Founder coaching
You’ve reached product-market fit, are scaling your business, and building your dream team. Great! Now what?
If you’re like most high-growth founders, you start to experience growing pains. Speed to market slows, creativity falters, and tensions flare. The pressure and burnout are real.
Something’s gotta change.
Like it or not, that something starts with you. And it extends to your team, your business, and your world.
Are you ready?
Who I work with
✔️ Founders at high-growth startups and purpose-driven small-to-medium sized businesses and nonprofits.
✔️ Trailblazers who don’t follow the rules—they make the rules. While they know that there is no blueprint or roadmap for success— they also crave more structure and accountability towards accomplishing the seemingly impossible.
✔️ Brilliant, creative, outside-the-box problem-solvers, thinkers, and doers. While this is usually an asset, it must be managed and used for good.
✔️ People who are mission-driven will stop at nothing to get the job done…and are also teetering on burnout and know they need to work smarter, not harder.
✔️ Idealists who are ready to be the change they want to see in the world.
Areas of focus include:
Leadership presence
Influence, delegation, and negotiation
Interpersonal dynamics
Anxiety, burnout, and emotional regulation
Work/life balance
Purpose, focus, and motivation
Business impact
Leading with and without authority
Team dynamics and organizational development
ADHD, autism, and neurodiversity
LGBTQ+ and queer identities
And other topics as they arise
How this works
Each engagement is bespoke and unique to each individual and organization. This can include narrative 360 interviews, vision, journey, and plan development, personal workshops and retreats, full access via email or text, as-needed coaching via Zoom or in person, and on-site or remote shadowing and observation.
Team coaching, workshops, and retreats are additional options we can explore.
Executive coaching engagements start at $2500/mo and can run upwards of $10-15k/mo depending on scope, business stage and size, intended business impact, as well as if we engage stakeholders, team members, boards, or investors.
If funding is an issue, private coaching might be a better option that we can explore.
