Mentoring for leaders

What it is

1:1 mentoring for founders, C-level, Heads and managers - by the hour.

Who it's for

People carrying real weight in their role, who want a partner to think through it.

Format

60-minute sessions. Book what you need, no packages.

Location

Remote via Google Meet. In-person in Tricity or Wroclaw.

What we can work on

Things we can dig into.

These are example topics, not a fixed menu. Come with a sharp question, a vague sense that something's off, or a complete mess - we'll figure out together what's actually worth working on.

01

You as a leader

  • Upskilling yourself: feedback, 1:1s, hard conversations
  • The transition from expert to manager
  • Making hard calls, alone at the top
  • Managing energy, not just time
  • Communicating as a leader: all-hands, hard messages, layoff announcements
  • A sparring partner before big decisions
  • Handling conflicts and company politics
02

The people around you

  • Difficult conversations you've been avoiding
  • Cross-functional collaboration that isn't a slogan
  • Building or resetting your team
  • Coaching your directs into leaders
  • Working with boards and investors - reporting, expectations, hard meetings
03

Your business

  • Strategy that survives contact with reality
  • Prioritisation when everything is urgent
  • Turning an OKR into weekly work
  • Scaling decisions: what to fix before you double the team
  • M&A from the operator's seat
  • Layoffs and restructures - the leadership side
  • AI in your company and how to build your AIops

If you'd rather have me run it than talk it through - see Fractional COO.

How it works

One hour at a time.

The sessions.

60 minutes, focused on a real problem you bring. I ask questions, we work through it, you leave with the next thing to try - not a lecture and not a framework.

Straight talk.

I say how it is - including the parts that are uncomfortable. If what you want is validation, this isn't the right room. If you want the truth as I see it, we'll get along.

Who you'll be working with

A mentor who has run the job.

I've sat where you're sitting. Not the theory of it - the actual seat. That's the only reason to bring me in.
