Executive Business Coach

Equipping growth-stage leaders to achieve their revenue goals.

After a Series A or B fundraising round, you must #scale fast.

But that’s exactly when most startup founders and executives struggle. 

Here’s the problem: most founders and executives don’t have the skills to scale their organizations. 

These skills are not just “nice-to-haves" -- they are non-negotiable.

You make excuses or claim you don’t have time for it and you end up pushing everyone harder, stressing every person on the team and creating a toxic environment. 

Morale tanks and you start to lose good people. 

You’re in trouble with only a few months of runway left and you start to freak out, losing confidence that you’ll be able to get off the ground. 

Your investors get nervous and question if you can pull it off. 

Your confidence spirals, which bleeds into your leadership style. 

It happens more often than you think. You shouldn’t let it happen to you. Trust me, I’ve been there. And I learned how to get out.

With these factors in mind, it’s no wonder that 55% of Series A companies don’t raise a Series B round and 90% of startups fail. 

Here’s a hard truth: you had a great idea that secured your funding, but you don’t have the leadership skills to deliver quickly and consistently. Don’t worry - most founders don’t have those skills because technological innovation is an entirely different skillset from human-centric leadership.

It doesn’t have to be so difficult – with the right coaching and training, you can: 

1. Stay focused on what matters most: commercial traction by creating value for your customers. 
2. Clarify your values and hire, fire, incentivize, recognize and reward based on those. 
3. Create value for your customers and stay laser-focused on market changes to consistently generate more revenue. 
4. Improve teaming fundamentals daily, improving morale and productivity. 
5. Streamline your meetings and gain back the time you need to execute on your goals. 
6. Develop consistent standards and a common language  across your team. 
7. Use science-backed tools to identify important metrics and solve problems fast. 
8. Train your leaders and managers to build psychological safety, trust and alignment. 
9. Give frequent feedforward through performance conversations and co-create inspiring development plans. 
10. Send the right signals to potential investors to secure your next round of funding. 

Shoot me a message if you need to learn how to scale quickly and finally escape the pressure cooker. Human-focused growth coaching can deliver tangible results for your customers and investors without burning out your team.
