Coaching for founders and new leaders

You don't need more advice. You need a decision.

I work with a small number of founders at a time, for six months, on the two or three decisions that will shape their next five years.

How it goes

Clear, then brave, then done.

  1. A first conversation

    Forty-five minutes, free. We find out whether the problem is the kind I'm good at.

  2. The map

    Two long sessions to lay out everything: the company, the people, you. Most clients say this alone was worth it.

  3. The decisions

    We name the two or three that matter and work on them, one at a time, in order.

  4. The handover

    A written record of what you decided and why, so you can come back to it in a year.

Forty-five minutes. No pitch.

Pick a time that works. I'll send a short note beforehand with three questions to think about. Times shown in Central European Time.

The decision you keep postponing is the one that matters.
