For executive coaches with their own method
Between sessions, the insight fades and the hard conversation arrives anyway. Sage gives your clients somewhere to rehearse it: the board member who pushes back, the report who needs hard feedback, the peer who wants their budget. It plays the other side the way the real person would, and scores every session on your framework.
You’ll talk to me directly. I’ve spent close to thirty years leading teams across the US, Europe and Asia, and the conversations that mattered most were the ones I never got to rehearse. Send me one piece of your method when you book, and you’ll watch it run on the call.Sumanta Chakraborty · Founder & CEO, nSpire AI
Their practice week, on your method.
How they practice
Fifteen minutes against the person they’re actually dreading, on the weeks you’re not there.
After every session
Scored on your framework, in your feedback format: what landed, what the room would have punished, and what to work on next.
Setup
Built from the frameworks, models and exercises you already use. You approve everything before a client sees it.
Your client leaves with the insight and a plan. Two weeks later they’re in the room, under pressure, and back on old habits. Nobody rehearsed the actual moment.
Every new client and every leadership-team engagement costs hours you don’t have. Sage carries your framework into the weeks between sessions, so your time goes to the coaching only you can do.
Whoever pays for the engagement, often the CEO or CHRO, wants more than “it’s going well.” Show who practiced, on which conversations, and which habits stopped recurring.
In her words
“When I read the feedback that nSpire gives my students, it mirrors almost exactly what I would have given them — if I had the time to spend that quality one-on-one observation.”

Anyone can build
Every client can build practice for the conversation in front of them, in minutes. You set the framework once. They bring their real situations, so the practice keeps happening between your sessions.
A new COO drops in Thursday’s board deck and rehearses the reorg question she knows is coming.
A first-time VP takes your hard-feedback exercise and adapts it to the senior leader who has missed three deadlines.
A founder describes the co-founder conversation he’s been putting off, and Sage builds it.
Whatever they build still uses your framework and your feedback template.
Why I reached out
“After close to thirty years of leading teams, I’ve seen how much rides on conversations nobody rehearses. I’m testing whether practice like this is useful for executive coaches and the leaders they work with. If it isn’t for you, tap . That helps me as much as a booked call.”

How it works
Your frameworks, models and exercises, plus each client’s context: their role, their stakeholders, the conversations they keep avoiding. We build it with you, and nothing goes live until you’ve signed off. Clients can also build their own from a document, a template or a conversation with Sage.
The board member who backed the old plan, the direct report who takes feedback personally, the peer who wants your client’s budget. Voice or video, fifteen minutes, any time between sessions.
Every session scored on your framework. Who’s practicing, on which conversations, and whether the same habit keeps showing up, without watching a single recording. You walk into the next session knowing where to start.
Early access
Executive coaches and coaching firms who want to give clients something between sessions, and help shape it while it’s early.
Built on your framework, ready for your first client in 72 hours.
Set with you on the call, built to fold into how you price engagements, and kept as you grow.
To the people building it. What you ask for shapes what we build next.
What we ask in return: use it with at least one client, and tell us honestly what works and what doesn’t.
Questions
You do, entirely. Your material is used only to build your scenarios and feedback. It isn’t shared across accounts, other coaches never see it, and nSpire doesn’t train its AI models on it.
No. It’s the practice your clients do between sessions, the part you were never going to be in the room for anyway. You still run the sessions and own the relationship. Sage is your method holding the line in between.
It doesn’t guess at it. We build your scenarios, personas and feedback with you from what you already use: your frameworks, assessments and exercises. You review and approve everything before a client sees it.
Yes, three ways. Start from a document, like a board deck or a 360 summary. Adapt one of your exercises. Or describe the conversation to Sage and build it from scratch. They’re practicing within minutes, on your framework.
Yes. Each track and module can carry its own framework and feedback template. If you want every client’s feedback in the same format you use in session, that’s a setting, not a project.
Sessions are private by default, so a client can get it wrong without an audience. What rolls up to you is practice and progress, not recordings, and what a sponsor sees is up to you. Your clients’ material, recordings and scores stay theirs and yours, with access limited to the people you grant it to.
Yes. Build a track once and give it to a leadership team or a cohort, with the same framework and feedback for everyone. Each leader can still build practice for their own situation.
Most practice tools get ignored because the practice is generic. Here the client rehearses the conversation they’re actually having this week, which is the reason they come back. Fifteen minutes, whenever it suits them.
ChatGPT will play a board member, but it stays agreeable, doesn’t know your framework, and doesn’t give feedback the way you do. Your clients could do that today without you. This is your method doing the pushing back, which is the difference between a chat and a rehearsal, and the reason it’s yours to offer.
We’re setting pricing with a small group of founding coaching partners now. One option is to fold it into the engagement as a between-sessions layer the client pays for, rather than a software line on your own P&L. We’ll work through the model that fits how you price on the call.
nSpire is SOC 2, ISO and GDPR compliant, and doesn’t train models on customer data.
Three signals show up first: who practices without being told, which conversations they keep coming back to, and whether the same habit stops recurring. You’ll see all three within the first two weeks, and they’re what a sponsor wants to hear about too.
Anything else, bring it to the call.
Thirty minutes with SumantaOn the call we take one piece of your coaching, the framework your clients find hardest to apply or the conversation they keep avoiding, and put it in front of the AI while you watch. You’ll know inside thirty minutes whether it sounds like your method or a chatbot wearing it.
Pick a time for 30 minutes with me, then answer three quick questions so I can build it from your material before we meet.
