How I help charity founders and researchers:
Professional development:
-
Mentorship and support on common start-up based challenges such as growth challenges, people operations, culture, path to impact, vision, values and measurement
- Defining and mobilising strategic and operational priorities using consulting frameworks
-
Exploring the charity problem statement and approach to launch e.g. hypothesis testing, data analysis, research, agile principles and helpful management techniques
-
Bridging the skills gap between yourself and the needs of the charity problem statement, using skill and competencies frameworks such the Knowdell skills matrix
-
Mapping to common start-up challenges and scenario planning against the failure modes
Personal and interpersonal development:
-
Uncovering and navigating difficult cruxes in new or established cofounder relationships
-
Working through emotional and cognitive limits that start-up tensions can likely surface
-
Introspective work relevant to the challenge of being a founder of a charity e.g.: More surface-level domains around self-awareness, motives, resilience limitations etc.
-
Deeper domains could be around difficult values, beliefs, narratives and mindsets that are accentuated when in a high-intensity role as a co-founder and 'out of comfort zone' (i.e. VUCA factors, high-pressure/pace/stakes). Pathways can include emotional coherence on such topics/scenarios and working through the symptoms (such as excessive anxiety, and stress) to their root causes/hidden emotional beliefs
