Second Mountain Path

Group Coaching

A four-month guided cohort for men ready

to clarify their Second Mountain vision

and face what’s getting in the way.

You Don’t Climb the

Second Mountain Alone

You may already know what the Second Mountain is calling out of you.

The question is whether you will walk it alone — or inside a trusted group of men who can witness your vision, challenge your patterns, and hold you to your next commitment.

This four-month cohort combines guided coaching, peer accountability, hot-seat work, and private support to help you clarify your five-year vision and move toward it with integrity.

For men ready to turn reflection into commitment.

Fall 2026 Cohort

Lead Coach: Mark Guay

Each hour-long session will contain a focus topic, one-to-one breakout rooms, and time for 1-2 men to step into hot-seat coaching, guided by an expert coach. Each person will have two chances to be in the hot seat. Between each session, you will be asked to meet with one other group member for a 20-min accountability call.

Spots are limited to keep the group small. The program begins September 11, 2026. We meet online on Zoom.

What You'll Gain

In our four months together, you'll:

  • Build a five-year vision that lights you up and gets you excited to get to work every day

  • Identify exactly what's getting in your own way and develop the tools to move through it

  • Make a public commitment to the next chapter of your life, witnessed by people who know what it took to get here

  • Walk away with a peer group of men who understand the terrain you're navigating

✽ Live Group Coaching

Eight 60-minute sessions, held every other Friday, with guided teaching, reflection, breakout work, and hot-seat coaching inside a committed group of men.

✽ Private 1:1 Support

Two individual coaching sessions with the lead coach to help you deepen the work, personalize your next steps, and move through what needs focused attention.

✽ Self-Guided Course Access

You’ll receive access to the Second Mountain Path course so you can continue the work between sessions with structure, prompts, and guided reflection.

✽ Peer Accountability

Between sessions, you’ll stay connected through partner check-ins and a private Signal group designed for honest support, reflection, and follow-through.

✽ Founders Community Access

As part of this cohort, you’ll receive founding member access to the Second Mountain community launching in 2027.

SESSION BREAKDOWN

  • Opening, container agreements, and framing.

    We establish the foundation, the commitments, and the shared language for the work ahead.

  • Creating the Five-Year Vision.

    You’ll integrate your core values to design a vision that pulls you forward rather than one you feel obligated to achieve.

  • Owning Your Strengths and Limiting Your Derailers.

    You'll gain a clear-eyed picture of what makes you effective and what has been quietly working against you.

  • Getting Out of Your Own Way.

    The patterns, fears, and blind spots that keep high-achieving men looping. We name them, examine them, and develop concrete strategies to move through them.

  • Closing and Commitment Declaration.

    You'll declare your next steps out loud, in front of a group of men that has walked this with you.

NEXT STEPS

Start with answering a few questions. You’ll then be asked to meet online for a  20-minute intake call. You’ll talk with one of the certified guides on our team about where you are, what you're after, and whether this group is the right fit.

What Founders Are Saying

Clayton Connolly

“Mark’s facilitation brought depth and clarity—we didn’t just talk, we uncovered real breakthroughs that transformed how I lead my family and business.”
