CEO Coaching with Phil Hayes-St Clair
Lead with clarity when the weight is yours to carry.
I coach CEOs to scale themselves, lead great teams, and grow the business, without sacrificing their health and relationships. There are two ways to work with me.
1:1 CEO Coaching
I coach a small number of current and soon-to-be CEOs and MDs each year. This is private, focused work on the decisions only you can make.
Together, we focus on your scalability, becoming a great leader and growing your business through complexity. My clients range from growth-stage founders to enterprise CEOs and they share one idea: A deep desire to operate at their best and build something that endures.
This is built for leaders facing real pressure: M&A, rapid team growth, market shifts, leadership tension, or personal reinvention.
Private, confidential coaching shaped entirely around your situation
→
Strategy, perspective, and accountability at the level you operate
→
A leadership system you keep using long after our work together

Prefer to grow alongside other CEOs?
The same thinking inside a small group of CEO peers chasing the same milestones as you. The CEO Lab is the way in.
GROUP COACHING
The CEO Lab
Your next milestone, whether it’s $20 million or $100 million, asks for a different level of leadership. Join Phil Hayes-St Clair for six weeks as one of six CEOs. Move through as a class and your class stays with you long after the six weeks end.
HOW EACH OF THE FIRST SIX WEEKS WORKS
Two sessions, built around what's in front of you
SESSION ONE
Your 1:1 with Phil
One hour on the decision, blocker or conversation keeping you up at night.
SESSION TWO
The CEO Spotlight
One CEO brings their most pressing problem. The class and Phil work on it together.
YOUR SIX WEEKS

A scored leadership survey and debrief with Phil show where you are as a leader and where your highest-leverage opportunities sit. It anchors every conversation that follows.

Before you decide
-
1:1 coaching is private work shaped entirely around your situation, with a small number of clients each year. The CEO Lab is a six-week group program for six CEOs who go through it together as a cohort. Both draw on the same approach. The difference is whether you want private depth or a peer group alongside you.
-
Current and soon-to-be-CEOs and managing directors who want to lead with clarity and grow the business without trading away their health and relationships. Clients range from growth-stage founders to enterprise CEOs.
-
CEOs in any industry working toward a specific next milestone in revenue or scale, who are coachable, ambitious, and serious about where they want to take the company.
-
The CEO Lab is $10,000 USD for the six-week program. After that, $500 USD per month for the Alumni membership which includes a monthly meeting with Phil and your class, cancel anytime. 1:1 coaching is priced based on the engagement. Book a call to learn more.
-
Six weeks, with two one-hour sessions each week: a private 1:1 with Phil and a group CEO Spotlight session. Beyond the six weeks, every member is invited to join the alumni community and invited to one call with their class each month.
