Humane Startup is a coaching, training and consulting company that will help you become the leader brave enough to blaze the “profit for purpose” trail without martyring yourself in the process.
How did you come up with the idea for the company?
Ever since I followed two dear friends out of a cushy corporate job to found our first company, I have wanted to change the way the startup leadership experience feels for those that are brave enough to take on some of the world’s most challenging problems.
Life post successful exit was particularly tough for us all (despite the “success”) and it opened up a 10 year quest to better understand the various stressors of startup life, what drives loneliness and mental health issues in leaders and what I might be able to do about it.
After my 3rd early stage startup experience (and working closely with the CEO and CRO) it was clear I needed to finish my psychology training and merge my infield experience with my therapeutic training to more deeply serve the next generation of businesses and their leaders!
