About Trish Calhoun | The Anti-Coach
Who I Am (And Why It Matters to You)
I’m not here to give you feel-good advice, and I don’t believe in leadership for leadership’s sake. I help high-performing executives, founders, and teams cut through their own noise and make the hard decisions that drive real impact.
For over 15 years, I’ve been the one leaders call when they’re ready to face the truth—about themselves, their organizations, and what’s holding them back. I’ve worked with businesses at every stage, from Fortune 20 executives navigating transformation to ambitious founders scaling fast but feeling stuck.
I don’t coach. I challenge. I disrupt. I hold up the mirror and help you see what others won’t tell you.
If you’re looking for comfort, look elsewhere.
If you’re ready for brutal clarity, you’re in the right place.
What Makes Me Different?
✔️ Unfiltered Truth – I don’t tell you what you want to hear. I tell you what you need to know.
✔️ Real-World Strategy – No vague concepts. Just practical, direct solutions.
✔️ High-Stakes Decision-Making – Helping leaders move from uncertainty to action.
✔️ No Hand-Holding – You don’t need another “coach.” You need a true advisor.
Who I Work With
I work exclusively with leaders who thrive on challenge and don’t have time for fluff.
My clients include:
🔹 Executives who need a high-level strategic partner to navigate change.
🔹 Founders scaling their companies and facing critical leadership decisions.
🔹 Organizations undergoing transformation and needing honest operational insights.
This isn’t about motivation. It’s about execution, impact, and clarity.
My Approach
I believe leadership is about decisiveness, adaptability, and owning your blind spots.
🔹 The Hard Truths First – We start by cutting through assumptions and getting to the real issue.
🔹 Disrupt the Default – If something isn’t working, I challenge it. No excuses.
🔹 Action Over Analysis – Strategy is nothing without execution. You’ll leave with a clear, actionable plan.
Ready for Brutal Clarity? Let’s Talk.
If you’re an executive, founder, or leader who values truth over comfort and action over theory, I invite you to explore how we can work together.
