Two Games Worth Naming

The Hidden Game

Your business is run by agreements nobody ever made out loud.

Your Hidden Game book cover

"A must-read. Sharon's ten agreements bring out high-performance teamwork." — Marshall Goldsmith, #1 NYT bestselling author

Underneath the org chart, there's a second set of rules — how decisions actually get made, who really gets heard, what gets rewarded versus what just gets tolerated. Most leaders spend years managing around these patterns without ever naming them out loud.

Your Hidden Game lays out ten invisible agreements that can make or break your business — and how to see them clearly enough to change them.

Leadership Trauma

Leadership trauma is making your decisions.

Every leader walks into every room with their entire history running quietly in the background — old lessons about what works, old survival strategies, old fears — all shaping today's decisions. And nobody is talking about it.

My next book, Leadership Trauma: The Unrecognized Crisis at the Heart of Our Culture, takes that on directly: how leadership trauma shows up in the way we lead, and what it takes to lead from somewhere more whole. I'm writing about it in real time on Substack — come along.

ICF-Certified Coach

  • Executive & Leadership Coach
  • Business Consultant & Facilitator
  • Author, Your Hidden Game
    Ten Invisible Agreements That Can Make or Break Your Business
  • Working Nationally via Zoom

Sharon Rich has spent more than two decades working with leaders in the places most consultants never get invited — the decisions that keep them up at night, the dynamics quietly undermining their teams, and the invisible forces driving outcomes they can't quite explain.

Since 2005, she's facilitated the kind of honest, high-stakes conversations that move organizations forward — coaching hundreds of leaders across industries including healthcare, tech, and professional services. Since 2016, she's also brought an interactive team experience to leaders ready to move past surface-level solutions. As an ICF-certified coach, she combines direct, practical guidance with a real understanding of how people and businesses operate under pressure.

She's the author of Your Hidden Game and is currently writing Leadership Trauma: The Unrecognized Crisis at the Heart of Our Culture — addressing something the business world has barely begun to name: the quiet cost of decades at the top, and what it takes to lead from wholeness rather than habit.
