We work with individuals, teams, and entire organizations on professional and personal leadership development. Our client organizations range in size and stage, from startup to IPO. Many are fast growing tech, or tech-oriented startups. We know startups from the operator and venture side, so we know the opportunities, pace, and challenges of leading and scaling a high growth company.

  • Founders
  • CEOs
  • Founding Teams
  • Entrepreneurs
  • Board of Directors

We have a special place in our hearts for underserved founders. We understand the challenges of every founder are unique and the ability to address those differences are critical to their success.  We cannot change the world, at least not immediately but we can equip those underserved with specific skills and tools to level the playing field.

Coaching for Founders & CEOs

1:1 Individual Coaching

Entrepreneurs are hard-wired to take on the world by themselves, to be fearless. Whether you’re scaling fast, starting the next stage of growth, or implementing change, our entrepreneur coaching can elevate your performance and improve your wellbeing.

Founders dig in, work hard, with ferocious tenacity and the determination to be self-made. These traits are admirable but alone, they are not enough to overcome the challenges on the path to success. 

An entrepreneur coach is a guide that supports you by unlocking clarity on what success looks like. The right coach can provide layers of value breaking down the roadblocks helping leaders unlock their true potential.  As serial entrepreneurs ourselves, we can spot weak points, give objective outside counsel, and supporting founders working with you to build an actionable plan to achieve your goals.

Working with a coach has been shown to increase performance, improve relationships and increase team effectiveness. We work with you on making the best possible decisions to drive the effective change you want. We have seen businesses grow throughout every stage and know the hurdles that come with each step. Having someone in your corner who knows what it’s like can be invaluable, and a coach will likely be the only person in your life solely devoted to supporting and accelerating your learning, self-knowledge, and personal growth.

Team Coaching: A team is only as strong as it’s weakest link.

Founding Teams

Organizations evolve, people grow apart and sometimes things get messy. You need different skills to handle these challenges founder-to founder, or in front of your employees and your investors.  Founder conflict is an opportunity to model skillful communication. Because things always get tough at some point for everyone.

Team Development Coaching enables members of a team to work better together.  The pressure for performance has never been greater and the bar keeps getting higher. The increased stress on individuals often manifests itself in conflicts between team members.  Working with the team coaching helps members navigate these predictable and unseen conflicts more effectively while becoming a more efficient and a highly effective team.

Guided Group Coaching

Group sessions for up to 8 founders at similar stages of company building. A coach guides these monthly confidential sessions focused on a unique combination of learning, decision-making, and real-time problem solving with insights and action items for successful scaling. Sessions are structured to allow everyone to rise above the urgent and focus on what is important.

In addition to personal and leadership development work, these groups provide a life-long network of trusted peers. Groups meet four hours each month for six months. Each founder also receives one hour of individual 1:1 coaching each month.
