Work With MeCo-Founder Coaching
The decision to co-found a company or otherwise partner with another person in business is powerful.
When it is working optimally, a partnership can be one of the greatest assets to an organization. It also brings an additional level of complexity to running a business. A healthy business partnership, like a marriage, needs to be entered into mindfully and tended to frequently.
Startup founders, co-founders, and business partners are exposed to intense amounts of change in short periods of time, and they need to be able to grow and change alongside the business. When time is short and difficult moments go unaddressed for periods of time, co-founders can wind up with relationship debt that they don’t know how to pay off. Sometimes this threatens to derail the whole organization.
Co-founder coaching helps new business partners start off their engagement on the right foot, aligning expectations and making contingency plans for potential conflicts or setbacks. It also offers an opportunity for established partners to clarify expectations, sort through misunderstandings, more deeply grasp each other’s style and current needs, and learn to communicate in a way that preserves both autonomy and alignment. Deep trust is established in confronting and resolving differences to more powerfully support one another and the organization.
