Private, faith-integrated executive coaching for leaders who are successful on paper but misaligned inside. Six to eighteen months of focused one-on-one work with Seth Schmidt that trades fear for truth and turns it into bold, aligned action.

You've built a career, a company, a reputation. But if you're honest, much of it has been driven by pressure, fear, or the need to prove. You sense there's a deeper way to lead, one that flows from your true identity instead of your false self.
FORTIV 1-1 coaching is a high-accountability partnership. Together we get clear on what you truly want, explore what you're capable of, name what's getting in the way, and build the tools, strategy, and beliefs to move forward with courage and conviction.
We go after the strategy and performance questions too. The difference is where we start: your identity.

Fear is subtle. It shows up as perfectionism, control, overachievement, or burnout. It can look like success from the outside and still leave you misaligned, exhausted, and wondering what's next.
Every engagement is guided by a simple, proven framework. We move through it again and again as new ground opens up.
Executive coaching is a high-accountability partnership designed to help you get clear on what you truly want, explore what you're capable of, identify what's getting in the way, and build the tools, strategy, and belief systems to move forward with courage and conviction.
At FORTIV, coaching isn't only about productivity or performance. It's about leading from your true identity instead of from survival: fear, pressure, or the need for outside approval.
Entrepreneurs, CEOs, executives, business owners, and high-capacity leaders who want to explore what they're capable of and create results they never thought possible. They also want to become stronger, more courageous leaders, healthier spouses, better fathers, and more integrated men.
No. FORTIV uses Jesus' teachings and God's wisdom as the plumb line for the most effective and powerful model of leadership, and Seth coaches leaders from all spiritual backgrounds. He meets people where they are.
Pricing is discussed on a discovery call. The men who get the most from FORTIV treat the investment as leverage to create the most value possible, and they consistently describe it as one of the highest-return investments they've made: in their business, their marriage, their fatherhood, and their faith.
Apply for a free exploratory call. Seth will ask you honest questions and give you honest answers. If 1-1 coaching is the right move for this season, you'll both know it.
Seth, you turned what typically is shame into a discussion of growth and exploration of my thought processes. In the end there was a sense of growth and, more importantly, a path laid out before me.
I left feeling very clear about what needs to shift in my mentality to start getting different results, and making keeping commitments a natural part of my operation.
The hard part is addressing things and doing something about it. When I do something about it, it removes the weight of doing nothing and still having it hang over my head.

Seth has spent eight years and thousands of hours coaching CEOs, founders, and their teams, six of them inside Novus Global, one of the world's premier executive coaching firms. FORTIV is the next chapter: everything he learned, built on the conviction that identity is the foundation of every real breakthrough.
Every FORTIV engagement begins with a free, no-pressure exploratory call.
