The name Motus – Latin for movement – captures our belief that progress is rooted in forward momentum. The number 9, often seen as sacred, symbolizes completion and fulfillment. Here at Motus9, we help leaders move in the direction of completion and fulfillment. Together, these elements define our purpose: guiding leaders toward the ultimate goal of reaching their potential and achieving lasting impact.
Motus9 began in February 2017 as Froiland Consulting, with a vision to stay small and focused. By November 2019, the business had a full client schedule, signaling it was time to expand. From March 2020 to June 2024, Motus9 established its headquarters in Austin, Texas, and developed robust systems to streamline operations. This period saw the creation of the Motus9 Way, encompassing standardized processes like Forward Together, Elephant, Board Operations, Executive Coaching, Partner Meetings, and Business Development Training. Five coaches were onboarded during this time, and the company rebranded with a name that reflected its mission, while app development began to enhance service delivery. In July 2024, John Fraser was hired as CEO, marking a new chapter focused on scaling the business and expanding its impact.
What we do when we provide someone with feedback that helps them see their blind spots, or put an elephant on the table and tame it, and we do that while also protecting their dignity in the moment.
We don’t beat around the bush. We actually take time to bring value in every moment that we are working with our clients, so that they can know that they are moving forward and experience the needle moving in every interaction with us.
Transparent is different than honest. Honest means that if someone asks you about a specific situation that you tell them the truth. Transparent means that you offer up that information before they even ask.
We go the extra mile. We don’t worry about what the limitations of our packages are. We look at what the client needs, and that is what we focus on, and what we work to until the very end.
One meaning our clients are not just our clients, and we are not just the consultants, but we’re all on the same team. We are one. Original means that we are not certified coaches. We don’t subscribe to some pre-certification or way of doing things. We actually bring our real lived experience to the coaching process, and all of us have backgrounds that give us what we need in order to meet our clients where they are.
