Founder Coaching
Life Coaching for Founders
Strategy grows the business. Coaching grows the founder.
​
Life coaching for founders - Your business only grows as much as you do.
You can have brilliant strategy, but if you're second-guessing every decision, avoiding difficult conversations, or holding yourself back - none of it works.
​
This is coaching for the whole picture. Your entrepreneurship journey and your business decsions - not just what you're building, but who you're becoming as you build it.
​​
Looking for business strategy? That's Growth Partner or a Strategy Day. This is about you as the founder - the confidence, mindset, and personal development that determines whether the strategy actually works.
​​
We work on you and your business - because one doesn't grow without the other.
What we work on
​​​​
This isn't a structured programme. It's flexible support that fits around what you're actually dealing with month to month. Some months we might focus on strategy. Other months, you just need to talk something through. It works around you.
​​
Your business:
The decisions that need making - pricing that actually works, whether to take that opportunity, hiring your first person, growth that doesn't break you. The strategy and commercial stuff that moves your business forward.
​​
You as a founder:
Your confidence when making big calls. Your habits that are holding you back. How you handle pressure and setbacks. The personal development that determines how well you lead and whether you can actually sustain this long-term.
​
Decisions and opportunities:
Talking through whether to expand, take investment, pivot your offer. Working out if that partnership makes sense or if you're just saying yes because you feel you should. The conversations you need to have before you commit.
The messy bit in between:
Why you're avoiding that difficult conversation with your business partner. What's making you play small when you know you're capable of more. How your patterns - the way you were raised, your relationship with money, your fear of being seen - show up in your business decisions. The personal stuff blocking your business that has nothing to do with strategy.
​
We work on your business decisions, your personal growth, and everything that connects the two. Because you can't separate them, even if you try.

This is for you if:
You're building a business in retail, hospitality or lifestyle and you know you're capable of more - but something's getting in your way.
You want coaching that works on the business and on you as the person leading it. Not just strategy sessions, but proper support that helps you grow into the founder your business actually needs.
You're ready to do the personal work - the uncomfortable conversations, the mindset shifts, the growth that doesn't feel easy but makes everything else possible.
