So, you’ve launched a company.

You stepped into the arena, rallied a team, and created something special.

You’ve gained traction, grown revenue, earned loyal customers—and maybe closed a round or two.

You’ve built something that matters.

Yet there are times when doubt creeps in.

“Am I the leader my team really needs?”

“What if they knew how afraid I sometimes feel?”

“Can I build this company and have a life too?”

“Why does it feel like I’m in this alone?”

You’re not alone.

These are the quiet questions every founder faces.

And they’re exactly where real leadership begins.

I can help you.

I’m Rick Chastain, an ICF-certified leadership coach. In over 600 sessions with founders like you, we’ve navigated issues like:

  • Imposter syndrome

  • Co-founder conflict

  • Stress, anxiety, and burnout

  • Abiding with uncertainty

  • Balancing stakeholder expectations

  • Finding work-life balance

As your partner in growth, I support you in leading with emotional balance, grounded confidence, and a renewed sense of wholeness. 

Let’s talk about it.

  • "Rick has an extraordinary gift for facilitating inner transformation and the rare ability to truly listen. His patience and insight have been an integral part of my journey to confront my own limiting beliefs and behaviors, creating space for authentic growth and meaningful change."
