Whether you are launching your first startup or growing a successful small business, life as a founder is like a rollercoaster. It has incredible highs and incredible lows. It is both extremely rewarding and extremely challenging, especially during these uncertain times. 

It can be lonely at the top – wanting to appear competent and a strong leader, while at the same time suffering from self-doubt or imposter syndrome. It is difficult to be able to share your thoughts with colleagues and family as they all have their own agenda. A coach can help you deal with your feelings and emotions. The confidential nature of coaching means that you can be honest about how things really are for you and your hopes and fears. Most people suffer from anxiety and a fear of stepping outside their comfort zone but if you have someone beside you to cheer you on and hold you accountable, who knows what you are capable of? 

Business coaching looks at you within the context of your life as a business owner. The hybrid coaching/advisory model offers insights into running an effective business, whilst tapping into your own resources. Ultimately you know what is best for your business, but it sometimes takes some prompting and guidance to achieve the clarity you need to move forward.
