I partner with mid-stage startups to build a workplace culture that fuels growth.
Growth Starts with You
Coaching Tailored to
Startup Founders & Execs
For founders ready to scale their team. Shifting from a small, tight-knit group of strategic leaders to operating as a leader of people marks a critical point in a company’s growth. We’ll work together to uncover behaviors that worked to get you here but won’t work to get you where you want to go. You’ll learn how to set the tone for a company culture you crave without sacrificing business results. Your confidence as a leader will grow and your effectiveness as a leader will be accelerated.
For Org Wide Impact
Consulting
For rapidly growing startups struggling to connect the elusive phrase “company culture” to tangible behaviors that foster an environment of great work. The transformation can be felt quickly because we identify daily micro behaviors that are inadvertently creating a negative workplace culture and get to work replacing those with behaviors that create a culture of good work and happy teams. We’ll identify communication skills to be developed so that routine interactions like 1:1’s, and team meetings accelerate a culture of great work. This is a custom consulting engagement that addresses your unique challenges and desired outcomes.
Workshops
For startup leaders and teams who want to improve communication, connection, and effectiveness. In my workshops, I employ the McLaughlin Method to uncover the unsaid and hard to say things that are blockers to productive communication. These workshops are incredibly effective at building and rebuilding relationships so that work together becomes easy, collaborative, and wildly successful.
Why McLaughlin Method Works
The startup environment and theater have a lot of crossover. I would know - I spent 10 years in theater and have held leadership positions in startups. Both require a high tolerance for rapid change, ever changing dynamics, and working with passionate, ambitious individuals. Theater is the practice of empathy - understanding and effectively responding to unspoken communication. I learned how to apply what I learned in theater to the workplace environment to foster effective communication and collaboration even when widely differing opinions and work styles exist. My method goes beyond traditional (and often unhelpful) theory based workshops. The McLaughlin Method creates lasting change that impacts the trajectory of individuals, teams, and organizations.
