 5 hours a week, on average. 

Our methods are science-backed, tried and true

We have worked with some of the top thought leaders in the coaching industry over the past decade. We’ve seen what works. We’ve seen what doesn’t. We have adjusted the program and refined the systems in order to make Thinker’s Launchpad the most valuable business investment for leadership coaches on the market. We are committed to staying experts in this field, and we test every strategy we teach on our own business and in our own lives.

I care deeply about you and your business

I know how life-changing it can be to control your own professional destiny and take back control of your time.  I am truly motivated by your success, first and foremost. I care deeply about my clients, and I created this program because it pains me to see so many amazing coaches going unseen and unheard, unable to have the impact that they could on the world. ~Jesse

I'm here for you.

I remember how scary it was to leave the security of a full-time job and begin building my own business. I was pregnant with my first child, we had just purchased our first house, and I had every reason not to move forward with my plans. I didn’t know if I’d succeed, and I felt imposter syndrome about whether or not I was even qualified. 

Thankfully, I was more afraid of living a life without purpose and joy than I was of failing …so I went for it. I had a vision of what my life could look like, and I committed to hold that vision and trust the process. 

I put in the hard work, both internally and on my business, and found what was on the other side… freedom. This is what I want for you. 

Thinker’s Launchpad gives you everything you need to design a life you love and finally go all in on on your leadership coaching business.
