You don't need to "fake it." You need a foundation
you can actually stand on. This is where you build it.

Phillip Holmes

The Patterns Followed You.
Coaching Helps You Drop Them.

You earned a role with clear expectations and watched them dissolve into chaos and moving goalposts.

You delivered results and watched your boss take credit while questioning your competence the same week.

You tried to lead and found yourself quietly excluded from the decisions that affect your own role.

To survive it, you adapted. You started second-guessing yourself. Staying quiet to keep the peace. Running on hypervigilance. These aren't flaws. They're learned survival behaviors. Coaching helps you replace them with something that actually serves you and the people you're meant to lead.

Proof it works

From Stress Leave to VP in 3 Months.

A COO of a healthcare organization came to me on stress leave. Within four sessions, the light came back. Within three months, she had a VP of Operations offer in hand from a healthier organization. She's now on retainer because she wants to keep growing.

And she's not the only one.

Phillip Holmes

I didn't start coaching because I read a book about leadership.

I started because I left a toxic work environment and realized I was carrying the dysfunction with me. Before coaching, I was a Chief Communications Officer in higher education. I earned three promotions in under five years and took every major channel to record-breaking numbers. But I didn't have the tools to navigate the political chaos above me, and it cost me my confidence.

When I left to build my own agency, I thought the problem was behind me. Then I noticed the same patterns showing up in how I led my own team. That's when I went all in on leadership development. Not as a career move, but as a survival mechanism.

The tools I teach my clients are the same ones that restored my own clarity and leadership. Everything I went through produced something. I built this program to help you use what yours produced, too.

What Changes in 12 Weeks

You'll stop second-guessing yourself. You'll know exactly how to respond when the goalposts move or someone takes credit for your work. And you'll know, with clarity, whether to stay, leave, or negotiate your exit.

A structured process designed to restore your confidence. The same approach that helped a COO on stress leave land a VP of Operations role within three months.

Here is how we get there:

Is This Right for You?

This is for you if

  • You're a high performer whose confidence and clarity have been buried by a broken environment
  • You've been told your "attitude" or "communication" is the problem, but you know the real issue is the dysfunction above you
  • You're ready to stop shrinking and start leading the way you were built to lead

This is not for you if

  • You're looking for someone to write your resume or find you a job
  • You want generic, corporate-default advice on how to manage up

Can We Be Honest for a Moment?

Reaching out for help when you're used to being the strongest person in the room is uncomfortable. It brings up guilt. It makes you question if you should just be able to figure this out on your own.

But the environment didn't break you. Your confidence, your clarity, and your judgment didn't leave. They got buried under someone else's dysfunction.

You can wait for the environment to change, or you can decide the pattern stops here. Everything you went through produced something. Coaching helps you use it, for yourself and for the people you're meant to lead.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Custom Plan is a written strategy I build for your situation, delivered in days. The coaching program is a 12-week, six-session deep dive where we work through your situation together in real time. Some clients start with the Custom Plan and move into coaching later. Some go straight to coaching. Both paths work. If you purchase the Custom Plan first, your investment can be credited toward the coaching program.

Most career coaching focuses on resume writing, interview prep, or generic advice on how to manage up. This is a tactical framework designed specifically for navigating toxic work environments without losing your confidence. You walk away with prescribed scripts, tools, and a custom plan built for your exact situation.

Therapy looks backward to understand where the pain comes from. Coaching looks at what's in front of you and builds a strategy for navigating it. I recommend therapy alongside coaching when it makes sense, because the two complement each other. But what we do in sessions is forward-facing: clarity, scripts, and tools you can use this week.

You get results because this isn't generic advice or venting sessions. You get a custom written plan built for your exact situation, backed by frameworks that have helped clients go from stress leave to VP roles, negotiate exits with leverage, and walk into interviews with confidence they thought was gone. The clients who see the fastest results are the ones who take what we build in sessions and apply it immediately.

Sessions are typically every other week over the 12-week window, but we adjust to what works for you. You book directly through a calendar link, and if your schedule shifts or life happens, you can reschedule with 24 hours notice.

You get direct email access to Phillip between sessions for quick questions or gut checks. You also get a full year in the Detox Founders community, which includes a private group chat and regular Q&As.

Yes. The total investment is $1,980, but if you prefer to break it up, you can choose a two-pay option ($1,100 x 2) or a three-pay option ($880 x 3).

Yes. The consultation is a 15-minute conversation to understand your situation and figure out if this is the right fit. If the timing isn't right or I don't think I can help, I'll tell you. Either way, you'll walk away with clarity.

Your Investment

$1,980

Complete 12-week program. Payment plans available.

For context

The average executive coach charges $300–500 per session. A single leadership certification costs $5,000–8,000 and doesn't address the real issue.

The real issue isn't your resume. It's what happens when you walk into a room and don't trust your own voice anymore. That's what this program is built for.

Six private sessions. A custom plan. Prescribed tools. A full year of ongoing support. Everything you need to stop surviving and start leading again.
