Coaching

You’re missing a nurturing relationship with someone who:

Deeply understands your startup business and context

Will skillfully provide relief and help you build resilience

Can arm you with the wisdom and tactics to overcome your “people problems”

Loves you enough to know when you need a safe space to vent and when you need to confront Scary Hard Things and take action

Why nurturing?

I use the word nurturing because as your coach I don’t just offer support and care--I also will expect and challenge you to work hard to grow.

I’m like that nurturing mama bird who will feed you worms when you’re hungry, but I’ll also push you outside the bounds of your comfy nest when it’s time to fledge.

My clients describe me as “compassionate and fierce” and “tough and loving.” I bring that energy and commitment to every client I coach.

I offer the nurturing relationship you need so you can go out every day and do some of the most interpersonally courageous and psychologically demanding work there is → building, leading and, yes, nurturing your own fast-growing team.
