One-on-One Coaching

Common challenges my clients are facing include:

• You’re worried that you’re not growing fast enough as a leader.
• You’ve recently raised a round of capital and it’s past time to invest in yourself and your team.
• You know your leadership team can perform at a higher level than they are right now, but aren’t sure what levers to pull.
• People problems continue to trip you up.
• Burnout looms. This isn’t sustainable. Something needs to change.

If that sounds like you, then we should have a conversation.

After this first conversation if you think I might be able to help you, we'll have a first free coaching session so you can experience my coaching for yourself.

Answers to frequently asked questions are below:

What does a typical coaching engagement include?

A typical engagement includes:

• Two-hour Kickoff Session to scope our coaching agenda, develop conscious agreements that will support us, and understand obstacles that we will overcome.
• Bi-weekly 80-minute deep-dive coaching sessions with a focus on accountability, identifying blindspots, and progressing to your goals.
• "Always on" coaching: Unlimited Slack/WhatsApp access for urgent issues.
• Quarterly progress reviews to hold ourselves accountable to achieving results.
• Access to The Leader's Library: A curated set of article, tools, books, and frameworks to focus your ongoing learning.
• Priority scheduling for urgent situations.

I often suggest we include a 360 review to gather feedback from key people that you work with as well. We do this after setting our agenda together as a method of validating (or reshaping) our focus.

The duration of coaching is usually 6 months to start. Development takes time and I've found this to be the most effective setup to begin. Some clients feel complete after the initial 6 months, others have found our work impactful enough to continue for 4+ years.

Who do you coach?

I typically coach founders, CEOs, and senior leaders at venture-backed startups who have tasted success, but also are aware that what got them hear won't get them to where they want to go next.

Some are facing burnout and need things to change to continue on. Others are encountering leadership challenges that they've never experienced before. Many are encountering the same dynamics and patterns getting in their way over and over.

The common thread is that they know they can be better and they're committed to doing the work to get there.

What makes you different?

I've been a founder multiple times now. And I've now coached hundreds of other startups leaders in their journey. So it's rare that I encounter a completely new problem.

But what I believe truly sets me apart is that I don't believe lasting growth comes through problem-solving. Now don't get me wrong, we will solve some of your most complex problems. But the way we'll do that is by developing a deeper understanding of your inner operating system and focusing our attention on upgrading that system. When you change yourself, the problems you're facing are seen in a better light and new approaches become available to you.

I believe this is something you need to experience for yourself, which is why - after we assess initial fit - I offer up a free coaching session before you commit to anything.

How much does coaching cost?

Pricing is based on stage of your company and designed to be affordable while also serving as a forcing function to add gravity to our work together. I will share full pricing details on our first exploratory call.
