This isn't therapy, and it isn't vague advice. Coaching with me is structured, direct, and built around frameworks I've developed over more than 20 years and 360+ founder teams. We work on what's actually in the way: the leadership patterns, team dynamics, and blind spots that are costing you time, trust, and energy.
Who comes to me
Most founders and the technical leaders who join them reach out at an inflection point. Something has shifted, or is about to:
- You're building your first team and realizing your technical instincts don't translate
- A co-founder relationship is under strain
- Investor pressure is mounting and you're not sure you're showing up the way you need to
- You're exhausted, and still expected to lead
- Your culture is drifting and you don't know how to pull it back
What we work on
Depending on where you are, we might focus on any combination of:
- Founder Self-Mastery: your patterns, your energy, your authority as a leader
- Leading Your Team: getting people aligned, moving, and accountable
- Building & Scaling Teams: hiring, structure, conflict, and trust
- Culture by Design: making invisible norms visible before they harden into problems
What it looks like
Every engagement starts with a discovery call. From there, the work is custom, tailored to where you are and what's most urgent. Most clients work with me on an ongoing basis, with sessions structured around real situations as they arise.
What changes
What shifts is both internal and practical. You'll have language for what's happening, frameworks to act on it, and the courage that comes from genuinely understanding yourself as a leader. Most clients describe it as up-leveling: a real change in how they show up, not just how they think about it.
