Coaching is right for you if you are (a) committed to improving your performance and well-being, (b) looking for practical and/or emotional support to make the change faster, and (c) willing to dedicate at least 1.5 hours a month towards this goal.

Being a founder can be incredibly rewarding, but also exceptionally lonely. CEOs with brilliant co-founders, experienced boards, and supportive families still struggle because every stakeholder around them has a specific interest.

Finding someone you can talk to who understands what it’s like to be in your seat, has time to deeply engage, and is solely motivated by your best interest is a rare feat. At specific points in time, this can be a nice to have, but in the trickiest moments, it’s a necessity.

Even if you manage well on your own, as the most senior leader in the team, you are unlikely to get objective feedback and may miss what’s right in front of you. If you’re successful and scale, what it means to be a ‘good CEO’ will change every six months. It’s not surprising that less than 50% of founder CEOs still have the title after the first three years. This is not just any job.

Rather than a sign of weakness, having a coach shows you recognise the importance of investing in being your ‘best self’ because that has a huge impact on your team and your company’s ultimate success. No matter how experienced you are, a strong coach can be a game-changer for every entrepreneur.

I work exclusively with founders, CEOs, C-Level leaders, and investors. This allows me to concentrate on the specific challenges and opportunities that are unique to these roles. One thing my clients don’t have much of is time, so I help them get to their goals significantly faster or take action they would otherwise put off.

If I’m not in a position to help, I am happy to recommend other trusted coaches who would be better suited to your role and stage. Get in touch.

Coaching involves meeting once or twice a month to reflect on your biggest challenges. I’ll relate to you as a whole person so while we may initially focus on the professional side, no area of life including fun, friends, family, or other relationships is off limits.

Through active listening, powerful questions, and shared experiences I’ll help you work through your problems faster than you would on your own, deepen the learning, and help you keep accountability toward action if needed. Crucially, I am able to leverage insights from 100s of CEOs that I have mentored, invested in, or coached.

You’d be committing to at least 1.5 hours a month. Most of my clients choose to meet for 1.5 hours every other week. The initial engagement is typically 3-6 months so you have a chance to put what we discuss into action. Real change takes time.

For a busy leader, this might sound like a lot. In fact, cumulatively, it’s less than 2% of your awake time for the duration of the coaching. Limiting beliefs, unproductive thinking, and delayed action are most certainly costing you far more than 2% of your time, energy, and productivity. Consider how much more than 2% of time and impact this 3-6 month investment will save for years to come.
