Coaching Tailored to
Startup Leaders
Are You:
A Seasoned Startup Leader (any level)
Noticing you don’t have all the leadership skills you need?
Eager to build skills for your next career move?
Leading without a clear sense that you’re “doing it right”?
Overloading yourself because you don’t trust your team to do things?
Afraid people won’t like you if you give them negative feedback?
Avoiding getting help because no one “gets it”?
Secretly worried you’re not the leader you hoped you’d be?
What if You Had
Trust In Yourself as a Leader.
You believe in your ability to tackle new challenges as a leader because you’ve got the skills & practice.
You know that you’re capable, strategic, able to lead.
You’re seen as a role model to your team, and respected by your peers and other leaders.
Confidence to Lead & Delegate.
Trusting your team enough to let go of day to day operations so you can focus on strategy and get results.
You know where to step in and how to offer your support so everyone wins.
You’re less frantic and more balanced because your team supports you and you’re not the only one holding the bag.
You handle conflict like a pro!
Predictable Results.
You know what is preventing your success and how to resolve it.
You’ve made a plan for how to navigate your next big milestone so it doesn’t derail you, your team, or your org’s success.
You can engage your team to solve the next big problems so you get to the growth you want to see.
You can confidently make career moves because you have the practice and experience to lead.
Only one in 10 people naturally have the talent needed to lead people.
The rest of us… need help!
You need results FAST.
“Any” Coach won’t do.
You need a Startup Leadership Coach who “gets” what you’re facing day to day.
Meet Katie
After more than 12 years in technology startups (like Wayfair, Rocket Lawyer, Upserve, Vista Equity portfolio of companies) I’ve seen how difficult it can be to grow and scale a company where people are enabled to operate at their highest level.
I have been in the trenches alongside leaders like you working at a breakneck pace to meet our business goals. I’ve led in-person, remote, and hybrid teams through acquisitions, high growth, pivoting, expanding, and more.
I can give you perspectives that other leadership coaches can’t:
to see yourself how your employees do
how to lead teams at all phases of the startup lifecycle
Where we’ll Focus
to Get You Results
-
You’ve got defaults, skills, experience, and perspectives that make you a unique leader. We’ll start by gaining awareness through data, assessments, and feedback. We’ll discover where you shine, and key focus areas for improvement.
-
We’ll develop self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience skills to build belief in yourself and your ability to handle whatever comes at you while you lead your team to success.
-
Foundational skills like empathy and emotional intelligence help you see things from your team’s perspectives, what drives them, and what keeps them stuck. Your team is unique, and you’ll be ready to navigate the unique dynamics of your org with ease, inclusion, and confidence.
-
All leaders need to: give and receive feedback, coach your team, share your vision, make strategic decisions, hire people, lead effective meetings, and more. You’ll rehearse these skills in session so you’re able to quickly bring them into your day-to-day.
-
As you look to the future for your startup, you’ll face predictable milestones and changes. Each will challenge your leadership and rock your confidence. We’ll prepare you to apply your new skills to these new scenarios so they don’t derail you or your team.
From a Leader Like YOU:
Katie took me through a unique exercise that really illuminated a dynamic that was taking place in my organization. It helped me to identify what was going on at the surface but more importantly, what was going on internally. So much insight, so much actionable advice!
