Startup Toolkit

Team thinking

Powerful pitching

One moment you’re an individual or a couple of individuals with a smart idea. Then suddenly you’re leading a (rapidly growing) team of people who are running an organisation! Now you need to think as a team, convince potential customers and investors, as well as manage stakeholders and interfaces …

I help startup teams deal with many of their most pressing challenges. The most common issues I get asked for help on?

  • Startup teams need to learn quickly how to work together effectively under pressure, to solve problems and make decisions.
  • And they then need to communicate their thinking to customers, investors and employees in a way that is clear, simple and compelling.

Through a mix of interactive workshops, real-world tasks and individual coaching, I help startup teams gain traction on mastering these challenges.

I will introduce you to practical tools and frameworks that cover three elements:

Collaborative thinking: How do we tackle group problem solving and decision making in a structured, effective and efficient way?

Clear, punchy pitches: How do we work together to articulate our offering and its value proposition in a way that is clear, simple and compelling?

Writing it up powerfully: How do we work together effectively to create presentations and reports that tell our story, rather than obscuring it?
