A colleague worth confiding in
Colleague is a persona you build to talk about the day at work, get advice on tough challenges, and get honest feedback on what you're working on.
Professional when you need it. Personal when you don't.
Specialists waiting inside

"Great organizations grow when people grow."
"Marketing works best when it feels like truth, not persuasion."

"Honest numbers lead to honest decisions."

"Most people use AI like a search engine. The real advantage comes when it becomes part of your workflow."

"The right decision usually becomes clear once the right questions are asked."
Or design your own — name, tone, expertise.
What lives inside
Decompress with a colleague who actually listens, asks the right follow-ups, and remembers what you shared.
Tap HR, Marketing, Finance, Ops or Sales personas — or build your own — for grounded, practical guidance.
Paste a doc, deck note, or message draft and get structured feedback: strengths, concerns, next steps.
A quiet mood signal across your check-ins helps you see when work weeks are working — and when they aren't.

A note from Jim, who built Colleague
Over 10,000 hours coaching more than 300 CEOs taught me one thing: most people don't get access to a great coach on the day they actually need one.
I've had the privilege of building programs and content alongside people like Tony Hsieh, Chip Conley, Marshall Goldsmith, and Jack Stack. Three times my peers at Vistage named me Speaker of the Year — US, UK, and Worldwide. My book, CEO Tools 2.0, distills two decades of these frameworks — and Colleague brings them to life, on demand.
This is my attempt to make that kind of coaching available to everyone, on the days it matters.
