Perspective
Advise. Challenge. Coach.
Different questions require different roles. Sometimes founders need expertise and a clear recommendation. Sometimes assumptions need to be challenged and tested. And sometimes the founder or team itself becomes part of the question.
- Advise
- When business expertise, structure or orientation is needed.
- Challenge
- When assumptions, priorities or decisions need to be questioned and tested.
- Coach
- When personal development, uncertainty or team dynamics become relevant.
