The habits that built your success are starting to slow the business down.
If you run a company or a team in a stretch of fast growth, this probably sounds familiar. The business is more complex than it was a year ago and the team is bigger, but you are still the one solving most of the hard problems. Decisions your people should own keep landing on your desk, and your calendar shows it.
At your level it also gets quiet. Everyone looks to you for answers, which makes it hard to find someone who will tell you what they actually think and has nothing to gain from it. More encouragement won’t change that. A straight conversation with someone who has watched this pattern play out many times might.
Who I Am
I’m Brian Vogel. I spent 25+ years as an HR executive scaling teams through hyper-growth at Indeed, USAA, Verizon, and LogicMonitor, and I still work as a fractional HR executive today. I coach founders and senior leaders who have outgrown the way they have always led. Before any of that I co-captained the swim team at Notre Dame and then coached college swimming, so giving people an honest read is a habit of long standing. I’ll tell you what I see, and I’ll be direct about it.
What the Mutual Fit Assessment Is
The Assessment is a 45 to 60 minute video session where we are both deciding. I keep my client list small on purpose, so I’d rather understand your situation first and be honest about whether I’m the right person to help.
We’ll talk through where things feel stuck right now and how your team works with you. You’ll leave with my candid read on what is getting in the way, whether or not we ever work together.
Who This Is For
Founders, growth-stage leaders, and senior executives whose business is outpacing the way they lead. If you want a cheerleader or a scripted program, I’m probably not your person, and I’d rather say so up front.
What Working Together Can Look Like
If the Assessment shows we are a fit, the work is practical and tied to what is on your plate right now. It usually lands in four places.
- Blind spots: The habits and assumptions that quietly keep you in the middle of everything.
- Your team: Closing the gap between your priorities and how people actually work, including friction, expectations, and accountability.
- Your time: Building routines that point your attention at what matters most right now, then protecting that time.
- Your workload: Handing off daily operations with confidence, so your team carries more and you lead the business instead of running it.
Next Step
Secure your Assessment and give me a few lines about what is going on. I’ll tell you honestly whether I can help, and if I can’t, I’ll point you toward someone who can.
I take on a limited number of clients at a time, so I keep a small number of Assessments open each month.
