Coaching can be a lonely journey
Coaching is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world, but it can also be isolating.
When you’re the leader, who do you turn to for guidance?
Most coaches rely on a small circle of mentors or try to piece together strategies from books, podcasts, and the occasional clinic. But when it comes to real-time decision-making, building a championship culture, and leading under pressure, you’re often left figuring it out alone.
And that’s the problem, coaching isn’t meant to be a solo sport.
Even the best coaches in the world have a trusted inner circle, people they can lean on, learn from, and grow with.
But what if you had that, too?
The most impactful coaches know iron sharpens iron. And that’s exactly why we built The Arena
“Sherri has wisdom to share, energy to engage, a personality to connect, and the ability to make you feel capable. She is a person who has lived everything she talks about. messages will educate, engage and entertain the audience. Her stories will take you right there in the moment so that the lessons stick once you leave the event.

“My work with Coach Cupps was transformational for our basketball program at Pacific Grove High. Coach Cupps provided outstanding mentorship and a clear process in developing our core values and better defining our program culture. Any coach looking to improve, should strongly consider working with him. Coach Cupps is one of the best coaches in the United States in any sport, and more importantly, he is an outstanding leader who can help any athletic team or program.”

“I love the intentionality of the content and the conversations. I loved that that we went deep right out of the gate. It felt scary but also safe. I have never been part of a training that felt as real as this. I was forced to look in the mirror and be honest with myself and really make changes to the way I am living day to day. I can honestly say this was one of the most impactful trainings I have ever attended. It felt so normalizing but also empowering to sit in a room full of people who operate at a high level and are consistently seeking ways to better themselves. I felt seen and heard and that what I contributed mattered. That is rare to find and not something I have ever really experienced.”

“Ryan Hawk’s leadership circle has been a catalyst for personal growth, career growth, connection, and relationship building. This meetup has acted as a much-needed force of accountability to slow down, reflect, write, and discover new insights about myself, leadership, and business. Whatever your intention is for joining his leadership circle, I promise you will get the return you expected, plus growth in areas you hadn’t anticipated. Do it!”

“Elevating my network and learning from other high achievers has helped me build better relationships in and outside of the workplace. In the last year, I can attribute lessons from the group to helping me achieve greater than 50% growth in my business. Furthermore, the group dynamic helped me facilitate better discussions and focus at home, enabling me to be more present and making me (I hope) a better husband, father, sibling, and friend.”

“Ryan Hawk’s Learning Leader Circle has been a game-changer for my career. Since I joined Ryan’s circle, I’ve been promoted multiple times, including moving into my first leadership position. Ryan and the other amazing leaders in the group have been a great sounding board for all sorts of leadership challenges like hiring, retention, growth, and dealing with conflict. Ryan’s ability to attract great leaders and spark meaningful conversations are what make his Learning Leader Circles so valuable.”

“Working in a highly competitive environment, I was looking for a way to set myself apart. I applied to Ryan’s Learning Circle to help me gain an edge professionally. Instead, I gained far more. First, Ryan took the time to get to know me on a personal level. He then placed me in a Circle with some of the most impressive people I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. After just a few sessions, my whole way of thinking started and continues to evolve. I am learning to speak and act in terms of “we” not “me”. I am learning to approach life with gratitude. I have come to see those in my group as a personal board of advisors, and many have become good friends. Through our discussions and annual Summit, I have developed skills to gain clarity on what is important, and then to act thoughtfully and with purpose. While I will always be a work in progress, I am certain this group of new friends has made me a better person.”

“Our leadership circle meetings are experiences that go unmatched with anything else in my life. The biggest part is learning that we have so much within ourselves to catalyze massive potential, but we often don't know how to access it. This group is about learning how to unlock it, LIVE it & most importantly--sustain it. With the carefully crafted discussion points and the intentional people around us, it's like being invited to a machine that gives us the tools to harvest our own superpowers.””
