LEADERSHIP COACHING

There are a few things I look for in a potential coaching partner that are indicators of success: Leadership, Motivation, Coachability.

WHO I SERVE

LEADERSHIP

My ideal partner is a senior leader at an early stage startup (usually a founder or CEO) that has at least 4 FTEs, or a Partner at a venture fund who is looking to improve value to the founders they work.

Additionally, leaders who manage teams and are looking to improve the output of their teams by optimizing their management strategies often find coaching valuable.

MOTIVATION

Motivation usually demonstrates itself through the desire of the leader to be better. A better leader, a better manager, and a better person.

Motivations are sometimes more tangible: working towards a milestone or life event is a great example.

COACHABILITY

Frankly, coaching isn't always simple, easy, or comfortable. Sometimes a leader has to be willing to "sit in it" to grow. If you are unwilling to have the hard conversations, coaching will not be beneficial to your growth.

Time. It is the scarcest resource a leader has. My practice is focused on optimizing results to reduce time commitment.

To get there, I come with many hats developed over decades of dedication (coach, founder, investor, mentor, etc) and look to wear the appropriate one at the appropriate time. I will meet you where I am needed to achieve the results you need to uplevel your leadership.

HOW I WORK

WHY ME?

I have a unique set of experiences. I have built big businesses, and I have failed. I have had personal struggles with sobriety and mental health, and I have figured out how to follow a path of recovery and happiness. I know business, but I really understand people.

I am someone whose parts and life experiences have made for an interesting set of filters to help you.

HOW IT WORKS

Our first meeting is always free and a chance for both of us to explore the partnership. If we decide to move forward, while flexible, we will meet a few times a month for ~60 minutes. I will often send you a prep email with a few focused questions, and will always follow up with thoughts and next steps. While our meetings will be scheduled, I am available to you over the course of our partnership via text, email, etc.

HOW DO YOU CHARGE?

As a monthly retainer so we aren't counting minutes. I ask only for an energic three month commitment.
