Entrepreneur Sparring Partner

Service Description

This programme is uniquely designed to provide continuous assistance to Startup Executives and Entrepreneurs in navigating the complexities of decisions they must make for their Startup's success. We understand the challenges you face, and our role is to provide the support you need to reflect, make sound decisions, and further develop your leadership. We understand that leadership can be a lonely journey, and we are here to be the sounding board often missing in your journey as an Entrepreneur, whether you are the founder or a member of the Executive leadership. Our approach is friendly yet challenging, designed to bring out the best in you. We differ from other similar services in that we do not look to map our own experience onto you. Solutions that have worked in different contexts may not be suitable for your unique context. Instead, we look to work with your challenges and co-create new pathways using our new strategy, leadership, and excellence practices, which you will find refreshing. Our fractal engagement means that the cost is marginal and very affordable, even for early Startups. Format of the service: At the service's core are monthly virtual or in-person whiteboard sessions. In those sessions, we: - Bring a contextual insight and/or education, - Review your priorities to help you continually stay focused and reflect on what's meaningful, - Structure the discussions around challenging the perspectives and determining new possibilities, - Co-create solutions, - Establishing further support we can offer under the services (e.g. elaborating a message, curating some approach, reviewing a presentation or a business case, etc.) In addition, we will also: - Run a fortnightly check-in of 15 minutes to review progress, drive commitment, address emerging issues and prepare the focus of the next monthly session, - Offer some ad-hoc offline time to give feedback on presentations or other documents, help prepare important sessions with peers, senior management, clients, or teams, or discuss how to take systemic perspectives to resolve a conflict or approach a situation. We understand the demands of your schedule and the potential constraints of travel. If in-person monthly whiteboard sessions are not feasible, we can fully manage the service remotely, with lighter virtual sessions and some offline work. Your needs are our priority, and we are committed to accommodating them in the best possible way.

Cancellation Policy

This booking is to establish the basis for the engagement of interest. During this initial meeting, we will discuss your needs and the suitability of the engagement. We will then produce a quote to proceed with the engagement. We will also schedule the engagement based on availability. This is especially important for multi-day engagements (e.g., strategy off-site, change increment design, etc.) or those that must be on a specific day (e.g., presentations). Best to talk early to avoid disappointment.
