Keep your momentum.
Keep your peace.
Your energy is your company’s most valuable resource.
But when you are trapped in a cycle of constant firefighting, your vision gets cloudy, decision fatigue sets in and the pressure trickles down to your team.
I partner with startup & scaleup founders, CXO’s and senior leaders to drop the constant urgency, discover their [high-agency system.. something empowering and true?] and design a sustainable flow that fits their leadership naturally.
I understand you and your problems and i’m inside your mind.
The hardest part of leading isn’t the strategy.
It’s living with it.

If I’m off my game for one day, everyone downstream of me can feel it: the board asking for an extra check-in, the team stalling, our lead investor suddenly wanting a call before our next board meeting.
I walk into that boardroom confident and steady. So the panic stays only mine. Sometimes I forget what I actually feel underneath it all.
Dinner is on the table, my partner is talking and half my brain is still rehearsing how much of the truth to actually share in Friday’s all-hands.
When you are busy scaling a company, your nervous system is constantly treating work pressures as existential threats.
To survive, you brace.
You push through.
You tighten your jaw.
You run on pure adrenaline.
None of this is unusual or random at your level. This is what your role does to anyone who holds it without the right support around them. Most leaders are never taught how to carry this, so they just… white knuckle their way through it, feeling like something’s wrong with them.
But the painful truth is:
You just can’t count on this survival mode to get you through the months and years of YOUR life. Or to give you the high-stakes, clear-headed decisions your company needs from you right now.
This is NOT a willpower, discipline or resilience problem. It’s not something that a better task management tool will fix. And it’s not a self-care detour from your job either…
So what is it then?
It is your personal manual that we build together. This is how we bridge the high demands of your role with a deep sense of mental and physical clarity and safety, in a very practical way.
It is where strategy and physiology/mindset finally get worked on together, to unblock your clear path forward, one step at a time.
The Grounded Leader Program is a private, evidence-based and deeply empathetic partnership for startup and scaleup founders, CXO’s and senior leaders, designed to help you redesign how you live and perform sustainably.
designed for scaling CXOs. We combine solution-focused executive strategy with nervous system regulation to help you drop the physical friction of leadership. We teach you how to remain calm under fire, prevent executive decision fatigue, and maintain an unshakeable presence—without burning out your engine.
how capable your mind is and how safe and clear your body and mind actually feel
This is exactly the gap we close together, bridging your operational reality with what your body actually needs to lead from a place of clarity, not survival.
The good news is:
You don’t have to run on fumes to build something incredible.
And you don’t have to carry this alone.
You've been carrying this solo. You don't have to anymore."

All kinds of specialized elements that come into play & give niche credibility. I have the science, the practical coaching tools, and the real-world context to back up every single word on that permission slip.
Why the Grounded Leader Program works
Solution-focused coaching
We start strong, with that specific decision, conversation or pattern that’s costing you the most this month. And instead of spending weeks dissecting why you’re overwhelmed, we look at what’s working and make small, high-leverage pivots to get to your destination. So you can get back to building and move forward with ease and a high sense of agency.
Tech startup & scaleup consulting
Having experienced the full variety of this industry for 6+ years as a senior recruiter, I have the context to ask the right questions. The shifting priorities, the guilt of stepping away, the quiet high-performing burnout… I get these too.
Functional somatics
The body is often the missing piece for people who are brilliant at solving problems in their head, but can't think their way out of feeling wired at midnight. I can help you physically drop the tension you carry and then connect with your real needs and wishes. You can also learn, in real time, how to make the same decision from a settled state instead of a clenched one.
MSc Positive organizational psychology
I understand how systems, work cultures and cognitive loads actually affect human behavior. No fluff, all evidence-based. I can help you dismantle the hustle mindset and design environments and habits that support your energy rather than draining it.
YOU!
You are actually the expert in your own life and operational context. I deeply believe this. My role is to facilitate solution construction and create the space for you to uncover your own native resources. What can be more empowering than that?
Information is not what you need more of. if that was the case, you would’ve already solved it with chatgpt by now.
Take a deep breath and just imagine…
[check boxes]
Decisions get lighter.
Faster calls. Less replaying them at midnight. The confidence to separate what's actually urgent from what just feels urgent.
The calm becomes real.
You still walk into that boardroom steady — but it stops costing you anything to do it. The version of you the room sees is the version you actually feel.
We build you an execution engine that doesn't run on adrenaline. Boundary-setting that sticks. Decision-making that doesn't cost you your evening. A way of leading through the always-on moments that doesn't require you to disappear into the role to do it.
This isn't about doing less. It's about finally being able to do it from a place that isn't survival.
You get your evenings back.
Dinner is dinner. Your partner has your full attention, not half of it. You close the laptop, and the day actually closes with it.
Your team stops needing you to be "on" all the time.
Confidence gets distributed, not hoarded at the top. One off day doesn't ripple through the whole building anymore.
You stop carrying it alone.
Not because the job got easier — but because you finally have somewhere to put the weight before it turns into a mask.
Performance & decision-making
Faster, clearer decisions — less second-guessing, less 2am replaying
Better judgment under pressure, without the adrenaline crash after
Ability to separate "urgent" from "important" so every day doesn't feel like triage
Presence & leadership
Genuine calm in the boardroom, not performed calm — so it doesn't cost them internally
A leadership presence that inspires confidence without requiring constant self-suppression
Better hard conversations (comp, performance, restructuring) — handled sooner, cleaner, less avoided
Capacity & sustainability
Actually switching off at the end of the day — being present at dinner, not half in tomorrow's problems
Sleep that isn't fried-brain sleep
Sustainable pace — the sense that they could do this for years, not just survive this quarter
Team & organizational health
A team that doesn't need them to be "on" 100% of the time to function well
Less bottlenecking — decisions and confidence distributed, not hoarded at the top
A culture that reflects steadiness rather than absorbing their stress
Identity & relationship to the role
Feeling like themselves again, not just "the founder version" of themselves
Confidence that isn't duct tape — earned, not performed
Permission to not carry it all alone — a place to actually be honest about the hard parts
Outcome-outcomes (the ones investors/boards would notice)
Better board relationships — trust built through composure, not concealment
Retention of key people, because the CxO isn't leaking stress into the org
A company that doesn't stall when they have an off day — real resilience, not just their own

Format
How the Deliverables Match CXO Expectations:
• • It respects their timeline: Startups don't want long-term therapeutic dependencies. They respect a brief, high-impact framework that values their autonomy and gets them back to building.
CXOs don't have time for rigid 60-minute calendar blocks. They need high-access, high-impact support that fits into a chaotic fundraising or scaling schedule.
