Boss BrainTM

Know before you go

Think like your boss. Be the boss your people need.

Boss Brain is a leadership coaching app for anyone who leads, with or without the title. Anticipate what your boss will ask, plan what to say to your people, and walk into the conversations that matter prepared.

Two sides of the table

Whether you work for a boss or you are one.

Working for a boss

Think like your boss.

  • Prep: get ready for a meeting with your boss, including the questions they're likely to ask.
  • People: keep a profile of your boss: what matters to them, how they like to hear things, what success looks like to them.
  • Straight Talk: plan exactly what to say when you take something to your boss.
  • Note to my boss: a short update with your results, priorities and the decisions you need.

Being the boss

Be the boss your people need.

  • 1:1: plan, run and debrief one-on-ones that move people forward.
  • Recognize: turn what you noticed into recognition that lands.
  • Straight Talk: plan the hard conversations, from feedback to tough news.
  • Employee Blueprint™: understand what motivates each person and how to coach them.

Growing from one into the other? The habits you build preparing for your boss are the ones your own team will count on, and My Growth Journey tracks your leadership growth as you go.

Think it through

Get clear before you walk in.

Three tools for the minutes before a meeting and the minutes after it.

  • Prepare for what's next

    Prep

    Tell Boss Brain what you're walking into: a meeting, a presentation, a tough message. You get a brief, the questions you'll likely be asked, and what would sharpen it.

  • Reflect and capture

    Debrief

    Afterward, note what happened, how it compared with what you expected, and what was agreed, so commitments carry forward instead of slipping.

  • What's my best move?

    Gut Check

    Something sitting with you: a comment, a look, a pattern? Get a candid read before you decide what to do, or whether to do anything at all.

Say it right

The right words, for the right person.

Recognition, one-on-ones and hard conversations, each built on a framework you can use again and again.

  • Recognition Planner™

    Recognize

    Turn a moment you noticed into recognition that lands. Before you deliver it, the Recognition Wheel checks six things, from what they did and why it mattered to timing and what's next.

  • One-on-One Accelerator™

    1:1

    Plan a one-on-one with someone on your team that moves the person forward, not just the work. Run it with a timed agenda, then debrief. Boss Brain remembers open commitments, and before the next one it suggests what to cover from your recent notes.

  • Conversation Compass™

    Straight Talk

    Pick the right kind of conversation, from feedback for your team to bad news for your boss, and plan exactly what to say before you have it. Right talk, right way.

And more

  • Leadership growth guidesShort guides across the areas of leadership: what strong looks like, the moves, and how to coach it.
  • Coaching TipsThe coaching from your Preps, Gut Checks and Debriefs, collected into your own cheat sheet — so you never have to dig back through old sessions to find it.
  • Weekly briefA short summary on Home each week of what's coming up and what's still open.
  • DictationTalk instead of type in Prep, Gut Check and Debrief.
