I coach CEOs, founders, and startup executives to pursue their boldest ambitions by embracing risk instead of avoiding it. Why might you want to work with me?
Speak Freely without Being Judged
Leadership is lonely when you don’t have a confidant. It helps to have someone besides ChatGPT to talk through your challenges: you can’t improve how you lead if you can’t admit what’s not working.
But it can feel risky to admit failure when everyone around you is so invested in your success! Your board, your investors, your manager, your team, even your partner all have their own agendas that may or may not align with your own.
Let me be at least one person in your life who’s not judging you by your performance. I will help you learn from your failures by normalizing them, not judging you for them.
Pursue Your Boldest Ambitions
Often leaders get stuck on the way to their boldest ambitions. Maybe you keep waiting for a moment that never comes. Maybe you keep repeating strategies that aren’t working for you. Maybe you aren’t clear on what exactly your ambitions are in the first place.
It feels risky to explore change, so many leaders remain stuck—often believing there’s nothing they can do anyway. But there’s always a way forward if you embrace risk.
I will help you find that way forward. By experimenting with new behaviors and perspectives every week, you’ll build comfort with risk-taking—and prove empirically which strategies work for you.
Learn to Manage Your Stress
It’s easy to say you’ll embrace risk. It’s harder when the moment arrives and stress sends your whole body into danger mode. When we’re stressed, we tend to abandon our best intentions and react with fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. Stress signals danger to our bodies and naturally makes us risk-averse.
That’s why it’s so critical to learn to manage your stress. Not just to make your day-to-day more pleasant—but because you can’t assess risk accurately when you’re stressed! It’s impossible to make good decisions when your whole body is in danger mode.
I will help you embrace risk by managing your stress. No doubt your job is hard, but it’s not dangerous! Worst case you have to get a new job—most of us change jobs every few years anyway. You can work through that feeling of danger without believing the threat is real.
