⸻ HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
Every engagement is built around one outcome: a company that works — and a life that does too.
I offer three ways to work together, depending on where you are and what you need most. All engagements are flat-fee and all-inclusive — travel, preparation, deliverables, and support are included. No hourly billing. No scope creep. No surprises.
How We Work Together
⸻ HALF-DAY ON-SITE INTENSIVE
Owner Reset
The Owner Reset is a focused, four-hour working session held at your location. It is designed for owners who need to step back from the day-to-day, reset their priorities, and walk away with a clear and actionable plan for the next 90 days.
What’s Included
A four-hour on-site working session to reset priorities and surface the operational bottlenecks holding you back
A clear 90-day action plan with defined ownership and milestones for each initiative
A follow-up call within two weeks to review progress and ensure traction
You are feeling overwhelmed, uncertain about the right next steps, or like you have lost your footing. This is the fastest way to get clarity and start building momentum again. Many of my ongoing partnerships begin here.

⸻ TWO-WEEK DEEP DIVE
Momentum Assessment
The Momentum Assessment is a thorough, honest evaluation of your business — your operations, your team, your financials, and the constraints holding your growth back. In two weeks, you will have a clear and prioritized picture of exactly what is working, what is not, and what to address first.
What’s Included
A kickoff call and in-person site visit to assess operations, leadership effectiveness, and financial performance
A customized report identifying inefficiencies, risks, leadership gaps, and growth constraints
A clear, prioritized roadmap for the next 6 to 12 months
A working presentation session to walk through findings and align on next steps together
You want a thorough, honest picture of where your company stands — and a credible plan for where to go next. The Momentum Assessment frequently leads directly into a Transformational Partnership.

⸻ ONGOING EXECUTIVE ENGAGEMENT
Transformational Partnership
The Transformational Partnership is the heart of what Rawhide Executive Solutions was built to deliver. It is a sustained monthly engagement designed to reduce your dependency in the business, strengthen your leadership team, drive profitability, and restore the balance you built this company to have.
What’s Included
Regular in-person sessions at your location to maintain focus, accountability, and forward momentum
Virtual meetings and calls between in-person sessions
Monthly strategic deliverables tailored to your priorities
Direct phone and email access between sessions
All travel and preparation time included
What It Builds
→ Leadership depth and accountability systems that function without you in every room
→ Operational discipline that drives consistent, sustainable profitability
→ A company with the strength and structure to stand on its own — whatever comes next
You are serious about making lasting change. Not a quick fix, not a report, and not a passive advisory arrangement. This is a sustained, hands-on partnership built around one outcome: a company that works — and a life that does too.

Frequently Asked Questions
ABOUT THIS WORK
-
Traditional consulting firms send a team, spend months gathering data, and hand you a thick report. Then they leave. The advice is often sound — but implementation is left entirely to you, and the results rarely match the investment.
This is different. I work alongside you directly, in person and at your location, with a focus on execution, not just diagnosis. I don't hand off a binder and disappear. I stay involved until the work is done and the momentum is real.
-
A business coach typically meets with you by phone or video, asks good questions, and helps you think through your challenges. That has value but it is not what I do.
I am your executive partner. I show up in person. I assess your operations, your team, and your financials. I give you direct, experienced judgment, not just good questions. And I stay involved to make sure changes actually take hold. Think of the difference between talking about a problem and solving it.
-
We combine a thoughtful, human-centered approach with clear communication and reliable results. It’s not just what we do—it’s how we do it that sets us apart.
WHO THIS IS FOR
-
Owners of service and manufacturing companies, typically with 50 to 150 employees, in the Ohio Valley. Companies that have been built over time, have real customers and real teams, and are at an inflection point — whether that is a growth challenge, a leadership gap, starting to think about a transition or exit, or an owner who is simply carrying more than they should be.
If you are pragmatic, value straight talk, and want your company to serve your life again rather than consume it — this is built for you.
-
My work is primarily designed for owners — the person who carries the full weight of the business and wants to change that. That said, I occasionally work with non-owner executives in family-owned or closely held businesses where the owner is supportive of the engagement.
If you are in that position, reach out. The most effective path usually involves the owner at some level, because lasting change requires buy-in from the top. We can have a quick conversation to see if the fit is right.
GETTING STARTED
-
All engagements are flat-fee and all-inclusive — travel, preparation, deliverables, and ongoing support are included. No hourly billing, no scope creep, and no surprise invoices.
Pricing is shared directly in conversation. Reach out, and we will talk through what makes sense for your situation.
HOW IT WORKS
-
There are three:
– The Owner Reset is a focused, four-hour on-site working session. You walk away with a clear 90-day action plan and a follow-up call to ensure traction. It is the fastest way to get clarity and start moving again.
– The Momentum Assessment is a thorough two-week evaluation of your business — operations, leadership, financials, and growth constraints. You receive a prioritized roadmap and a working presentation session to walk through findings together.
– The Transformational Partnership is an ongoing monthly engagement built around sustained, lasting change. In-person sessions, virtual support between visits, monthly strategic deliverables, and direct access to me — all flat-fee and all-inclusive.
Many owners start with an Owner Reset or Momentum Assessment and move into an ongoing partnership from there.
-
The Owner Reset and Momentum Assessment are one-time engagements with defined scopes and clear deliverables. For owners who move into a Transformational Partnership, engagements typically run six to eighteen months — though there is no long-term commitment. The relationship continues as long as it is delivering real value, and not a day longer.
-
No, you never do. The Owner Reset and Momentum Assessment are designed specifically as low-commitment starting points — concrete, valuable on their own, and a natural way to see how we work together before deciding anything further. There is no pressure to move into an ongoing partnership. I founded Rawhide Executive Solutions specifically to make an impact – if either of us think I have made as much of an impact as I can, the ROI no longer makes sense, or I have accomplished my goal of helping you get everything all set – then our partnership is complete.
-
Less than you might expect — and structured so it does not disrupt your operations. The Owner Reset is a single four-hour session. The Momentum Assessment requires a kickoff call, a site visit day, and a findings presentation, plus some time to gather documents upfront. For an ongoing partnership, we build a rhythm that fits your schedule and your company's pace.
The goal is not to add to your workload. It is to reduce it.
RESULTS & EXPECTATIONS
-
Most owners notice early gains quickly — clearer priorities, stronger accountability in their team, and better visibility into what is actually driving the business. Over a longer engagement, the results are structural: a company that runs more independently, a leadership team that makes better decisions without you in every room, and a business that is worth more and weighs less.
Results depend on implementation — this is not passive. But if you do the work, the work delivers.
-
The entry-point engagements — the Owner Reset and Momentum Assessment — deliver concrete, tangible value regardless of what comes next. You leave with a real plan, not a brochure. That alone is worth the investment.
For owners who move into a Transformational Partnership, part of the fees from the entry engagement are credited toward the first month. That reflects how confident I am that the fit and the value will be clear from the start.
