Leadership Coaching for Founders in the age of AI
Still trying to do it all yourself? No wonder you’re exhausted.
Great coaches don’t play the game. They design it.
Syncity helps founders make that shift: from player to head coach to AI-powered leader.
Still Playing Every Position?
You built something great. But now it’s running you.
More clients. Bigger team. More noise.
You’re still solving every problem, making every decision, working every weekend.
Take a day off and everything stops.
Your inbox hits 200. A client escalates. Your team waits for answers. That's not leadership, that's survival. And it’s killing your growth.
LEADERSHIP HAS CHANGED
The New Leadership Playbook: Build Your AI Backroom Team
Elite sports teams don't just have a head coach. They have data analysts spotting patterns. Scouts finding opportunities. Performance coaches optimising the team.
AI gives founders that same advantage if they know how to lead it.
Not to automate emails. To surface insights you'd miss. To test strategies faster. To make you smarter, sharper, more strategic.
That's modern leadership coaching for founders and most haven't figured it out yet.
THE SHIFT
From Player → Coach → Visionary Leader
You don’t become a CEO by doing more, you do it by leading differently.
Syncity Ascend helps you make the mindset shift from execution to elevation, from doing the work to designing how the work gets done.
And in the AI era, it’s about using data and intelligent tools to see what others can’t and act before they do.
THE SYSTEM
Syncity Ascend: Leadership Coaching That Builds AI-Ready Leaders
9 weeks. 3 stages. One shift: from overwhelmed founder to strategic leader.
This isn't leadership therapy. It's a nine-week competitive transformation programme for founders ready to scale, built for the AI era.
Each week, you’ll move through our proven 3-stage model:
Mindset (Unburden): Let go of the noise, focus on what matters, and start leading like a coach.
Structure (Align): Build rhythm, trust, and a strategy your team can actually follow.
Leverage (Build Momentum): Use data and AI insights to create scalable systems that run without you.
No fluff. No theory. Just structure, clarity, and results.
WHAT YOU’LL GAIN
Results You Can Feel:
✅ Your team delivers without you checking every detail.
✅ You make strategic, data-informed decisions, not reactive ones.
✅ You build a business that moves even when you take a week off.
✅ You lead with confidence, supported by AI, not buried by it.
THE COST OF DOING NOTHING
Every Month You Stay Stuck Costs You More:
🚫 More stress: you’re still firefighting daily problems
🚫 Slower growth: while AI-savvy competitors pull six months ahead .
🚫 Lost talent: your best hires won’t wait for clarity.
🚫 Burnout: how many weekends before you break?
This isn’t about working harder.
It’s about evolving faster.
Not Another Corporate Coaching Programme
Most leadership coaching is designed for managers, not founders.
Syncity Ascend is built for leaders who want to win.
It’s competitive. It’s structured. It’s intensive. It’s future-focused.
You'll be pushed. You'll be challenged. You'll evolve.
This isn’t another course it’s the arena where leaders evolve.
The only leadership coaching programme built for the AI era.
Meet Your Leadership Coach
I’m Richard. I've Built the Systems and I've Seen What's Coming.
Over 15 years, I've led digital transformation across industries, studied how elite sports teams stay ahead, and now help founders navigate the biggest shift in leadership: AI.
I've watched leaders who resist change get left behind. And I've watched others use AI like a backroom team and 10x their strategic capacity."
That’s why I built Syncity: to help founders lead smarter, faster, and braver, with structure, data, and now, AI.
Leadership isn’t about doing more.
It’s about using everything, including AI, to think two steps ahead, trust your team, and build the system that wins.
If you’re serious about leading in the age of AI, let’s start your ascent.
