Vision
Direction, Motivation, and Focus help people understand where effort should go, why it matters, and what deserves sustained attention.
CROS3 Coaching & Consulting
Direction deserves responsible action.
CROS3 helps individuals establish direction and follow through with client-centered coaching. It helps small businesses develop a Motivational Action Plan, put it into action, review progress, and adjust as needed through structured consulting.
Who we are
Helping people and small businesses move forward with purpose.
CROS3 Coaching & Consulting is a professional firm focused on helping people develop meaningful direction and helping small businesses turn plans into responsible action.
Our work is grounded in practical leadership experience and a belief that lasting progress requires more than good ideas or carefully developed plans. It requires sound judgment, genuine commitment, disciplined follow-through, and a willingness to learn and adapt.
Through coaching and consulting, CROS3 brings these principles into distinct professional contexts—supporting client-owned development and practical planning, action, review, and adjustment.
What we believe
Good judgment gives action a sound foundation.
Lasting progress depends on a clear vision—direction, motivation, and focus—combined with commitment—honor, respect, and duty. Good judgment helps people apply those concepts responsibly to the conditions and choices at hand, while evidence helps them learn and adapt.
The CROS3 Success Model™ offers a conceptual way to consider this relationship: Vision × Commitment. It is not a score, a promise of outcomes, or a second methodology.
Commitment
Honor, Respect, and Duty keep action grounded in a standard that can be carried under pressure.
Our foundation
Experience informs the practice. The firm remains the focus.
Founded by Ryan T. Crose, CROS3 draws on public-service and operational leadership, planning and strategy work, consulting and coaching interests, management and psychology education, and responsible reflection.
Ryan is a U.S. Coast Guard Commander and author of The Consulting C™. His experience helps inform the work, while CROS3 is presented as a professional firm built to serve the needs of the work itself.
Learn about CROS3How we help
Distinct service lines. One shared approach.
Coaching and consulting meet different professional needs. CROS3 uses the Consulting C™ through both contexts when a clear path from direction to action is useful. The service changes; the shared approach does not become a separate methodology.
Development-centered
Coaching
Coaching offers encouragement, guidance, and accountability for individual life and professional development. The client retains ownership of the choices and action ahead.

Consulting
Consulting helps small businesses develop a Motivational Action Plan, coordinate action, review progress, and make clear decisions about what comes next. Client decision-makers retain authority for the work.

A practical path from direction to review.
The Consulting C™ is CROS3’s shared, seven-phase approach for work that needs a clear path from direction to action: CLARIFY → COMPREHEND → CONSTRUCT → CONTRACT → COMMIT → CONDUCT → CLOSE. It helps clients establish direction, develop a Motivational Action Plan (MAP™), act on it, review progress, and adjust as needed.
The phases are not one-to-one sessions. When an important question, decision, or condition remains unresolved, the work stays with that phase or returns to it. CLOSE records completion or closure of the agreed operating period or process; it does not mean every client objective has been achieved. The client can consider a next decision—COMPLETE, CONTINUE to Rolling O™, TERMINATE, or NEW CONSULTING C™. If work continues through Rolling O™, it returns to COMPREHEND; Rolling O™ is not an eighth phase.
