I've founded two organizations and co-founded two others, two statewide and two national. Each one taught me something the last one couldn't. I've been through the hard seasons and the breakthroughs, and I've stepped back from every one of them, handing leadership to someone else. I know what that costs. I also know what it makes possible.
That's the work I do with founders now.
I work with people at every stage, whether you're just starting out or deep in the work and carrying more than your share. I work with founders and their staff, and with boards who want to better support the founder they believe in. I can help you build a startup plan, navigate a founder transition, or just think more clearly about where you are and where you want to go.
I'm gentle until you need me to be direct. I hold space until it's time to make a decision. And I won't let you martyr yourself for your mission, because sustainable leadership is how the work survives.
