Noel Bagwell

I help leaders go from setback to comeback by building resilience and developing and improving self-leadership skills.

I am a business attorney, author, and leadership coach. I have practiced law since 2012, advising founders and executives through the legal and human consequences of hard business decisions. I am the creator of the Rise Above™ method for resilient self-leadership and the founder of Counsel & Clarity™. My work sits at the intersection of law, leadership, and character. I coach leaders who are navigating a real setback, a failed launch, a key resignation, a fractured team, a personal crisis bleeding into the business, and want to think it through with someone who will tell them the truth and help them build a defensible path forward.

J.D.; B.A., Philosophy. Licensed in Tennessee. Author of Lead Again.

Rise Above™ coaching is leadership coaching, not legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is formed through this engagement. Confidentiality applies to coaching conversations but is not legal privilege. If your situation requires legal counsel, we will discuss that separately.

Setback Triage: A 30-Minute Diagnostic Call

Something has gone wrong and you need a clear read on it before you act. In 30 minutes we name the real problem, separate what is urgent from what only feels urgent, and settle the one next step that matters most. You leave with a written summary of the diagnosis and that step. This is the front door to the 60-minute Setback to Comeback session; if it makes sense, we go deeper there. Coaching, not legal advice. Bring the situation as it stands.

Setback to Comeback: A 60-Minute Resilient Leadership Session

Every leader hits a wall. A failed launch, a key resignation, a quarter that gutted morale. The leaders who come back stronger are the ones who lead themselves well through it. In 60 minutes, we diagnose the real problem, apply the Rise Above™ self-leadership framework, and resolve the single highest-leverage decision in front of you. You leave with a 14-day action sequence and a written summary. Coaching, not legal advice. Bring a real situation. Leave with a real plan.

“Noel has a real gift for helping people get unstuck. He cuts through the noise, challenges your thinking, and helps you see what’s really standing in the way. As a client, I’ve found him especially valuable for personal growth, breakthroughs, and overcoming obstacles. He doesn’t just offer encouragement. He helps you see problems differently and move forward with clarity and purpose. I strongly recommend him. ”

“Noel provided life/ spiritual coaching services to me during a tumultuous period in my life. His insights and methods were of great help to me when I felt like I was losing myself. Noel challenged me to think about things in sometimes radical (for me), but very constructive ways. I'm grateful for his coaching, empathy and at times, tough love. I consider Noel a friend and highly recommend him for personal and professional coaching.”
