Find yourself within the stress, overwhelm, chaos, and pressure of your startup - and lead from there

✓ Learn to communicate authentically and build strong relationships with your cofounders, team, and C-suite

✓ Learn to give honest, effective feedback so you get the results you need

Discover your values and use them as a management tool that increases efficiency

✓ Deploy the right internal process at the right time to maximize your culture, leadership, and vision

✓ Create a productive relationship with your board from Day 1

✓ Turn ineffective squabbles into valuable conversations that move your mission forward

✓ Learn how to balance your startup with major life changes like death, diagnosis, or new child

✓ Understand your psychological failure modes and engage hero mode instead

Develop an authentic leadership style and learn how to use your unique strengths to your advantage
