If your business stops moving the moment you step away, you don't own a company. You own a high-stress job you can't quit.
I help owners build the leaders and systems that change that.
You built this company to have a better life. Somewhere along the way, it started running you.
That's not a work-ethic problem. It's a leadership and systems problem. And it's fixable.
"His influence was so strong that we brought him on full-time to continue this work."
I work with owners and their leadership teams on whatever is actually in the way.
Stop being the bottleneck. Set the direction, hand off decisions with clear authority, and get your time back.
Build managers who think, decide, and own the outcome, so you're not the only one who cares.
Scorecards, meeting rhythms, and follow-through that hold up when you're not in the room.
Get the company ready to scale, run without you, or one day sell.
When Jim Work and I started working together in 2017, Silverthorne had four employees. Today they have more than 40 people, have grown revenue from $11M to $70M, and are still expanding. I still coach several of their managers.
"He doesn't just point out problems—he rolls up his sleeves and helps fix them."
Rusty Polley ran a division billing about $1.5 million a month. His goal was $2 million. Three years later, his division was billing over $4 million a month, with the highest margins in the company.
"Burk changed the way I run my business. I have the freedom to run my business as well as enjoy my life now. The best part is that I am developing my people in the process so they can be more successful also!"
I've worked with SES since 2015, building their systems, hiring, training, and a clear vision for where the company could go. When they lost an owner in tragic circumstances, and then COVID shut them down, we worked through it together and brought the company back to profitability.
Five days with your leadership team somewhere like Grand Cayman, Costa Rica, or Colorado. Two days of honest work on what's working, what isn't, and the plan. Two days of diving and adventure that build the kind of trust a conference room never will. One day to travel.
You come home with a plan, and a team that has been through something together.

"If you're serious about growing your business—or realize it's time for a course correction—Burk Moreland is the executive coach you want in your corner."
"His guidance has helped me build confidence, strengthen my leadership presence, and find my voice."
I've spent decades in construction as a builder, a subcontractor, and an owner. As Vice President at IES Residential, I was part of the leadership team that grew the company from about $200 million to over $1 billion, and I designed the training that developed its managers.
Today I coach owners and leadership teams in construction and other owner-led businesses. I've published two books, one on leadership and one a true story, and I'm writing my third. When I'm not working, I'm usually underwater, sailing a boat, flying a plane or just enjoying life.
Tell me what's going on. You'll get an honest conversation and a straight answer on whether I can help. If I'm not the right fit, I'll point you to someone who is.
