Our Work

For CEOs of Rapidly Scaling Enterprises

The pace and intuition that built your enterprise are now meeting a new level of complexity, and the return on your personal effort is beginning to flatten. You are not trying to fix a struggling company. You are scaling a successful one.

Every engagement starts with you specifically: how you lead, where you are investing your time, and what the enterprise now requires that it didn't a year ago. That gives us clarity on what's working well and what needs to change to meet your goals and achieve your vision. From there, we focus on what's most pressing that will have the greatest positive impact.

Executive Advisory

One-on-one work with founders, CEOs, and C-suite executives who are navigating a capital event, succession, business scale, or a growth plateau. I begin with the EQPlus® diagnostic to identify exactly what's holding you back. We structure the engagement with checkpoints and track progress tied to outcomes. Our work evolves as the enterprise grows.

Leadership Teams

For founders and CEOs whose senior team isn't yet operating at the level the enterprise requires: during rapid growth, post-IPO transition, or culture recalibration. We engage the leadership team in the CEO's agenda and build a team capable of carrying authority on its own.

Facilitation

For leadership teams that are ready to examine direction, strategy, and how they operate together, and take the actions necessary to change the enterprise's trajectory. We bring frameworks built over years of leadership engagements to facilitate the hard conversations that produce clear decisions. This creates alignment and clear commitments that hold.

Testimonials

I gained more insight in our 1½ hour debrief than through all of the coaching I had received to date.

Myra Caldwell • EVP, Cadence Bank, N.A.

I had never worked with a coach before and wasn't quite sure what to expect. Daphne has such a kind, safe way about her that I found myself looking forward to our visits.

Paul Hobby • Founder and Managing Director, Genesis Park, on working together

What began as one conversation quickly expanded beyond anything I could have imagined.

Vera De Brito de Gyarfas • General Counsel & Corporate Secretary, NextDecade

Our company has restructured, strategically embracing our role as an industry leader. She helped me step into my own authority, expand into new business lines, and build a healthier relationship with success.
