Why Venture Coaching
When you & your partners started your company a couple of years ago, the goals were clear: get the product out there & get an huge amount of clients. Make a success of the company.
And you succeeded! The product is a hit & your company is growing fast. There’s been investors & maybe even a series B.
With the growth come some new challenges too.
There’re many more employees, who turn out to not always share you work ethics.
Maybe you made some mistakes in hiring, maybe people are asking for benefit plans.
Also, it turns out you and your partners have different leadership styles.
You might not all like to manage or maybe some of you are just bad at it.
There might be some communication issues between you.
Some topics are avoided; some struggles are fought.
These are very common challenges amongst founding teams and luckily they are very much solvable.
Different Ways to Work With Me
Future Search
Create a tangible, actionable plan for your next business fase using a technique that’s based on the work of Harvard Professor Otto Scharmer. A Future Search is a powerful instrument to connect on a deep, meaningful level and research the future.
A future search takes at least 1 day (depending on how concrete you want to the plans to get) and leaves you with the next steps to get to the deeper vision you share. Using a Future Search helps you come up with much more creative plans and solutions than other processes do.
One of the elements of this method I appreciate most is the powerful combination between different viewpoints, intuitive knowledge and practical steps into the future.
Highly recommended for teams who want to move into the future together.
