Mays Leadership Answers for High-Performing Executives
General & Philosophy
What is the one thing you are most focused on getting right today?
That’s the kind of question a great leader asks! For us, it’s delivering clarity and actionable strategy to our clients so they can lead themselves and their organizations with less friction and more purpose. We hope you are focused on something meaningful today as well!
What is the core philosophy behind Mays Leadership?
Our core philosophy is encapsulated in the phrase “Lead Yourself First.” Simply put, you cannot effectively lead a team or a business if you haven’t mastered leading yourself. Our programs focus on helping leaders build the internal clarity and discipline necessary to support the external demands of sustainable growth.
We’re hearing a lot about “neuroscience-backed methods.” How does that apply to leadership?
We believe that lasting change starts in the mind. Our methods leverage the latest in cognitive science to help you understand your decision-making biases, manage stress, and build high-performance habits. We don’t just teach what to do; we teach you how your brain works so you can lead with greater intention and less burnout.

What exactly is the Vision Mastery Playbook?
The Vision Mastery Playbook is our proprietary framework for transforming an ambitious idea into an achievable reality. It’s a comprehensive roadmap that guides leaders through clarifying their purpose, strategically aligning their teams, and establishing the scalable systems needed for sustainable, chaotic-free growth.
Does Mays Leadership offer coaching outside of West Michigan?
Absolutely! While we are proud of our deep roots in West Michigan (Rockford, Grand Rapids, Holland, Muskegon), we serve clients globally. We offer both tailored in-person coaching and highly effective virtual coaching to ensure you get the results you need, regardless of your location.
How do you help our team improve communication and accountability?
One of our most effective tools for creating alignment is the S.T.A.R. Team Framework. It’s a simple, proven system we integrate into organizations to enhance clarity, build trust, reduce costly friction, and ensure every team member is executing with ownership and precision.
Coaching Value
What does Dr. Kevin say about the difference between a business coach and a consultant?
We often say a consultant gives you the fish, but a coach teaches you to fish. While a consultant may provide a specific solution, Mays Leadership partners with you long-term to develop your fundamental leadership skills and implement strategies. We focus on accountability, mindset, and leadership presence—helping you build a business that works for you, not because of you.
What makes business coaching worth the investment?
Business owners are often juggling multiple roles and operating in the day-to-day chaos. A business coach provides a crucial outside perspective, strategic focus, and proven systems—helping you transition from working in the business to deliberately working on the business to scale without hitting a wall.
