"Peace, joy, harmony" - belongs in the world of myths.
Conflicts and tensions are simply part of everyday business life. The frustrating part is that tensions within your co-founder team slow you down more often than you'd like. I provide you with the tools you need to openly address tensions and constructively navigate conflicts.
Regain more ease in your collaboration.
The fact is that around 65% of start-ups fail due to interpersonal conflicts.
Typical conflicts in a team - do you recognise yourself?
- Your business is actually going well - everyone is doing "their" thing, but communication in your team seems tougher than before and sometimes feels more like an obstacle course.
- Joint meetings/workshops are not as effective as you would like or go round in circles - you don't get to the point and crucial decisions seem to fall by the wayside or are questioned again later
- Feedback in your team feels more like an echo than constructive input that leads to real change
- Strategic issues such as alignment and collaboration are constantly being submerged by day-to-day business
- There are an increasing number of topics that you are not making progress on as a team or that you postpone - e.g. for fear of never-ending and repetitive discussions
- You want to delegate topics, but the idea is not so easy for you, and no one can do it as well as you 😉
FACT IS that only 10% of the startups dealt intensively with themselves as a management team in the first 24 months.
In the first few years after founding your company, the focus is typically on scaling, product development and sales, and that's a good thing. Everyone pitches in where he or she is needed. The initial euphoria carries you through some chaotic times. After a few years, you realise that the collaboration in your co-founder team has changed: The common, fast-paced "we're moving forward" and "we're building something", "everyone pitches in" fades more into the background. Consolidation, scaling of processes and organisation are becoming more important. This is where tensions and conflicts arise: the familiar "growing pains" become noticeable: coordination difficulties, unclear roles and responsibilities, meetings in ever larger groups. This is normal and often leads to tensions and smouldering conflicts.

Hi, I'm Sandra - your expert for conflict resolution in business teams
My mission is to support entrepreneurial teams in realising the full potential of their collaboration so that they can focus all their energy on creating forward-looking solutions.
I have been working with entrepreneurs and management teams for 25 years: as co-founder of a blockchain start-up, team lead in a high-tech company, executive and team coach and partner of a serial entrepreneur.
I love conflict.
Well, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I love the challenge of it. Supporting co-founders and decision-making teams in naming the elephants in the room, taking away the fear of conflict and mastering challenging situations is my thing. I've often heard "the wiser one gives in"... but then the stupid ones would always win...
