Leadership development, executive coaching and organizational health for Northern Virginia business owners. Based in Loudoun County. In-person sessions across NoVA. Remote anywhere.
Most Northern Virginia business coaches work with federal contractors or the DC consulting class. If your company is not on the Beltway and not in a SCIF, that is a different conversation. We have it.
Ted Williamson is a Professional EOS® Implementer and business coach based in Loudoun County. He works with second-stage companies across the region, in person and remotely. We help owners get clear on vision, build accountable leadership teams and run a healthier business.
If your company has grown past what duct tape and long hours can hold together, it is time for a different conversation.
Built for Northern Virginia Business Owners
Our clients tend to look like this:
- Second-stage companies, typically ten to one hundred employees
- Owners who built something and are ready to lead it differently
- Leadership teams that want alignment, accountability and a scoreboard they can actually see
- Industries including construction, trades, manufacturing, professional services, family-owned businesses and operations-heavy companies
Where we work. Our strongest in-person presence is Loudoun County: Leesburg, Ashburn, Sterling, Purcellville, Middleburg and Chantilly. We also serve Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Clarke and Culpeper counties. For Northern Virginia companies with leadership teams in other cities, we work remotely. All full EOS® engagements run in person.
Three Ways We Help
- Business coaching and leadership development. One-on-one and team-level coaching for owners and leadership teams. Get clear on vision. Build a leadership team that owns the work. Solve the people problems before they become the business problems.
- Organizational health. Teams do not get sick overnight. They get sick one unmet expectation at a time. We help you build the rhythms, habits and conversations that keep a team healthy long-term.
- Professional EOS® Implementer services. Ted is a Professional EOS® Implementer. For full information on the EOS® process and how a Ted-led engagement works, visit his EOS Worldwide® microsite at https://www.eosworldwide.com/ted-williamson.
Local Coach. On-Site Sessions. Real Results.
The coaching industry is saturated with people who have never run a real business. We have. Ted spent nearly thirty years at Caterpillar before building his coaching practice. He knows what a leadership team looks like when it works, and what one looks like when it is falling apart. He is also based in Loudoun County, which means in-person sessions are a real option, not a travel expense.
Most of all: he speaks the language. Not the coaching industry language. Not the DC consulting language. The language of people who actually run businesses, not just advise on them.
Regional In-Person. National Virtual.
In-person work concentrates in three regions: Northern Virginia, the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia and Western Maryland. Ted lives and works in Loudoun County, which makes NoVA our home turf. Virtual engagements run nationwide. Clients from other states work with us on Zoom and by phone, with periodic in-person sessions if the engagement warrants travel.
If you are in Northern Virginia and your leadership team has grown past a clean hierarchy, we should talk. The bigger the team, the more it costs to run it on instinct.
We Also Offer
- Leadership development programs for new managers and seasoned teams
- Gen Z workshops that bridge the generational gap from both sides
- Mentor program design for companies serious about developing their people
- Workshop facilitation for leadership retreats and off-sites
Start With a 90-Minute Meeting. It Is Free.
The 90-Minute Meeting is the front door. You bring your leadership team (or come solo if you are early-stage). We walk you through how we work, whether it is a fit and what it would look like to engage. No sales pitch. No pressure. If it is not a fit, you will know, and so will we.
