A founder knows a founder.

As the founder of a rapidly growing consumer products startup, I juggled countless responsibilities. My support network, consisting of family, friends, and investors, wasn't providing the guidance I needed to address my anxieties and shortcomings.

Looking back, I realized I needed a coach—an unbiased strategic advisor not connected to my close circle. I needed to focus on developing my skills rather than figuring everything out on the fly.

As a founder who understands your challenges, I'm here to help you navigate your journey.

Does This Sound Like You?

 

  • Do you hesitate to give up control over tasks and decisions?
  • Do you question whether your team members can carry out your vision successfully?
  • Are you managing a heavier workload and longer hours as your company grows?
  • Are you dealing with the constant pressure to perform and deliver results?
  • Have you sacrificed personal time and relationships to focus on the business?

If you have faced these challenges, you are not alone.

The journey to becoming a strategic CEO is precisely that—a journey, and having a guide is essential.

Ready to transition from a hands-on founder to a strategic CEO?

When I first met Tara, she was a passionate founder who had built a successful startup from the ground up. She was deeply involved in every aspect of the business, from manufacturing to customer service. As her company grew, so did her responsibilities, and she found herself struggling to balance the demands of a hands-on founder with the strategic vision required of a CEO.

We focused on two key areas to help Tara transition into a more strategic role. We focused on:

  • Strategic Relationships: She needed new and larger contracts with major retailers to continue scaling. Together, we set a vision and goals to increase her company's revenue and sales volume, discussed strategy and relationship management, and how to negotiate the best terms for her company.
  • Delegation: Empower Tara's team to take ownership of key tasks and responsibilities so Tara can step back from day-to-day operations and trust her team to operationalize her vision.

Through our coaching sessions, Tara gained the confidence and skill to navigate this transition successfully.

She landed big deals and learned to trust her team, delegate effectively, and focus on the big picture.

Today, she's a collaborative CEO, inspiring her team to achieve extraordinary results.

Seven Important Things We'll Cover

I partner with founders to navigate the transition to a strategic CEO role, offering guidance, support, and accountability.

#1

Self-awareness and Development

As a coach, I help founders gain a deeper understanding of themselves through assessments and personalized coaching, enabling them to develop the skills needed for CEO success.

#2

Strategic Planning

I work with founders to craft a compelling vision that will ignite their team and drive the company forward.

#3

Team Building and Leadership

I empower founders to build world-class teams through talent acquisition, development, and leadership.

#4

Time Management and Prioritization

I help founders use their time better, set their goals, and hand off tasks they can’t handle. It’s important to recognize that not everything can be a top priority. Knowing how long you need to finish your tasks is key to getting things done. This method helps avoid burnout and ensures you pay attention to other important parts of your life.

#5

Stress Management and Resilience

Stress as a founder can be complicated. While self-care practices can help you become more resilient, there is more to consider. A smart way to handle stress is to understand it better, recognize the challenges in your life, plan for stressful times, and create ways to manage stress. These are detailed steps that we often find hard to see on our own and may need help to navigate successfully.

#6

Networking and Relationship Building

To build a successful business, you need a strong network. You can't do it alone. The connections you make and the advice you receive can be your greatest asset as a CEO. I help founders plan how to build and improve their networks. This ensures they are respected by peers, investors, board members, and employees.

#7

Performance Evaluation and Feedback

To be an effective leader, it's essential to understand how your leadership style impacts those around you. We often tend to overestimate our own performance, which can limit our success as CEOs. I assist founders in recognizing their strengths and weaknesses, and I help them establish feedback systems for their ongoing development.

I Bet You Didn't Know...

Studies show that about 50% to 70% of CEOs have worked with a coach at some point in their careers. Coaching offers surprising benefits for startup founders and CEOs, helping them grow personally and professionally. 

 

Coaching builds self-awareness, emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and leadership skills. It helps leaders realize their full potential and drive innovation. Coaching encourages leaders to reflect deeply, helping them understand their strengths and weaknesses and the impact they have on their teams.

Coaching helps leaders manage their emotions and build strong, caring relationships with their team members. It also provides tools and frameworks for making smart decisions and addressing complex problems.

With these skills, leaders can inspire and motivate their teams, creating a culture of continuous improvement. Investing in coaching can have great benefits for both you as a leader and your company.
