Leadership Sparring for Founders.
Strategy, leadership, and decision-making when the cost of being wrong is high.
A senior sparring relationship for founders navigating scale, complexity, and consequence.
Confidential. No obligation. Fit comes first.
What This Work Focuses On.
Founders rarely struggle because they lack intelligence, effort, or ideas. At scale, the constraint is how decisions are made, pressure is handled, and leadership posture holds.
My role is to work alongside founders on the strategic decisions and activities that surface what must change beneath the surface.
The Work We Actually Do.
We work through real leadership decisions where clarity, authority, and judgment are tested.
Pressure-testing decisions before they hit the organisation
Leading teams through uncertainty without over-control or collapse
These are not abstract discussions. They are the moments where leadership posture is revealed.
Why This Goes Deeper Than Strategy Alone.
These tasks reveal patterns. Where decisions stall, where authority leaks, where effort replaces clarity.
Strategy shows what should happen.
Leadership posture determines whether it actually does.
This is where internal friction is reduced, not through motivation or mindset work, but by recalibrating how leadership operates under pressure.
Who This Is For.
This work is for founders who:
Are already operating at scale
Carry real commercial and organisational responsibility
Recognise that strategy alone is no longer the constraint
If you are looking for motivation, tools, or performance hacks, this will not be a fit.
Alongside senior commercial experience, my work draws on executive coaching and applied psychology to resolve internal friction at its source. These tools are used selectively and pragmatically, in service of better decisions and stronger leadership under pressure.
Confidential. No obligation. Fit comes first.
How We Work Together.
This is a senior advisory relationship, not a programme.
We work through regular, confidential sparring conversations where decisions, assumptions, and leadership posture are examined at the level they break.
There is no curriculum. The agenda is defined by the reality of the business and the pressure of the role.
Exploring the Work.
This work begins with a confidential conversation to understand the pressure you are carrying, the decisions in front of you, and whether a sparring relationship is the right next step.
There is no obligation to continue.
Fit comes first.
