Hi, I'm Nora.

Build a business that runs without you every hour.

I help founders of small teams stop being the bottleneck. We find the three things that matter, hand off the rest, and build a week you actually want.

Coaching for founders who are ready to step back

This is for you if

  • You run a business with 2 to 30 people and everything still goes through you.
  • You are working evenings and weekends and growth has stalled anyway.
  • You know what to fix, but never get to it.

It is not for you if

  • You want someone to do the work for you.
  • You are looking for a quick hack, not a change in how you work.

My story

I was the bottleneck too.

I built and sold a 20 person agency. For the first six years I answered every email, signed off every proposal and missed most dinners.

Then I learned to lead instead of do. Revenue doubled the year I worked half the hours. Now I teach founders the same system.

Questions, answered

Who do you work with?

Founders and owners of businesses with 2 to 30 people. Most of my clients run service businesses, agencies, shops and small software companies.

What happens on the free call?

We talk for 30 minutes about where you are and what you want to change. If I can help, I will tell you how. If not, I will point you somewhere better.

Do you meet in person?

Sessions are on Zoom, so you can join from anywhere. Clients near Portland can meet in person once a month.

How is this different from therapy?

Coaching looks forward and focuses on your work and your business. I am not a therapist and I will suggest one if what you need is therapy.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Founder Reset can be paid in three monthly payments at no extra cost.

What if it is not working?

Tell me. If you are not happy after the first two sessions of Founder Reset, I refund the rest.
