Over the years, 3 “greatest hits” have come to dominate my coaching clients’ request list:
– I want to become a better leader
– I struggle with my co-founder
– My partner/spouse is exhausted by my startup
I’d say these represent 80% or more of the initial coaching requests I receive.
While my background as a founder/operator often leads to questions about operational issues, the most frequent concerns I hear are emotional. Founders grapple with the fear of not being good enough, the pain of unresolved conflicts and the distress over hard choices.
These feelings are universal among founders – regardless of gender, experience level or background. They are part of the journey and, if left unaddressed, can knock you off course, harm your company and most importantly, impact your family.
If these feelings are banging around inside of you, it’s ok to ask for help.
It’s not a weakness. In fact, asking for help is a strength, one shared by high performing leaders, star athletes, Nobel Prize-winners and even ordinary humans like us.
Maybe I’m too much of a romantic, but I still believe that the founder’s journey of solving difficult problems and building important new products is one of our best hopes for creating a better, more sustainable world.
And that’s why I coach founders: to help them navigate the emotional challenges of their journey and empower them to build great products, companies and teams.
