Dans ce 2e épisode avec Cécile et Antoine Tauvel ils nous expliquent les étapes qu’ils ont franchi pour s’aligner et préparer à 2 cette décision importante.

Dans cette première interview en français de cette saison, j’ai le plaisir d’échanger avec Cécile et Antoine Tauvel de leur experience en tant que couple entrepreneurs.

Et plus spécifiquement comment ils concilient leur aventure entreprenariale avec leur vie de famille, sachant que ces 2 mondes se côtoient de très prêt.

How do you co-create your organisation culture with your co-founder(s) based on your joint values, mission and behaviours?

How do want it to feel to be working in your organisation?

In this solo-episode I’m taking you through a 5-step process to define together what culture you want for your organisation which will help you with communication and recruitment.

This theme of culture has been covered in episode 3 with Eleanor Ford, Chief People Officer of Zinc VC, and in episode 4 with the co-founders of OTD Andy Crotty & Chris Cummins, so if you haven’t yet listened yet don’t forget to go back to those episodes.

After almost 20 years of growing their organisation together, Chris Cummins and Andy Crotty, co-founders of Our Training Department, decided to take a step back from their organisation without leaving it, and appointed an MD to run the business.

What was the fuel of that decision?

What made them decide to take a step back rather than exit it?

How did they align on the process?

This is what we discuss in this second episode with Chris and Andy, where they share openly their journey to get to that big milestone for them and their business.

How do you build a culture inside out with your co-founders, based on your joint purpose and values?

This is what I’m talking about in this episode with Chris Cummins and Andy Crotty, co-founders of Our Training Department.

Chris and Andy had a strong desire to build a culture of diversity at OTD, while changing lives and inspiring people.

This could easily be an empty promise but not with them in the driving seat.

In this conversation we explore how 2 co-founders align on their values and mission to bring to life a unique culture which attracts talents, clients and associates.

Building a culture for your growing organisation based on your joint values and purpose and use it as a compass – this is what we cover in this second interview with Eleanor Ford, Chief People Officer of Zinc VC.

And when there is more than one founder, how do you align as a team of founders on the core values, the behaviours and the atmosphere you want your organisation to have?

Zinc is an organisation which invests in co-founder teams creating innovative solutions and building ambitious businesses that tackle the most pressing and complex challenges facing the health of people and the planet.

I’m delighted to be chatting to Eleanor Ford, Chief People Officer at Zinc VC, an organisation which invests in founders creating innovative solutions and building ambitious businesses that tackle the most pressing and complex challenges facing the health of people and the planet.

In this exclusive episode I’ve asked my peer, friend and awesome leadership coach Jacqui Jagger to interview me so I can talk about why that season is so close to my heart, my mission to help anyone in a business partnership grow and why supporting co-founders is so important to me.

Thank you Jacqui for making this episode special and personal.

In this new season I want to inspire new and experienced business co-founders to nurture, strengthen and optimise their partnership to avoid the dysfunctional traps many co-founders fall into and instead become a lasting, high-performing and fulfilled team of founders growing a thriving business

In this episode I share my learning from previous seasons of the show and how I came up with the theme as well as the concept of this new season.

The conflict you’re experiencing with your co-founder may have nothing to do with you. It may feel different as you feel like being the target of unpleasant comments and behaviours

But maybe there is an underlying issue causing that behaviour, which could be connected to past experiences, sometimes traumas

In this 3rd season of The Co-founders’ Show, I spotlight and analyse 10 common root causes for co-founders experiencing conflicts

In this 10th and last episode, we’re exploring how each co-founder brings their personal luggage into the relationship, how that can disrupt the partnership and how to handle it

Tensions and conflicts is one of the biggest pains for co-founders’ led business

And I believe those can be avoided or overcome by working on your self-awareness, mindset, and relationship

Listen to the end of the episode as I give you key questions to ponder over with your co-founder to help you start those important conversations
