Almost every twelve-step program has adopted some variation of the twelve traditions of alcoholics anonymous. Anonymity in our work means at the level of press, radio, films, and the internet. We don’t promote ourselves personally on social media or on our site or give interviews to prioritize principles over personalities. We will never share the specific details of your coaching. Once we match you with a coach, you’ll know their name, background, and story - and they’ll need to know yours. This is a relationship of mutual trust, but we ask that all engagements start with signing a mutual NDA to ensure confidentiality.

No. We firmly believe that sponsorship is a core foundation of AA, NA, Al-Anon, and other twelve-step programs. We are not paid sponsors (no sponsor should ever be paid), but we are work coaches who help people in recovery with their professional development, transforming how they work with teams and turning around work performance due to recovery-related issues.

Yes, you should absolutely call your sponsor. Like right now. We’re not here to replace sponsorship or professionals of any kind. We’re people in recovery just like you who are available to help untangle, work through, and bring spiritual principles to your specific work situations.

Yes. Since we are professional coaches working with other professionals and organizations, we charge for our services. Our professional work is commercial - our personal recovery is separate and entirely non-professional. In selling coaching services, we’re doing what we’ve done in our work lives: coaching career development, personal work turnarounds, team building, and conflict resolution.

For corporations, we charge rates similar to other professional coaching engagements. However, we work on a sliding scale model for individuals hiring us independently. If you’re in a tight spot, we can work with you.

Yes, in that we charge for our coaching services. But no, in that, we’re not people who just coach others as our profession. We are not certified with any organization and only represent our personal experience. We’re executives, entrepreneurs, artists,, writers, practitioners, and everyday managers who have experience turning around our work lives in the face of alcoholism and addiction. People just like you who have hit bottom but who have experience bringing 12-step recovery into our work. What we offer experience applying recovery and the 12-steps (and traditions) into your work life.

We don’t replace sponsorship (yes, you need one); we help you with specifics at work that is outside the normal role of sponsorship. The specifics of negotiations, career planning, performance reviews, stakeholder communications, team design, and more. These are work specific topics that we've found to be fertile ground for our fears and defects. We’re firm believers in the 12 traditions and that 12 step programs should “remain forever non-professional.” We’re not here to sell anyone recovery, we’re here to help you with work as experts and seasoned managers - we just happen to have a lot of experience with bringing spiritual practices and recovery into the workplace. For example, how does your fear of financial insecurity impact how you’re designing your organization? How do you have a hard conversation with your boss about budgets?
