The Founders after the Climb Executive Coaching Programme

Are you a Founder after the Climb?

You built it.
You scaled it.
Now you’re asking what comes next.

For years, growth, momentum, and problem-solving defined your identity.


Now the business is stable, systemised, or no longer demands you in the same way.


And yet — instead of relief, you feel something else.


A quiet uncertainty.


A shift in identity.


A sense that the old version of you no longer fits.


This page is for founders navigating life after the climb.

“IS THIS YOU?"

When the Drive That Built Everything No Longer Drives You...

Founders often reach a moment where:


  • The chase is over
  • Growth is no longer the motivator
  • The role has changed — but the identity hasn’t
  • Letting go feels harder than building
  • Success has created space… and uncertainty


This isn’t failure. It’s an identity transition..


This Phase Is Rarely Talked About...


Most founder narratives focus on:


  • hustle
  • scale
  • exit


Very few talk about:


  • who you are when the pressure eases
  • what drives you when goals are achieved
  • how to lead when control must be released
  • what purpose looks like beyond growth


That silence leaves many founders feeling unexpectedly lost.

Founders after the Climb Executive Coaching programme

I work with founders who have outgrown constant drive and are ready to evolve how they lead.

My approach integrates:


  • Clearings in Leadership – releasing outdated narratives and pressure
  • You 2.0 Thinking – evolving beyond founder identity
  • The Leadership Evolution Framework™ – awareness, purpose, emotional intelligence, adaptability, and legacy
  • Leadership 5.0 – human-centred leadership for complex, post-growth environments


This is not business coaching. It’s identity-level leadership evolution.


WHAT WORKING TOGETHER LOOKS LIKE


A Thought Partner for Your Next Chapter


Our work together creates:

  • Space to think without urgency
  • Clarity without forcing decisions
  • A safe place to explore identity shifts
  • Support in releasing control and redefining influence
  • A grounded transition into what’s next


This is private, reflective work for founders who no longer want to lead on autopilot.
