Co-Founder Coaching

Co-Founder Coaching

Because the role of a founder doesn't stay the same forever.

As businesses grow or move into a different stage, founders need to evolve too. Sometimes that means becoming better leaders. Sometimes it means redefining roles and responsibilities. And sometimes it means learning how to step back without stepping away from the things that matter.

This coaching is a space for two or more founders to think clearly, talk honestly and make intentional choices about how you want to lead, work and live in the next chapter.

Whether you're building for growth, navigating change, preparing for an exit or figuring out who you are after one, the aim is the same:

to help you create a partnership - and a life around the business - that works for where you are now.

Examples of areas we can work on:

  • Defining and evolving your roles - moving from operator to owner, leader, advisor or brand guardian

  • Redefining success - deciding what you want the next chapter to look and feel like

  • Creating space - stepping back from the business without losing purpose, connection or identity

  • Clarifying what comes next - individually, professionally and together

  • Protecting what you've built - staying close to the values and culture that made the business successful without needing to control it

  • Redesigning your partnership - creating a way of working together that fits this stage of the business

  • Making decisions with confidence - knowing when to step in, and when to step back

  • Preparing for change - whether that's growth, succession, investment, an exit or a completely new chapter

  • Finding purpose beyond the business - making room for new ambitions, relationships, interests and ways of contributing

Madeleine has worked wonders with us. We have been working together for 16 years and with a little of Madeleine’s guidance we have become more focused on how to drive the business forward. We have started to see changes in our business immediately. The Co-founder sessions have been so valuable that I would urge anybody that needs clarity on how to move forward to embrace openly. Let me know if anybody needs further convincing...

Madeleine gave us time to sit still, reflect and respond -  the basic rule of growth and communication - which is easily distracted by the day-to-day of running a restaurant in this big city! She helped us make that space, and gave us the tools to keep reminding ourselves and to keep moving forward.

After working with Madeleine for a number of years with her management training sessions, she recently worked with us as co-founders to shape our company values. Something that at first seemed extremely hard to pin down was made effortless by Madeleine's brilliant guidance. The way she listens without judgement and helps to navigate through it all is incredible and we are so thankful to have these core values as a guiding light. Going through the process together helped us to define who we are as a business and we see these values as an important anchor for our decision making and planning for the future.

Madeleine is the sort of person that will make you feel extremely at ease, is super attentive and extremely sharp. In the sessions we went through a lot of emotion and breakthroughs but there was also fun and creativity. We finished the program with a sense of lightness and most importantly we understand how we can unstuck ourselves from those difficulties that arise in our co-founder relationship.

Working with Madeleine made a big impact for us, even from the initial session. From a safe and comfortable space she offered new perspectives for us to view our partnership and our roles within it - these were conversations we knew we wanted to have, but we were finding them difficult to navigate on our own. At the same time, Madeleine helped us feel more positive about what we were capable of achieving, and gave us the confidence to move forward with an aspect of our business that had previously seemed like just a dream.
