ManagerGPT: The AI Tools and Human Systems to Scale Yourself and Your Team Fast

Jack Cohen

Founder & Executive Coach

Spend your days fighting fires or each other?

What if you felt on top of everything instead?

What if your team was aligned and motivated to execute?

ManagerGPT offers the playbook and AI tools taught to 500+ founders, execs, and managers to shift from stressed and overwhelmed to Clear Focus & Emotional Balance.

HERE'S THE CHALLENGE

Your days are filled with:

🗓️ back-to-back meetings,
🔴 endless Slack messages,
🚀 sky-high customer or investor expectations,
⏱️ wishes that you and your team could move faster and work on what matters.

🔥 Prioritizing sounds nice, but you always end up fighting fires. 🔥

✨ You wonder if AI can help, you wonder how other leaders are using AI to manage it all—but honestly, who's got the time to figure that out? ⏳

As you try to move faster, people fall short of expectations and potential, creating friction and frustration.

THE SOLUTION

By Week 2, you’ll have built your Operating System (mindsets, habits, and tools like custom GPTs & AI Copilot) to shift from reacting to constant inputs to creating what matters most and leading your team in that direction.

Then we apply this interpersonally, using tools like FeedbackGPT and the GAIN framework so you feel calm, confident, and effective in every interaction.

Success stories

  • "I think the effects of my coaching with Jack increased our Series B valuation by $100 million…but I truly believe the increase in productivity for me as a founder has been the lesser of the outcomes that I've gotten from Jack. I think it's made me a better person and better in my relationship. I've had a number of friends who've told me, ‘You seem much calmer and more equanimous.’ Definitely, my happiness has gone up."
