Being the Leader your startup needs you to be

Step into the leadership role your startup demands. This interactive 2-hour masterclass is designed for founders and early-stage leaders who want to grow alongside their ventures. You’ll explore the mindsets, habits, and decision-making frameworks that distinguish effective startup leadership, and learn how to balance vision with adaptability as your business evolves.

Through real-world examples, guided discussions, and practical exercises, you’ll gain greater clarity, confidence, and focus in how you lead. You’ll also leave with an action plan to help you lead with purpose, self-awareness, and agility in the fast-changing world of startups.

This workshop is ideal for founders, co-founders, and early-stage entrepreneurs who may be new to leadership or seeking to strengthen their ability to guide a growing team.

You’ll gain:

• A clear understanding of what effective startup leadership looks like
• Practical tactics and tools to lead with confidence and purpose
• Insight into how leadership mindsets evolve as your venture scales
• A personalised plan for developing your own leadership strengths
