For coaches navigating leadership and loss—and the people who support them.
Leadership is heavy.
But that doesn’t mean you have to carry it alone.
A place for what you’re carrying, what you need to handle, and the people supporting you.
Where would you like to begin?

A coach can be leading others while living through the same loss. Coach Crisis makes room for that experience and for meaningful support around the coach.
Research-informed. Grounded in lived experience. Built with care.
Founded by Brooke Brittain, Coach Crisis brings together doctoral research on coaches leading through violent loss and her lived experience as an educator and an operations sergeant in a combat zone.
