Discover the 3 hidden dysfunctions keeping smart executives & Leaders drowning in 12-hour days while their teams create chaos instead of results
Help me out of stress & Show me How To Build The Team I Always Wanted.
Transform capable leaders into confident decision-makers so your business runs without you being the emotional or operational hub.
Make sure sound is on!
See exactly where leadership is leaking time, energy, and growth.
Most leaders assume their team is the problem.
In reality, the system routes too much responsibility back to them.
This step makes the invisible visible.
You identify the specific decision patterns, emotional habits, and structural defaults that quietly turn capable leaders into bottlenecks.
Clarity isn’t comfort.
It’s the moment you finally see why everything runs through you.
Stop being the default decision-maker without lowering standards.
Firefighting isn’t caused by weak people.
It’s caused by unclear ownership and broken decision architecture.
Here we dismantle the cycles that force escalation, second-guessing, and dependence.
Your team learns how to think, decide, and act without pulling you back in.
The result is not chaos or loss of control.
It’s fewer interruptions and higher-quality outcomes.
Shift from constant involvement to strategic leadership.
When ownership is clear, leadership gets lighter.
You move out of daily problem-solving and back into:
Direction
Standards
Strategic decisions that actually move the business forward
This is where leaders reclaim 10–15 hours a week without revenue loss.
Not by doing less.
By no longer being required for everything.
12-hour days and progress still depends on you
You carry responsibility you were never trained to transfer
The quiet thought: “Am I the problem?” or "Do I know what I am doing?"
You rescue struggling team members while top performers burn out
Conflict gets avoided until it explodes at the worst time
People agree in meetings but act differently afterward
A “calm” culture that quietly kills momentum and innovation
Vacations feel risky because everything runs through you

You didn’t step into leadership to become the system.
That’s not leadership failure.
That’s leadership design.
Most capable leaders accidentally build organizations that route:
- Decisions upward
- Responsibility inward
- Risk avoidance across the team
It feels responsible.
It quietly caps growth.
Until that changes, no amount of effort will make leadership feel lighter.

When responsibility stops flowing back to you, leadership becomes what it was meant to be.
Not easier.
Clearer.
Your team owns outcomes and solves problems without defaulting to you.
Conflict becomes productive. Meetings create decisions, not drama.
Alignment replaces follow-up. Initiative replaces approval-seeking.
10–15 hours a week back, without revenue loss or chaos.
This isn’t about doing less.
It’s about no longer being required for everything.
👉 You don’t have to keep carrying the company or team on your shoulders.
With the right frameworks and systems, leadership gets lighter, growth feels easier, and your team finally runs with you, not against you.

I am an Ex-Military Officer turned Leadership Transformation Coach.
I know what it feels like to carry the weight of responsibility.
In the military, lives depended on clear leadership. In the business world, livelihoods do.
After working with overwhelmed executives, founders, and leaders at multiple 7-figure companies and speaking for Microsoft, I’ve seen the same patterns over and over, and Here's what I discovered: The leaders who thrive aren't superhuman. They just have better systems and frameworks
Are you ready to step into a future defined by clarity, focus, and growth?
As a Leadership Trainer, I help you so that when you look at yourself in the mirror, instead of wishing you had come further by now, you feel proud of who you are and the team you built.







We identify where decisions, emotions, and responsibility are unnecessarily routed to you.
We rebuild decision rights, expectations, and standards so your team can think and act independently.
Ownership becomes normal. Escalation becomes intentional, not habitual.
No hype.
No generic leadership advice.
Instead, get Systems. Standards & Clarity.
I had the opportunity to bring Joakim in to lead a productivity and leadership workshop for our Partner Center Marketplace team at Microsoft, and it was very valuable for me and our team. We operate in a fast-paced, global environment, with teams spread across time zones and individuals juggling multiple projects at the same time. Our days are full of meetings, unexpected issues, and constant reprioritization. If not managed carefully, delivery easily slips, and the result is working extra hours and weekends just to stay on track. What we were looking for was not another internal training or tool, but an external perspective. Someone who could give us a framework and awareness. That mindset shift was exactly what Joakim delivered. The biggest shift for me personally was awareness. Many of the things he shared were things I felt I already knew, but had not really been paying attention to. That awareness made it clear that change does not come from external circumstances. It starts with me. That realization was powerful. Joakim helped us filter out noise and delusions, and clearly distinguish between what feels urgent and what is actually important. His framework helped us understand how to better give and receive tasks, manage competing priorities, and mitigate urgency by being more intentional and prepared. His approach resonated strongly because it is highly applicable to product management and cross-functional work. It provided clarity in how to focus on what truly matters, rather than constantly reacting. The session was energetic, informative, and fun. The structure, data, and tempo kept people engaged, and made it easier for participants to follow along and contribute. I would recommend Joakim to anyone working in a fast-moving corporate environment. Many teams are struggling to sort out what matters most, and this kind of clarity and framework is incredibly helpful.

If not for Joakim, we wouldn't have the company today. We simply wouldn't have a company because we wouldn't be able to look at the challenges that we had. Working with Joakim has been transformative for both my leadership journey and personal growth. It's been one of the best professional decisions I've made. What sets Joakim apart is his unique approach. He brings abundant wisdom and guidance to every session, yet never imposes his views. Instead, he approaches each conversation with genuine curiosity, asking thoughtful questions that lead me to my own insights. He has this remarkable ability to read the room and guide without pushing, which has been invaluable. Joakim doesn't just work on your professional challenges - he understands how personal growth and leadership are interconnected. He helped me work through personal challenges that were unconsciously affecting my leadership style. As I often tell him, he's probably the only man that makes me cry - but those tears represent breakthrough moments and clarity about what I need to do and who I need to be. The impact has been profound: • Our leadership team shifted from power struggles to genuine partnership - we now have each other's backs • I gained the confidence to have crucial conversations with company owners about needed changes • I learned that managing systems is different from leading people, and developed my authentic leadership style • We implemented practical tools like a 24-hour cooling-off period before giving feedback, which completely transformed how we handle conflicts • Our entire culture evolved from reactive firefighting to proactive, strategic thinking The ripple effect is remarkable - team members who chose to work with Joakim show visible increases in confidence and performance, while those who didn't are noticeably struggling more. I've gained deeper self-awareness about my strengths, areas for growth, and what it means to lead with both empathy and high standards. Even beyond work, Joakim's coaching has helped me strengthen relationships and release personal burdens I had carried for years. Simply put, if not for Joakim, we wouldn't be the company we are today. He doesn't give you ready-made answers; he shows you the way so you can step into your best self as a leader. His preparation, dedication, and ability to guide you to your own insights rather than just telling you what to do sets him apart. I highly recommend Joakim to anyone seeking to enhance their leadership capabilities or facing doubt, difficult team dynamics, or feeling overwhelmed by responsibility. The transformation doesn't just improve how you lead, it transforms how you understand yourself as a person and a leader


From Overwhelm to Ownership | Bart Góralewicz, CEO & Founder of ZipTie, was stuck. Running an AI startup with 6 founders across 3 continents meant constant alignment challenges. Decisions got delayed. Accountability was missing. The fear of difficult conversations kept the team in a cycle of unresolved dysfunction. "I was working 16 hours a day just to align everyone. I was afraid to make someone unhappy, which was my mistake." Through our work together, Bart discovered that leadership isn't about owning everything. It's about owning your part, and holding others accountable from a grounded, respectful place. "It opened my eyes to dysfunctions I was allowing on a daily basis. Most of the challenges we had back then are resolved." Today, Bart leads with clarity instead of overwhelm. The team operates with accountability instead of fear. Ready for the same shift?

ROI: $10,000 in one week. Time investment: 30 minutes. I waited six years to have difficult conversations with clients about expanded scope and additional fees. Six years of working additional hours for free because I felt embarrassed to ask for what my work was worth. Joakim asked one question in our first meeting that changed everything. The mindset shift was immediate. The results followed within days. The client conversations I have been avoiding turned out to be all successful. The revenue I would have written off is now invoiced and paid. This isn't just coaching and business development. It's someone who sees exactly where you're stuck and knows precisely what question will set you free. Everyone has blind spots. You can't see yours alone. That's why you need Joakim. Best business decision I've made. Period.


Working with Joakim has helped me break patterns I’d been stuck in for years, especially around client conversations and setting boundaries. What once felt complicated suddenly became simple because he asked the one question that shifted everything. I was genuinely impressed by how powerful it is to have another voice that roots for you, challenges you, and pushes you to grow into the clearest and most confident version of yourself. Even from the very first introductory meeting, I felt the impact. I was honestly surprised by how quickly he helped me see things I had avoided for so long. Within the first weeks, the investment already returned tenfold, securing $ 15 000, and that momentum is still growing. He’s also been working with my coworker and partner, helping us navigate difficult conversations and work more effectively as a team. The biggest gift has been that he doesn’t just solve the problem for you. He gives you the tools to handle it yourself. We’ve gained clarity in our vision, alignment in our goals, and accountability that actually sticks. The shifts have been real and tangible. I feel more grounded, more confident, and more aligned with the value of my work. What I appreciate most is how quickly he understands a situation and how naturally he guides you toward clarity, without pressure, just honest insight that genuinely makes a difference. I only wish I had started this years ago.


My first stress-free, and phone-free vacation ever, which I got while I was scaling the company past 100 employees, and the company was thriving without my presence.


At Microsoft, Joakim's session lead to enhanced decision-making and reduced stress in the workplace. […] The session not only provided valuable tools for personal growth but also equipped our community with skills that will undoubtedly contribute to their professional success within Microsoft and in their personal lives. Thank you!


I worked with a lot of coaches, and I must say that Joakim's approach is rare and one of a kind. He not only really cares, but he leads with his heart and can find my blind spots and help me address them by giving me gentle nudges in the right direction. If you are looking for a coach who's very effective but starts with an in-depth understanding of your blocks, look no further! I strongly believe that a lot of coaches can push you to deliver results, but Joakim brings a ton of fun, great energy, and pure love for life into every meeting we have

I attended Joaakim's leadership workshop and found it immediately actionable. The biggest insight I gained was recognizing how much time I lose to distractions and delusions. His systematic approach to prioritizing what truly matters has already changed how I plan my days. Would recommend to anyone struggling with competing priorities!


I attended Joakim's productivity session and left with tools I could use immediately. The biggest insight I gained was understanding how to transform firefighting into proactive problem-solving. His emphasis on anticipation over reaction resonated strongly. Would recommend to teams dealing with constant crises.


Joakim's coaching came at a crucial crossroads in my career. He was instrumental in helping not only myself but also the rest of our leadership identify key patterns that were getting in the way of our collective productivity. Our sessions were always well-focused and flew by, and his questions were insightful. I also appreciated his provided examples which were all surrounding current data, science-backed frameworks and proven tactics. Thanks so much for your time throughout this process, Joakim.


Before working with Joakim, I was stuck in a cycle of perfectionism and self-doubt. I constantly questioned myself. Why can't I be more efficient? Why does everything take so long? I was harsh on myself, frustrated, and overwhelmed by to-do lists that never truly moved the business forward. Joakim helped me see what I couldn't see on my own. Not by pushing harder, but by cutting through the noise and challenging how I was thinking. Through his coaching, I learned to ask better questions. What actually needs to be done today? What truly matters right now? Where does my perfectionism serve me, and where does it hold me back? The shift has been profound. I moved from constant frustration to a deep sense of calm and clarity. I stopped trying to do everything and started delivering what matters. My business partner and I now plan not just our week, but our month. That clarity has translated into real results. We’ve saved hours every week, improved communication, and created significant growth. The biggest breakthrough was realizing that things don’t need to be perfect to move forward. I can accept mistakes, learn from them, and still execute with confidence. We are creatures of habit. We move through life inside our patterns without noticing them. Sometimes you need someone on the outside who can see clearly, show you where you’re stuck, and help you shift how you operate. Joakim did exactly that for me. If you’re a leader who overthinks, carries too much responsibility, and knows you’re capable of more with the right clarity and structure, I would absolutely recommend Joakim. His insights are sharp, practical, and deeply impactful. I’m genuinely grateful for how much we’ve grown through this work. Thank you, Joakim 🙏
