Private Coaching

The work is
precise.
So is the result.

A 6-week private engagement designed to identify the internal picture limiting your performance — and rebuild it systematically from the inside out.

WORK
Tailored Leadership Experience™

This is not generic life coaching.

You're here because something in you knows there's a gap between who you are and how you've been showing up. That's not a problem. That's awareness — and awareness is exactly where this work begins.

Over six weeks, we're not going to work harder on the outside. We're going to look at what's been running things on the inside.

This program changes the picture. Not by force. Not by affirmations. By understanding how it was built — and then intentionally building a better one.

“You don't rise to your goals, you fall to your self-image.”

— Dr. Alfred E. Smith

How This Works

Every week has the same shape.
Predictable structure frees your mind for unpredictable inner work.

01

Read

Weekly reading arrives before the session. Read it. Bring something that hit you.

02

Session

60 minutes. Not a lecture — applying what you read to what you're actually living.

03

Assign

3–5 specific assignments after each session. These are the reps that build the new picture.

04

Practice

2–3 short prompts between sessions to keep you in the work between calls.

05

Reflect

Weekly questions to sit with. Not homework. Invitations.

Six Weeks at a Glance

Each week builds on the last.
The sequence is the strategy.

1
The Reveal
Self-Image Diagnostic & Awareness
You're not fixing anything yet — you're starting to see. Complete the Diagnostic. 48-hour observation. Name one pattern you've repeated for years.
When do you feel most like yourself?
2
The Wiring
DISC + Identity Lens
This week we learn how you're built — not to box you in, but to set you free. Full DISC debrief. Connect your wiring to your self-image patterns from Week 1.
Where are you working against how you're naturally wired?
3
The Voice
Inner Critic & Beliefs
There's a voice behind the patterns. This week we start to hear it. Name your inner critic — not your own name — and begin separating yourself from the script it runs.
Whose voice does your inner critic most sound like?
4
Reprogramming
Three Architects + Future Self
You didn't choose the original picture. But you can choose what gets built next. Map who shaped your self-image. Write 5 sentences about who your future self IS.
What belief have you carried so long it feels like a fact — but might just be a conclusion?
5
Aligned Action
Self-Leadership in Motion
Awareness without action is just interesting. This week it moves. One intentional action daily your old self would have avoided. Identify one area where you've been waiting — and lead it.
What would you do differently if you fully trusted yourself?
6
Expansion
Integration & Identity Locked In
You don't arrive. You expand. Write your 3 personal Identity Installs. Build your 30-day continuation plan. Lock in what has changed.
Who are you now compared to who walked into Week 1?
What's Included

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

01

Full Identity Profile

Self-Image Diagnostic + DISC Assessment. Two lenses. One complete picture of how you're wired and where your self-image is limiting your results.

02

6 Private Sessions — 60 Min

One focused session per week. Each builds directly on the prior. Real-time application to your life and leadership.

03

Weekly Reading Assignments

From Dr. Smith's own books — The Self-Image Method™, You Are Not Difficult. You Are Wired., and Oh, I'm Leading Now. Books are yours to keep.

04

3–5 Action Assignments

Specific, structured tasks after each session. The reps that actually build the new picture.

05

Your Personalized Identity Install

One custom Identity Install built specifically from your DISC profile and your lowest diagnostic dimension. Yours to keep and use after the program ends.

06

Between-Session Support

Automated check-ins, touchpoints, and reflection prompts keep you in the work between sessions — not just during them.

What to Expect from Dr. A

Not a cheerleader. A mirror.

I'm not here to tell you everything is fine. I'm here to see you clearly and hold that picture for you until you can hold it yourself.

I'll push when pushing is what's needed. I'll back off when silence is more useful than another question. I'll be honest in ways that may feel uncomfortable. That's not a bug. That's the service.

You'll occasionally hear scripture — not as devotional, but as wisdom literature. When Proverbs says "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he," that's not theology. That's neuroscience written 3,000 years early.

“The fact that you're noticing is already change.”

— Dr. Alfred E. Smith

Standalone Option

DISC Assessment +
X-Ray Insight Session

DISC reveals your behavioral wiring — how you naturally act, how you respond under pressure, and the gap between who you naturally are and who the world asks you to be.

The X-Ray session translates your results into something immediately actionable.
