“Deny it to a king? Then happy low, lie down!
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.”
Shakespeare wrote these immortal lines in 1597. He wrote it for Kings. He might as well have written it for Entrepreneurs of the 21st century. Entrepreneurship is a tough sport. While it can be exciting, it can also be lonely, doubt-ridden and failure-rich. Stress and Burnout are common amongst entrepreneurs. Also, founders cast a huge shadow on their organisations - every underlying belief, blindspot and bias become those of the organisation as well. Working on oneself first, hence is the logical first step for transforming the organisation.
Coaching blossoms your full potential - as a leader, as a human being.
You become self-aware of your strengths, deep-seated fears, blindspots and behaviour patterns
You become more confident, trusting and productive
Your communication becomes precise, authentic and inspiring
Your relationships flourish, especially with your cofounders, investors, employees, customers - and also your family
Your decision making improves, and you make fewer big mistakes
Your work-life balance, emotional well-being and mental resilience improves dramatically.
‘Founder to CEO’
Individual 1:1 Coaching Programme
Every Week, 6 Months
Congratulations! You had an idea. You had the courage, the conviction and the drive. You launched a business. Maybe you raised some money, maybe you pivoted, you roped in a few key employees, you secured a few customers, your business model got validated, and now you want to scale and grow.
This itself has not been easy. You have had to sacrifice your family time, a ‘safe’ corporate career, your hobbies, and even your physical and mental health. Now, you sense the organisation is in transition from a ‘startup’ to a fast-growing small business. The organisation is growing but complexity has increased. Constant firefighting is the norm.
You know that you need to evolve as a leader. You need to communicate more powerfully, build and lead teams effectively, resolve conflicts quickly, think strategically, and take right decisions. Personally, you need to manage time more effectively, handle failure with equanimity and develop mental toughness. You need to become a ‘CEO’, while still retaining the entrepreneurial drive, passion and purpose. Many fail to accomplish this, dwarfing their organisations and diminishing their impact.
The ‘Founder to CEO Coaching’ Programme is a 6-month coaching programme where you will grow from a founder to a CEO. Book a sample coaching session with me to learn how you can specifically benefit from this programme.
