Advice Based on Who You Are

Not all coaches understand the business context in which you operate. Do you need a coach who not only understands you, and your strengths and weaknesses, but can advise and help you navigate key business and strategic challenges?  

Over a 40 year career representing entrepreneurs, executives and professionals, I have worked with my clients to navigate a wide array of business challenges, including:

  • ideating and launching a start-up

  • forming, incentivizing and inspiring teams

  • hiring and firing key employees

  • refining business models

  • executing on fund raising strategies

  • pitching investors

  • negotiating licensing and partnering transactions

  • managing Boards and Board expectations

  • negotiating M&A and other key company transactions

  • dealing with insubordination and attempted corporate mutinies

  • convincing constituents why failure can be turned into strength

  •  knowing when to cut your losses

  • making the hard decisions when it is time to pivot

  •  addressing senior or board criticism

  •  reducing toxic elements in your company

There are many ways to address any of these challenges, but the most effective way for you depends upon your personal style, your optimal modes of engagement, your passions and your strengths and weaknesses.  How you deal with these challenges defines you…..your leadership, your culture and the tone of your relationships.   

Will you be viewed as an inspiration by the people you work with, or will you be viewed as self-serving, or worse yet, as toxic?  Will your business partners walk away from the table with respect and confidence or will they be suspicious of your motives?

Addressing challenges in ways that are authentic to your higher self will not only lead to personal fulfilment and greater effectiveness but will also build trust and strengthen your business relationships and prospects for success.

Since my loyalty is to you, I advise you with your personal interests and goals as the north star of my advice.  While your personal interests will generally align with the company’s interests, at times it is valuable to recognize this is not the case. Being able to differentiate between your personal agenda and your company’s agenda is often critical in both fulfilling your obligations to your business and making decisions that move you towards achievement of your goals.
