Founder Coaching
Running a business isn’t easy, but if you’re acting in line with your Purpose and Values and are Well, YOU can feel energised, excited, capable, confident and highly motivated to take your business and yourself wherever you want to go.
As a Founder, you will be met with a unique set of challenges.
You will have had an idea, a great idea, and then you will have taken the big challenging steps to turn that idea into a business. Maybe you’re still in those challenging start up years, or the years when there is a burst of growth as you struggle to keep up with demand, or the years when it plateaus, or the years when it starts to feel like it’s falling apart, or the years when you’re starting to think about stepping away to a new phase in your life.
Founder Coaching can help at any stage of the life cycle of your business. Each of these phases brings unique challenges, and Founder Coaching helps you tune into your authentic self, helping to find the blocks, get you unstuck and moving forward.
Founder Coaching is not Business Coaching. Business Coaching is about working with the business, helping the business get through challenges and grow. Founder Coaching is about working with You, the Founder. As Founders we can lose sight that we are separate from the business.
As you discover more about your self; it provides a lens through which to view goals, decisions, and actions. If you as a Founder can get in touch with your Purpose, Values and find your Wellness, then you will make better decisions for yourself and your business. When you act from a place of authenticity, you can tap into your passion, see solutions, and find fulfilment. Your actions as a Founder will ripple out into the business and the business will flourish.
I ran my previous business for 13 years, I went through all the struggles, and the joys, and for 10 years of running that business I had a Coach. Over those years and since then I’ve re-trained, I’ve explored, I’ve learned, and I’ve developed my Wellness With Danni Coaching Model and Programmes. Combining all my experiences, the latest science, methodologies, and traditional holistic practices, to create Coaching Programmes that will make a life changing impact.
I wouldn’t be where I am today as a Founder of Wellness With Danni without my Coaching Journey.
Coaching was the solution that worked for me.
What is Coaching and how will it help YOU:
As we go through the Coaching process, you will dive deeper into who you are, what your Values are, what your Purpose is, and your desires and goals for the future. You will discover your truest form of you. I call this your authentic self.
Woven into this is what it means to be Well. For you.
As you discover more about your self, your Values, your Purpose, your Wellness; it provides a lens through which to view goals, decisions, and actions.
You can then move more purposefully towards your desires and goals.
Challenges and blocks will arise, that’s perfectly normal. You bring these to the Coaching space to explore and find new routes to your goals.
This is not a linear process. The Coaching process will evolve and loop back and forward as you learn more about yourself and experiment with new perspectives and goals.
My role as your Coach is to provide a structure and framework to support you along this journey.
My approach to Coaching is based on the belief that we are all completely and utterly unique, with our own skills and strengths and creativity to find ways forward.
Neuroscience shows us that every single brain is wired differently, so we each need to forge our own connections and pathways for change to stick.
I am not there to tell you what to do. If I told you what to do, I would strip away your power and your beautiful uniqueness. What works for one person doesn’t work for everyone else.
If you’ve been in the position before where someone has said (with all good intention), if you do X and Y, then you’ll succeed. You try X and Y, you really try hard. But you don’t reach your goal.
This is where Coaching can help to get you back to who you are, your uniqueness, and you will then be able to find a route to your goals that works for you.
A Little About Me
I so fundamentally believe in the power of Coaching that I left my old career to embark on a new career in Coaching back in 2022.
I’d set up a small Accountancy Firm in 2009 and worked tirelessly building a sustainable successful business, before selling the business in 2022 and deciding to take the leap into the Coaching and Wellness industry.
During the 13 years running the business I was lucky enough to have a Coach who I met with almost every month. I worked with my Coach to find out who I was, what my values where, what my desires and goals were, and then when I faced blocks I was able to use my Coaching sessions to find new ways of thinking, new perspectives, so I could find new routes forward.
And so often these sessions revolved around what I needed to do to look after myself so I could then fully show up for my business
As an accountant and FD for owner managed businesses I was in a privileged position to work with Founders over many years for over 200 different businesses. I found time and again that it isn’t just about business strategy, profit margins, or cashflow. It was about the people. The Founders themselves. If they could prioritise themselves and their wellness, then the business could flourish. If they had a strong sense of worth, purpose, and connection to their values, then the business and they could flourish.
I felt helpless at times, that I didn’t have the knowledge or skill set to really help the Founders I worked with when they needed so much more than an Accountant. I knew that ‘advice’ isn’t enough, that we all need to work out who we are and find solutions that work for us. Find our own unique ways forward.
I found my own unique way forward, after discovering and then finally accepting, that I could no longer shoe horn myself, my purpose, my goals for life, into my role in that business. I decided to step onto a new path.
And as a Coach specialising in working with Founders, I get to apply those years of experience working with Founders and also my own experience of running a business to truly empathize and get You.
