Coaching for Entrepreneurs

Cooper Margolin

ENTREPRETEURS

We help business owners and founders launch or scale their business by helping them create and communicate their vision, set objectives for making the vision a reality, create and maintain a culture that supports individual and team growth, hire intelligent and curious people that have the skills needed, a commitment to the vision, and a desire to support and maintain the culture needed for success.

HOW WE HELP

Being an entrepreneur requires a perpetual juggling of your personal and professional life. We create a supportive and trusting environment for you to connect with your authentic self, explore the power of your potential to expand your impact, create more authentic relationships with yourself and others, and remain true to your values while increasing your ability to lead, influence, and inspire others in your work and personal life. Together we work to make your dream a reality:

IT’S NEVER JUST BUSINESS!

Together we develop a blueprint of challenges and goals unique to you including setting boundaries as well as combating imposter syndrome, stress, and burnout in an often chaotic work-life environment

Common Themes

Self-Management

Self-management for the entrepreneur is about being disciplined with your time, staying focused on what truly matters, maintaining emotional resilience and committing to continuous improvement. Our focus will be on helping you find your authentic self. From there, skills such as resilience and perseverance will naturally balance to help you avoid burnout and minimize stress and anxiety. It is a uniquely challenging frontier.

Clarity of Vision

Clarity of purpose is about defining a path in work and life that leads you towards your greater “why”. Together, we will seek to uncover that vision and then build an intentional path towards it. Entrepreneurs can often walk a lonely road. It’s vital that within solitude, there is a deep sense of purpose that keeps you feeling fulfilled, whole and balanced.

Increased Productivity

We approach increasing productivity by seeking to understand what is truly holding your back from impactful action. Our Human Centered coaching focuses on you so we can gain insight about your unique makeup and experiences to help you gain understanding, tools, and techniques to permanent and impactful changes in your behavior and increase your productivity.

Business Growth

Business growth is about building with intention. It begins with a Vision that must serve as your true north. From that vision, we will help you define the culture you want to exist, set objectives as a road map, and establish key operating results that will accomplish the objectives. As you grow, we will help you hire and retain the people and embrace the culture you have created. Scaling a business is a team event.

Exploring the Power of Human Potential is the process of becoming who you are in terms of self-awareness, fulfillment, appreciation, and satisfaction.
