Where are you? · 03 In the middle of it
It’s moving faster than I am.
Something is underway. What needs deciding this week, and what can wait?
Founders
- The deal is moving faster than I am.
- I’m signing things I haven’t had time to think about.
What we work on: We slow the decision down so you can think it through before you sign.
Business owners
- Buyers are asking questions I’ve never answered out loud.
- My people don’t know yet, and I’m not sure how to tell them.
What we work on: I help you find your own answers before you give them to a buyer or to your team.
Senior executives
- New role, new board, ninety days to prove it.
- Everyone is watching to see what I do first.
What we work on: We work out what to do first, and how you build trust with the new board.
Near or in retirement
- My last day is set and I’m still running everything.
- I’m training my replacement and wondering what’s left for me.
What we work on: We plan what you let go of before the last day, and what you want to take with you.
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.
