Catch the signal before it costs you.
Some signals are small, but they're in plain sight once you know how to see them. I help founders and tech leaders spot the ones slowing them down, so they can make better decisions.
Leaders who move fast under heavy load
You run a company or a team where the stakes are high and the data is thin. You put a lot of pressure on yourself, and you're good at pushing through it.
The cost is that you stop seeing the smaller signals, the ones that would have told you the hire was wrong in week two, or that the team had gone quiet on you.
I work with founders, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and the people building with AI, in Canada and the US. Some pay for it themselves and some have the company sponsor it, and the work is the same either way. We look at how you decide, and at what you've been overriding to keep moving.
Three kinds of signal
In you
Notice what you're ignoring
Most bad decisions send a warning first, in your body or in your head. We work out what yours look like so you can catch them in time.
Under load
Know how you run under pressure
Everyone has a pattern under load. Some people go quiet and some go hard on the team. Once you can see yours while it's happening, you can choose what to do with it.
Why you build
Know why you build, so you can choose what to build
The reasons behind the company aren't always the reasons on the pitch deck. Getting clear on them makes the big calls easier, including the ones about your own role.
How it works
In a lot of coaching, someone tells you the best approach and hands you homework. I'd rather help you get to the core of what you already know and clear the dust off it, so you can make the call yourself.
Sessions are 60 minutes by video, usually every two weeks. We start with whatever is live for you that week, and I tell you what I notice, directly and without judgement.
I've built three companies. The first two were healthcare startups that didn't make it past launch. The third is a virtual mental healthcare company with a team of 25+ across Canada, and I still run it. I did advanced Gestalt training at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto, and I'm now completing an ICF-accredited coaching program at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland. I'm also a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario. More about me and how I got here.
A 30-minute conversation
We talk about what's going on and I tell you whether I think coaching will help. If I'm not the right fit, I'll say so. There's nothing to prepare.
Change starts with noticing what's happening right now, and most of the work is learning to notice while you're under load.
