Where are you? · 04 After the move
It’s done. Who am I now, and what’s next?
You sold the company, left the title or retired. What now?
Founders
- I got what I wanted and I feel lost.
- Everyone says congratulations. I don’t know what to say back.
What we work on: We look at what the company gave you besides money, and where you might find that again.
Business owners
- I sold it. Now what do I do on Monday?
- My whole week was built around the business.
What we work on: I ask what you want your days to look like, then we try a few things before you commit.
Senior executives
- Without the title, people stopped calling.
- I don’t know how to introduce myself anymore.
What we work on: We separate who you are from the title you had, then look at what you want next.
Near or in retirement
- Who am I when no one needs a decision from me?
- I’m retired, and the days are longer than I expected.
What we work on: We work out what you want retirement to be about, and what a good week looks like now.
I’ve been in that seat. We’ll work on the decision in front of you and on what it does to you, so the move fits the life you want after it.
- Senior-level leadership roles at IBM and EY
- Multiple-time founder with exits
- CEO, COO and fractional executive roles
How the work runs
It starts with a free 20-minute call. After that, the work is built around your situation. A sale, a succession, a board that won’t agree, a new role and life after an exit each call for something different. So how often we meet, how long we work together and what we cover are set to fit.
