Coaching, Consulting, and Creative Problem-Solving

Human Performance Improvement and Intentional Development

We partner with purpose-driven founders to navigate the complex realities of scaling, approaching each growing organization as an interconnected whole rather than a mechanical problem to fix. Through creative problem-solving and deep human development, we help founders preserve what made them successful while building for what's next.

Vision

Organizations and leaders who embrace complexity, think systemically, and grow with intention create ripple effects of meaningful impact that extend far beyond their immediate sphere of influence. We envision a world where scaling doesn't mean sacrificing soul, where growth serves a purpose, and where founders feel supported in building something that matters.

Approach

We don't stand on the sidelines with generic frameworks. We step into the complexity with you, combining rigorous organizational development expertise with the real-world experience of building something meaningful. We work alongside you (not from above you) as thinking partners who understand that your growing organization is a living system with its own emerging patterns and untapped potential.

Mission

Who We Serve

Purpose-Driven Startup Founders Scaling from 10-50+ People.

You're building something that matters. You've moved beyond the "everyone in one room" stage, but you're not yet a corporate machine. You're in that complex middle ground where the intimacy of early startup life meets the realities of organizational growth.

You might be experiencing:

• Feeling disconnected from the culture you worked so hard to create

• Struggling with the "people side" of leadership as your team grows

• Making decisions that feel misaligned with your original values

• Watching new hires struggle to "get it" the way your early team did

• Balancing the need for systems with maintaining what makes you special

Specifically, We Work Best With:

Funded Startups Ready to Invest in Growth

• Series A through Series C companies with the resources to prioritize culture

• Founders who see organizational development as a competitive advantage, not an overhead

• Teams experiencing rapid growth (doubling in size within 12-18 months)

Technical or Product-Focused Founders

• Brilliant at building products, newer to building people and culture systems

• High achievers who apply the same intentionality to human development as technical challenges

• Leaders who value data and frameworks but understand people aren't machines

Values-Driven Leaders

• Founders who started with a clear "why" and want to preserve it through growth

• Leaders willing to slow down growth to get culture systems right

• Organizations where purpose and profit work together, not against each other

We're Probably NOT the Right Fit If:

• You're looking for quick fixes or simple solutions to complex people challenges

• You want someone to implement cookie-cutter programs without understanding your unique context

• You're not ready to invest time and resources in organizational development

• You prefer consultants who tell you exactly what to do rather than thinking partners who explore with you

• You're still in the "move fast and break things" phase without concern for what gets broken

Why Founders Choose Presence C&C:

"She gets the complexity we're dealing with and doesn't try to oversimplify it. Finally, someone who understands that scaling culture isn't just about adding more team-building activities."
