Meet JB bolton

Executive coach, business coach, former c-level guy

After two decades leading in SaaS and tech, I’ve experienced what works—and what keeps leaders stuck. I help executive and emerging leaders unlock fresh momentum, gain strategic clarity, and step into their next level with confidence and measurable results.

It can feel unsettling when you get stuck or lose your vision for the future, but I believe you’ve got what it takes. Many times, the best version of you isn’t revealed by adding something more, but by removing the parts that aren’t serving you.

We work to unstick the stuck, sharpen skills and focus, rack up tangible results, and supercharge growth.

with a coach who’s been there

My business is built and tested. (The coaching industry isn’t always that way.) You’re not a guinea pig. I’m a certified Business Made Simple Coach, Unreasonable Hospitality Certified Coach, and a Small Business Flight Plan Certified Coach, and positive guy.

I coach leaders through personal and professional inflection points—where clarity is murky and pressure is high. Whether you’re facing a complex decision, a people problem, or a ceiling you can’t quite name, coaching helps you find traction.

you don’t need another framework. you need forward motion.
