“Every single conversation that I have had with Ada has been useful, with zero exceptions. Having a coach that has actually gone through the mud of being a founder provides Ada with a unique ability to provide a constant stream of clear, actionable insights that are invaluable to me.”I work with founders and CEOs who want to scale themselves as they scale their teams. I wish I'd had someone helping me in my early career when I was a founder and executive. Not to tell me how to lead or what to do, but to guide me in figuring out my own unique leadership style and navigate roadblocks when I hit them the first time. There are many successful models of leadership, but finding one that is authentic and aligned to my values was critical in helping me grow into my new role. I'm excited to take what I've learned and help the next generation of leaders!
