“I can’t believe it was three years ago today,” Alex thought, picking up the congratulations card on his desk.
The company was profitable, the team was strong, and on paper he was doing well.
The team was larger now. The stakes were higher, and each decision held more consequence.
He trusted that the company was well positioned for the future.
Two hours later, a senior leader — someone he respected and trusted — resigned.
“I don’t feel like the way we operate now matches what we’ve become.”
For the first time, Alex was forced to face his blind spots.
He realized that the company had evolved faster than he had.
And that’s when we began the work.
That moment is more common in founder-led companies than most people admit.
Companies evolve. Complexity increases. But the thinking and structures designed to support that growth don’t always keep pace.
The founder remains central to it all, expected to lead a more complex business with clarity and conviction.
Self-pressure intensifies. Decision fatigue sets in. The role grows heavier and more isolating.
Direction becomes less certain. Conversations carry more tension. What once moved easily now requires effort.
That is the moment my founder advisory work exists for.
Its intention is not to fix a broken business. It is to create the space you need to think clearly at the level your role now demands.
The work is private and structured.
It creates deliberate space to step out of constant execution and think beyond the day-to-day demands of the business.
This is not therapy.
Not performance coaching.
Not operational consulting.
It is a strategic partnership focused on stabilizing leadership at the center of the business, where everything else takes its cues.
Typically, we meet twice a month.
No slides. No frameworks to perform.
Just structured conversation at the level your role demands.
Between sessions, you return to the business clearer and more deliberate in how you move.
The work usually unfolds over several months. Long enough to stabilize thinking while maintaining momentum.
Everything remains confidential.
It starts with a conversation.
