for companies and founders.

1:1 coaching for founders. Facilitation for leadership teams and co-founders. Workshops that actually land - because the people in the room have been seen, not just trained.

high performance is expensive.

Burnout is the most predictable cost on your P&L that nobody puts on the P&L.

Your best people leave. Your senior team makes worse decisions when they're under-slept. Your co-founders stop trusting each other because they're both too tired to communicate well. Your team workshops produce flipcharts that no one looks at again.

You already know this. You also know that another off-site, another book club, another meditation app subscription isn't going to fix it.

The work I do with companies is different. It's not a wellbeing perk. It's leadership development that takes the body seriously - because the patterns that drive burnout in your team are the same patterns that drive worse decisions, slower trust, and lower retention.

Strategic conversation and somatic work, in the same room, in service of the actual leadership outcomes you need.

how we can work together.

founder 1:1 coaching

For founders and senior leaders carrying the kind of weight that doesn't show up on a Slack status. Six months. Bi-weekly sessions. Strategic and somatic, integrated. The same work I do with women leaders in private practice, structured for the realities of running a company.

starts from €6,000

co-founder facilitation

For co-founder pairs whose communication is degrading under pressure - whether you're aligned on direction and stuck on execution, or aligned on execution and quietly diverging on direction. Facilitated sessions that surface what's underneath, decide what to do about it, and rebuild the working relationship.

custom scoping

leadership group coaching

For leadership teams who keep having the same conversations and reaching the same impasses. Monthly 90-minute group coaching sessions over six months. Custom-designed around the actual issues your team is facing - not a templated curriculum.

starts from €12,000 for six months

workshops and facilitation

Half-day workshops on capacity, leadership transitions, and somatic awareness for teams. Custom-designed for what your team actually needs. Includes a follow-up check-in with HR or the manager two weeks later, so the work has somewhere to land instead of evaporating.

starts from €3,000 for a half-day

what founders say.

"One of the toughest challenges I've faced as a founder is knowing when to hit the brakes while the ship is still moving at full speed. Working with Zuz as my coach gave me the clarity I needed to navigate those moments. She helped me realise that peak performance depends not only on understanding our business environment but also on mastering our own personal landscape."

Marc, founder, Candide

"Working with Zuz has been great for clarifying some key business decisions. She asks the right questions and pulls on the right threads to get to the root of my thinking. This has been instrumental at clearing my mind and outlining solid next steps to move forward with the problem."

Kurt, co-founder, Rhinestone

"Zuza is a great listener who cuts straight to what matters. Her direct style and sharp questions helped me gain clarity and move through challenges I'd been circling for a while. Our sessions always left me with a clearer path and renewed confidence."

Nenad, CPO and co-founder, DeFi Saver

"Zuza's coaching actually helped me transition from a 'people-pleasing' mindset to a firm, boundary-led approach. By applying her strategies, I was able to reclaim my time and well-being while actually increasing client satisfaction and respect for my work."

Faith Roberts, founder of FiTech Community, DevRel at SI<3>

why work with me.

I spent a decade in operating roles before I started coaching - product and category management at Reebok, then six years across the tech and crypto ecosystem in DevRel, ecosystem, and partnerships work. I've sat in your seats. I know what a Tuesday looks like when the team is melting down, the board call is in three hours, and your co-founder isn't returning your messages.

I'm not coming at this as a wellness practitioner who's added some leadership content. I'm coming at it as someone who built and led teams, then trained as a coach because I saw what was actually moving people through hard moments - and what wasn't.

how engagements work.

Every engagement starts with an intro call - 30 minutes, free, no commitment. We talk about what you're trying to address, what you've tried, and what good would look like.

If we're a fit, I send a custom proposal within a week. If we're not, I'll tell you and point you somewhere better.

Engagements are scoped individually. Workshops can be live within a few weeks. Coaching engagements typically start within a month of the proposal being signed.

I work with a small number of companies at a time, by design. The work I do doesn't scale by adding more clients - it scales by going deeper with the right ones.

think this might be a fit?

The intro call is the next step. Thirty minutes. No pitch, no preparation needed. We'll talk about what you're working on and whether the work I do is the right work for it.
