Leadership Development for High Growth Private Companies

PowerUp Leadership

Your Business Is Scaling. Is Your Leadership Team Ready?

We help privately held companies strengthen their leadership capacity so they can grow faster, align better, and scale without chaos or burnout.


Growth is good until leadership becomes the bottleneck.

  • Your team is outgrowing direct oversight from the founder or CEO.
  • Mid-level managers are struggling to lead effectively.
  • The culture that helped you grow now feels strained.
  • Important decisions are delayed or inconsistent.
  • You're hiring quickly, but not always building leadership capacity.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. These challenges are common in companies between $5M–$50M in revenue, and they don’t fix themselves with time.

PowerUp Leadership helps fast-growing businesses:

  • Identify and close leadership gaps before they impact performance
  • Turn rising managers into confident, accountable leaders
  • Support CEOs and COOs in scaling decision-making beyond themselves
  • Reduce founder dependence and clarify leadership roles
  • Build internal leadership pipelines that reduce turnover and grow with the company

Whether you need leadership support for your executive team or practical skill-building for first-time managers, we tailor programs to match your stage and growth goals.

Our Approach:

Step 1: Discovery & Leadership Diagnostic
We assess current leadership strengths and stress points across individuals, teams, and roles.

Step 2: Custom Development Plan
We co-design a practical roadmap aligned to your business model, team size, and growth plans.

Step 3: Hands-On Implementation
We deliver customized coaching, leadership training, and advisory support that builds internal capacity fast.

What Sets Us Apart

Built for Growth-Stage Companies
We specialize in the leadership challenges that come with scaling, not just general training.

Custom, Not Off-the-Shelf
Every solution is built with your team, your culture, and your business stage in mind.

Hands-On, High-Touch
We work with you as a partner, not a vendor, and we’re known for responsiveness, clarity, and real results.

Outcomes That Matter
You’ll see stronger accountability, improved decision-making, clearer roles, and a culture that can scale.
