What I Bring to the Table
With seven startups under my belt – four from scratch, all seven angel or venture-funded – like you, I have walked the lonely CEO road on which demanding boards and investors expect us to have all the answers. This is a high-stakes environment with pressure-cooker intensity found in very few roles. CEOs in this environment invite me to guide them to:
-
Lead rapid growth with justifiable confidence,
​
-
Navigate the crucial path of hiring the right key executives and assembling an effective board,
​
-
Maintain clarity and sanity in their challenging work while cultivating harmony in their personal lives,
​
-
...and much, much more.
​
We work together to customize a series of courses that augment your natural skills with the new tools, qualities, and capabilities you need to succeed. You immediately build your business better with less effort. It becomes fun again!
​
I will help you enjoy these results.
Is CEO Coaching Right for You?
You must be 'H&H' (Hungry and Humble)
Your business is growing fast and you are stretched thin
You are profitable or venture-funded for aggressive growth
Your company is successful but your leadership team is not in sync
You feel alone and stressed, or don't know how to take real, worry-free vacations
How CEOs Engage with Me
To ensure we have a strong, mutual match that will deliver results, we follow this proven qualification and engagement process:
01
We hold an initial assessment meeting. It is a rare breed of CEO who is hard-charging, yet humble enough to accept meaningful direction. These few standout candidates proceed to the next step.
02
Qualified contenders enter into a 12-month coaching agreement, with the first meeting being a two-hour personal assessment and goal-setting session.
03
We then engage in weekly, one-hour sessions together to address your ongoing needs. You also have 24/7 access to me for emergencies and hot topics that can’t wait for our next scheduled session.
04
As needed, we hold semi-annual CEO boot camps tailored to specific needs to shore up leadership skills. These engagements might address topics like how to keep the CTO from holding you hostage, understanding the real role of the CFO, motivating the CRO accurately, etc.
05
We enable your team to flourish and take the front position, driving your business forward, leaving you free to focus on vision, strategy, and resources.
