The same drive that builds a career can also make it harder to ask for help. High-achieving people often manage privately for a long time before anything gives — because the performance has always been there to cover for what's happening underneath. This is coaching designed for that specific person.
What It Is
Executive coaching at Elemental Collaborative sits at the intersection of performance and recovery. It is not solely focused on sobriety, and it is not solely focused on professional development. It is focused on the whole picture — helping high-functioning individuals close the gap between how their life looks and how it actually feels. Sessions address leadership, decision-making, professional relationships, performance under pressure, and the personal dynamics — including substance use and mental health — that quietly affect all of the above. Everything is confidential.
Who It's For
Executives, professionals, and entrepreneurs who are functioning at a high level and managing something privately. People who can't afford — professionally or personally — to slow down, but who know that something needs to change. Also for professionals in early recovery who want coaching that understands their world. Not just the recovery piece, but the career, the identity, the pressure, and what it actually takes to perform sustainably.
How It Works
Executive coaching engagements are structured, confidential, and built around your schedule. Sessions are typically weekly or biweekly, conducted in person or virtually depending on preference and location. The work is goal-driven and adapted as circumstances evolve. For clients who are also navigating recovery, executive coaching can be combined with recovery coaching or coordinated with other providers through case management.
Dan brings something most executive coaches don't: firsthand experience of high-functioning addiction from the inside, and the professional credibility to speak the language of the people he works with.
