Amplify Synergy, Innovation, and Collaboration within Your Business Partnership with Cofounder Coach, Business Partnership Consultant, Sunny Sabbini

What I Offer - Cofounder Coach Business Partnership

The objective of Cofounder Coach Business Partnership is to get business partners and cofounders in conflict to reach a place where they are ready to collaborate again or, if necessary, make a guided transition to a new business arrangement.

My skill set as a business partnership and performance coach works best with entrepreneurs and small business owners, helping you resolve business partner issues.

You Know You Need Help

Conflict between business partners is natural, and not an indication of failure.

What matters most is how you address those issues. If tensions with your business partner have grown, you must take action. Perhaps you’ve already tried to problem-solve and seek personal and professional help with no success. As discouraged as you may feel, you want to ensure you’ve tried everything. I see partnerships recover from all sorts of challenges as we untangle the various issues and address the various sources of conflict.

Through coaching and counseling for business partners, I’m here to help you get unstuck and guide you towards a better way of managing your business and becoming a high- functioning business partnership.

What I Believe

Doing the inner work first. Working on our emotional and social intelligence, along with other personal capabilities, gives us an incredible advantage in our professional lives.
Systems approaches and solutions. It is important to understand the whole picture. Overly simplistic approaches that don’t address all of the key contributors and underlying problems are going to cost the business and the well-being of the partners.
Operating from our deepest and broadest wisdom. It’s important that your business decision are made with perspective. Decisions made from aggravation or confusion compromise our ability to see the road ahead and can lead us to make the situation worse.
Conflict as a positive catalyst. When handled well, differences and conflict can give us a deeper understanding of ourselves and others and lead to a stronger and more resilient partnership.

What It’s Like to Work with Me

I offer a structured, yet flexible approach to help you solve your unique challenges and partnership disagreements.

With my expertise, I apply proven models, tools and processes to address organizational and structural issues, as well as the dynamics of your relationship.

As part of the assessment process, I’ll be asking you to:

Consider your goals and what you’d like to improve in yourself
Engage in difficult but honest discussions
Be open to a greater understanding of your partner’s perspectives
Collaborate on solutions as needed
Try out new behaviors and perspectives

I’m always willing to customize my approach to your needs and preferences, and I will always be looking to balance support with challenging you in order to get results.
