Executive Coaching for

First-time C-Suite Leaders in high growth startups

First-time C-suite leaders are rarely underqualified.

They are top performers.
They know their craft.
They’ve built high-performing teams.
They’ve earned their seat.

But the shift into the executive team requires an entirely new operating model.

Especially in startup environments — where resources are constrained, expectations are high, and the board is watching.

- Expanding perspective from vertical ownership to company-wide impact
- Strengthening executive voice in senior leadership forums
- Navigating CEO partnership dynamics
- Building strategy rather than inheriting it
- Aligning vision with measurable outcomes
- Scaling systems without overextension
- Board communication and high-stakes presentations
- Constructive challenge and healthy dissent
- Leading peers without hierarchy
The internal shift is as critical as the external one.
I integrate trauma-informed somatic awareness and nervous system regulation tools to help leaders:
- Stabilize under pressure
- Reduce reactive decision-making
- Move beyond imposter patterns
- Lead from clarity rather than urgency
This creates durable leadership capacity — not performative confidence.
