Independent Founder Advisor | Executive Coach | Perspective, judgement & challenge
Founder Advisory
Every founder relationship is different.
What tends to be consistent is the need for somewhere to think openly, away from the pressures and agendas that naturally exist inside a business.
My role is to provide that space — and to bring perspective, judgement and challenge to it.
The work often moves between three things: the founder's own role, the leadership around them and the business itself.
A conversation about strategy may turn out to be a leadership question.
A leadership problem may really be about the founder's role.
And a decision about stepping back may require changes across all three.
That is why I don't approach the work as a fixed programme or methodology.
I get to know the founder and their business, understand what they are trying to create and work with the questions that matter as they emerge.
Sometimes that means giving a clear view.
Sometimes asking a difficult question.
Sometimes helping a founder slow down long enough to work out what they actually think.
Usually it involves all three.
