Business Consulting and Founder/Leader Wellness
For 35 years, I was a CEO, Brand Builder, Business Leader, B Corp Founder and Entrepreneur. I founded, grew, fledged and sold 5 of my own companies from 1998 - 2023. I sold my last company (before Instinctive LLC) to my employees.
We sometimes forget that the most valuable infrastructure of any company is founder and leader wellness and effectiveness. Even the most grounded business leaders need a coach to help guide:
- Strategic Planning
- Financial and cash flow management
- Fundraising, capital and Investor relations
- Financial forecasting with uncertainty
- Determining when and how much to pay
- Managing debt and financial risk
- Hiring, firing, and team building
- Delegating effectively and letting go of control
- Building systems and processes that scale
- Managing time between working "in" vs "on" the business
- Operational efficiency with limited resources
- Isolation and loneliness
- Decision fatigue and analysis paralysis
- Imposter syndrome and self-doubt
- Work-life integration
- Managing stress, burnout, health, loss, transition
- Identity tied to business success/failure
- Setting and maintaining company culture
- Communicating vision and keeping team aligned
- Building trust and psychological safety
- Adapting to market changes and disruption
