Who We Are

BecomeSharp Business is a leadership and management training system designed to help startups and established corporations benefit from battle-tested leadership and management principles used and developed by the U.S. Marines. In today's ultra-competitive startup culture, entrepreneurs often think of leadership and company culture as an afterthought -- something to consider when the fires are put out. But what they don't realize is that oftentimes, the fires are themselves caused by this lack of leadership.

In the Marine Corps, leadership is taught before technical and tactical skill. It is a trait that is ingrained in the very fabric of our culture and value system. As a result, teenage boys, many of whom haven't even begun to grow facial hair, are entrusted with matters of national security and with the lives and welfare of dozens of their fellow Marines. Even among the other branches of the U.S. Military, the Marines are widely known for their competency and leadership prowess among their junior ranks. 

For over 240 years, this elite leadership training was open to only those select few who joined the ranks of The Few, The Proud. 

Until now.

What We Can Do for You
One-on-One Consulting & Coaching

Group coaching is rarely effective. By its very nature, it lacks the individual time necessary to enact meaningful change. All of our coaching is done one-on-one in order to customize the curriculum for maximum results.

family > team

How do you get thousands of people to come out of a 13-week boot camp and suddenly be willing to take a bullet for their fellow Marines? By building a team that feels more like a family than co-workers. There's a method to the madness and we show you how.

dodging the turnover bullet

The "turnover bullet" is the tech and startup industry's ridiculous 3-year-or-less turnover rate. It costs the industry millions every year and can ruin startups that have invested heavily into training employees, only to have them jump ship after a few years. We show you proven ways to retain quality people, even if you can't afford to compete with google and netflix compensation.

solving scale issues... before they happen

The qualities that make startups successful often begin to work against them as they scale and grow. Most people will try in vain to fix these issues after they've already caused problems. We prefer to prevent them from happening in the first place.

how to motivate your employees

Most organizations try to motivate their people through punishment or with monetary rewards. These are statistically poor motivators. Money in particular suffers from diminishing marginal utility. We will show you the alternatives that motivate people 1000% better than money or financial perks. And even better, it's difficult for your competitors to replicate.

creating a successful company culture

Creating an amazing company culture improves morale, skyrockets productivity, increases loyalty, and minimizes the need to micromanage. It is one of the biggest advantages an organization can have and is the root concept responsible for many of the accomplishments and accolades the Marine Corps has enjoyed throughout the years. We focus heavily on improving company culture because of the far-reaching effects it tends to have on the entire organization.
