Clients
We partner with high-momentum entrepreneurs leading companies of 50-500 employees, typically VC/PE-backed or profitably bootstrapped. Our approach requires dedicated, growth-oriented clients who can drive change, involve their teams, and act on feedback between sessions. While we focus on these leaders, we also work with select investors and individuals in the venture ecosystem committed to transformation.

Julius understands the team deeply - including each individuals’ personalities, motivations, working styles, and concerns. He is a great sounding board to help us find the best path forward and helps us see around corners before we run into issues. He is also great at facilitating discussions and identifying unspoken tensions in the room. We’ve improved our decision making — we learned about different decision making modes and when we should be using each.

Boosted My Productivity
My own employees tell me that I have become much more focused, work more purposefully, and have a clear vision that we are now following. This is reflected in our revenue and the way we communicate. I believe that the greatest strength or what helped me the most in coaching was actually the reflection of my own thoughts. Julius really gets a sense of how your own mind is structured, and it helps immensely in determining what to focus on, what to avoid, and what to accept clearly.

Most coaches are what I call 'happy day coaches.' You get advice for your daily business, but you ask yourself: Did I really need this? Was it worth the money?
Julius is another kind of coach. He is there for you in sunshine and in rain, when things are really difficult. When you are under pressure in new situations and need advice and contacts fast.

Deep Exploration
Julius's zone of genius is his ability to listen in a very open, reflective, and empathetic manner, something I've rarely encountered. This skill helped me to question myself more deeply, and it worked very well.
I received positive feedback from my team, colleagues, and superiors regarding my work quality and calm demeanor. This has made me feel much happier, more content, and more at peace. One of the most wonderful results is the birth of my daughter, which I believe was also a consequence of the positive changes I experienced.
